We specialize in creative wedding and elopement photography in New York City, and we're here to help you capture the magic of your wedding.

Capturing the Magic

When it comes to wedding and elopement photography, it's not just about taking pictures of the two of you. It's about capturing the unique story of your day and all of the moments that make your wedding special and unforgettable (from special gifts, to the tears to the kids and grandparents that are present. This comes by focusing on capturing candid, natural moments that tell the story of the day, allowing them to happen naturally rather than posing or directing. This lets us capture the raw emotion and beauty of your day in a way that is unique and personal to you.

One of the ways we capture candid moments is by getting to know you on a personal level. We want to know your story - it’s the first thing we’ll ask about! The better we know your personalities, your vision, your wedding day goals, the more we can anticipate moments and capture them in a way that is authentic to you.

We also prioritize the little details that make your wedding day unique. From the intricate lace on your wedding dress to the floral arrangements, all of those small details are what make the day special. We understand that these details are an essential part of the story of your day, and we capture them in a way that is both artistic and personal.
