I am super honored to be an award winning member of the Wedding Photojournalist Association, a Knot Best of Weddings Pick Hall of Fame, Junebug Weddings Top NYC Wedding Photographers, Fearless Photographer and a Photo District News Top Knots best in category winner. My wedding work has been featured in The Knot printed magazine, Junebug Weddings, Ruffled and WeddingWire. Why do I photograph weddings? I started my career as a magazine and advertising photographer. My wedding business grew from my commercial client list. Art directors and editors were looking for charismatic images of their wedding day. It was important they had a photographer they felt comfortable with and who would deliver inspiring images. There is an intense amount of planning and production that goes into a wedding, similar to the coordination of a commercial shoot. I find photographing your wedding day to be a great honor and incredibly gratifying.

On a more personal note, I do feel like matching up the right photographer with a great couple is a lot like dating. So in the spirit of the dating game, I love to travel and photograph all of my adventures. Visiting Egypt and Jordan in 2018 was a travel highlight! Currently I'm exploring the great state of New York because of the pandemic. If you see me wearing a hat or shirt you like, there is a good chance I made it. I have a burning desire to always be creating. When I'm not behind the camera I might behind my sewing machine or blocking a new hat. I make sure I have some dark chocolate each day. It's like water or oxygen, a must. Late summer and early fall is my favorite time of year.
