Editorial Wedding Photographer based in NYC & Charleston, SC
APPROACH /
The planning process is important to me. It allows me to really get to know my clients and build a genuine connection with them prior to the big day. My goal is for the day to feel effortless to the bride and groom. I scout locations and master the schedule so that I come into the wedding day completely prepared. On the day, I cultivate an atmosphere that allows my clients to relax and be themselves.
STYLE /
With over 15+ years of experience as a Fashion Photographer in NYC, my editorial approach reimagines traditional wedding photography for fashion-forward couples, blending fine art with a romantic aesthetic. My personal passions are deeply rooted in fashion, design and minimalism. These influences are deeply steeped into my wedding work. I specialize in editorial and elegant luxury wedding photography that is sensuous, adventurous, uncompromising and artfully beautifully by balancing raw emotions and styled elegance.
CAREER /
Beginning at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, where I was honored to receive the one-time-only full photography scholarship awarded by legendary musician, John Denver. Just days after graduating, I moved to South Beach, Miami, to immerse myself in the fashion industry. While assisting world-renowned photographers, I also managed the largest prop house, drawing inspiration from the world of cinema. Eventually relocated to New York City to further my career at the highest level. My first role was at the iconic Industria Studios, where I had the privilege of working with top industry talent and celebrities. Over time, I progressed from editorial magazine shoots to catalog and commercial work. I also had the opportunity to second-shoot for a top wedding photographer, and I quickly became captivated by the challenges, fast-paced environment, and the love-filled atmosphere of weddings. With my extensive experience, I aim to provide you with peace of mind on your special day.
