I capture the unspoken — the glances, the silences — drawing from New York's pulse and the richness of global cultures. Every wedding is its own intricate narrative. Rooted in theatre and life's everyday rhythms, I document moments both transient and timeless.

Ritz Carlton Philadelphia Wedding

Winter weddings are always a bit of a gamble, aren’t they?  You’re never sure what the weather is going to be.  Will it rain?  Snow?  Be randomly super warm?  Will you get to go outside for pictures, especially since it gets so dark so very, very early?  Except for about ten minutes of quick Broad Street shots, I spent all day indoors at this exceptional Ritz with Sara and Anthony on their wedding day.  But being “stuck indoors” really isn’t a thing when the place you’re “stuck” in is the Ritz Philly!  With abundant locations for portraits, creative imagery, their ceremony, first look, and reception, I’ll get “stuck” in this space with this exceptional duo anytime!

Here are a few of my favorite images from their wedding:
