There’s something about New York City that makes wedding photos feel different from anywhere else. The scale. The energy. The way late-afternoon light catches the stone of a bridge while two people stand perfectly still inside it. Wedding photos in NYC carry a weight that’s hard to explain until you see one in person. After […]

He had the ring. He had the spot. He had one shot to get it right. Alex chose a weekday morning in early spring. The kind of morning when the Cuxa Cloister garden is just starting to bloom and the crowd hasn’t found its way in yet. Kathleen thought they were visiting the museum. They […]

There’s a moment at almost every wedding that nobody put on the timeline. The flower girl who decided to sit down halfway down the aisle. The dad who held it together through the entire ceremony and then completely fell apart during the first dance. The grandmother quietly watching from across the room with an expression […]

There is something about small wedding ideas that genuinely excites me as a photographer. When you strip away the 200-person guest list and the enormous venue, what you have left is the actual story. Two people. The people who matter most. Moments that are impossible to fake. Over 30 years shooting weddings across Northern New […]

After 30+ years photographing weddings across Northern New Jersey and New […]

Moments like this—unposed, emotional, and quiet—are exactly what couples are looking for when searching for a Palace at Somerset Park wedding photographer who documents real connection instead of forced poses. The […]

Rain started halfway through Bronwyn and Andrew’s wedding day at Our Lady of Hope Church in Glen Cove, and instead of scrambling or stressing, they just grabbed an umbrella and kept going. After 30 years of photographing weddings, I can tell you that’s the difference between couples who end up with generic “perfect weather” photos […]

When Kaitlyn and Daniel chose Our Lady of Good Counsel Church for their ceremony followed by Midtown Loft & Terrace for their reception, they got the full New York wedding experience. Historic Upper East Side church, vintage trolley through Manhattan, rooftop terrace with Empire State Building views. This is why couples choose NYC. Two Getting-Ready […]
