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.

Wedding at Capitale in NYC

Capitale, 130 Bowery. A Persian-American ceremony with both cultural traditions. 185 guests. Portraits on the ceremony stage, then upstairs, then outside with a vintage taxi cab on the Bowery.

The Grand Ballroom transformed from ceremony to reception while we were upstairs. By the time we came back down, it was a different room entirely.

For everything you need to know about planning a wedding at Capitale, my full venue guide covers it all.
