Desiree and Ryan were married on October 3, 2026, and their Collingswood Grand Ballroom wedding had fall details in every direction. A large oak tree, pumpkins, sunflowers, and a green suit beside an ivory dress made the historic venue a pleasure to photograph. The place also carried meaning for them, because it was connected to […]

Sebastian and Daniely’s St. Gregory the Great Church wedding took place on September 26, 2026, in Harrison, New York. I photographed their ceremony and their portraits at the church, from Sebastian waiting at the altar to the last family photograph on the front steps.

On October 2, 2026, I photographed Morticia’s Ball 2026 at James Ward Mansion in Westfield, New Jersey.
