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.

Rock Island Lake Club Autumn Wedding

Rock Island Lake Club in Sparta in autumn is everything. The lake reflects the foliage. The natural birchwood arch ceremony site at the water’s edge. The 20-foot barrel ceiling ballroom with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out at the color. Fall here is extraordinary.

A wedding dress gracefully hangs in front of a window in New York. A bride getting ready for her New York wedding. A bride looking out of a window in her wedding dress in New York. A bride and groom are standing in front of a tree, capturing their blissful New York wedding moment. A bride and groom looking at each other in front of bushes during their New York wedding. A close up of flowers and leaves on a tree in New York. A wedding couple walking down the aisle in New York. A bride and groom laughing during their wedding ceremony in New York.
