Blue Hill at Stone Barns Wedding Photos

Sometimes fate has a funny way of working out. The Bride and Groom went to college together but never met until several years later at a college reunion. After getting to know each other, they quickly hit it off and their courtship began. Their bohemian chic Indian fusion Blue Hill at Stone Barns wedding embodies both of them so perfectly—the blending of two families and two cultures on a very special day.

They hired Canas Miracle to design, coordinate and plan their stunning wedding at the iconic Blue Hill at Stone Barns in Tarrytown, NY. What an incredible venue to host their multicultural celebration. The Bride wore a handmade traditional Indian wedding dress with lots of personal touches and hand embellishments that up close, were breathtaking. The Groom wore a traditional Indian outfit to honor his new bride as they became husband and wife.

Their outdoor fall wedding ceremony was so beautiful and the September weather did not disappoint. As the sun began to set, the temperature cooled down as the Bride and Groom walked to the center of the courtyard at Stone Barns. They stood under a spectacular chuppah that was completely covered in hops, which I had never seen before!! They exchanged vows with their children, then with each other, and finally exchanged rings to make it official. It was a joyous wedding with lots of love, laughter, and plenty of emotions. I am so honored I was able to capture this bohemian chic fusion wedding at Blue Hill at Stone Barns for this wonderful couple! xo

Newborn Photography in Darien, Connecticut

One of the greatest joys of my life was becoming a mother. Being able to create life and then take care of baby will forever change any women. One of the side benefits to being a mom myself is that I have a lot more empathy for new moms and totally understand what they are going through which makes my in home newborn sessions very relaxed. We go slow with the session and take time whenever the baby needs a break, a nap, and of course, a meal. 

I am so happy that I can continue to document my couples lives throughout their own journeys into parenthood. It's truly a miracle and I'm so happy to be able to offer my photography services and be part of their lives for many years to come. Here are a few favorites from my sweet couples in home newborn session in their sun drenched home. The light was perfect and their daughter is just the sweetest. Enjoy! xo

Fall Central Park Engagement Photography in NYC

Getting up early at sunrise to head to Central Park from Brooklyn is definitely a no short trek into Manhattan but each time I arrive, I'm reminded as to why it's worth it. No one is there and you have the biggest park in New York City all to yourself. In other words, it's magical!

I am so excited to share a few of my favorite photos from Elyisha and Nadeem's sunrise engagement photos in Central Park from this past Fall. The sun was slow to rise but once she was out, we had a blast taking full advantage on the Bow Bridge and in front of The Boathouse Restaurant in the middle of the park. These two are the sweetest couple and I cannot wait for their epic two-day wedding this Summer at The Park Chateau in New Jersey. Enjoy! xo

Montauk Yacht Club Wedding Photos

From the very minute I met Megan and Dave, I knew we were going to have the best time together. They are so in love, so giving, and caring that it was a match made in heaven. We had the best time during their engagement session and the fun continued well into their wedding day at Gurney's Star Island (formerly the Montauk Yacht Club) in Montauk, NY. The couple spent many summers out in the Hamptons and Montauk was the only place they wanted to get married. 

Megan wore a breathtaking mermaid wedding dress from Monique Lhuillier and nude, crystal studded Christian Louboutin flats. Pinned to Megan's wedding bouquet was her brother's U.S. Army tag because he is on active duty servicing our country and unable to make it back to the states on leave. This was Megan's way of having him with her on her wedding day which was incredibly touching. We thank him for his service for protecting our country! Dave looked ever so handsome in his tuxedo from The Black Tux. The couple got married at  St. Therese in Montauk before we were whisked away to the Montauk Lighthouse for their bridal party photos and bride and groom portraits. The weather was supposed be clear but some how the rain showed up just as we got to the Lighthouse so we powered through the rain and took as many photos as we could before returning to Gurney's Star Island Resort  to take some fun bridal party photos in the iconic Turtle Room. It was a blast to have their closest friends pop open a can of their favorite beer from Montauk Brewery and cheers the happy couple!

The night was filled with so many wonderful and touching speeches, dances, and heartfelt happiness. It was a joy to photograph and document their wedding day!! I'm so honored to have been part of their love story and can't wait to see what life has in store for this amazing couple. Congratulations Newlyweds!! xo
