Montauk Yacht Club Wedding Photography

The Fall is one of my favorite seasons in New York. I love when the weather gets a bit cooler, the leaves start to change, and it’s the perfect time of year for a wedding. Margaret and Phil love Montauk. They spend many Summer’s together growing their relationship out in the Hamptons so it was the only place to have their wedding. The held their wedding ceremony and reception at the stunning Gurneys Star Island Resort.

The bride wore a stunning wedding gown from Pronovias and her grandmother’s wedding ring in her honor. Her bridesmaids wore blush peach dresses and held delicate bouquets from AvaFloral. Margaret’s all white wedding bouquet is one of my favorites ever! So simple and so stunning. The groom wore a light blue suit and his best men were a mix of the brides brother and his childhood best friend. Margaret and Phil had their wedding ceremony outside in front of the cottages with the lake view at Gurneys Star Island Resort. The stood under the beautiful floral arch that framed the couple perfectly.

As the couple exchanged their vows and became husband and wife, everyone was overcome with emotion and celebrated the newlyweds as they walked down the aisle arm and arm. The Farmhouse Ballroom was decorated with white and pops of greenery. Margaret and Phil love to dance and A Sterling Band kept the dance floor packed the entire reception. It was such an honor to be with Margaret and Phil on their wedding day and I can’t wait to see what life has in store for this amazing, sweet, and lovable couple! xo

Brooklyn Winery Wedding Photos

One of my all time favorite venues to photograph weddings is the Brooklyn Winery in Williamsburg. It’s a smaller venue that tends to be more charming and intimate for weddings, and of course, their wine is incredible! Each time I’m asked to document a wedding and the couple chooses Brooklyn Winery for their venue, I get excited!

Colleen and Andrew’s wedding is one of my favorites. They are just the sweetest couple who were truly made for each other. They compliment each other so well and they are a joy to be around. Colleen wore the most delicate lace wedding dress, twig and honey gold leaf hair pin and a pair of CatBird earrings she had picked up the day before. Andrew looked handsome in his navy suite and custom sunglasses that had the couples wedding date printed on them. The both got ready at the William Vale hotel so we decided to have their first look in their private rooftop garden in brooklyn. The look of happiness on Andrew’s face when he turned around to see Colleen with open arms waiting for him was truly touching.

We visited the brand new Domino Park for their bridal party photos which are some of my favorites before heading back to Brooklyn Winery to prepare for their wedding ceremony. In front of their wedding guest, Colleen and Andrew exchanged laughs, tears, and wedding vows to officially become husband and wife. The night was so much fun and it was a true honor to be part of their wedding day. They are going to have a wonderful, adventurous life together and can’t wait to see what happens next for this amazing couple! xo

Newborn Session Photos in Manhattan, NY

I’m so excited to share images from this sweet in-home newborn session in Manhattan because of how it came to be. See, this gorgeous momma was a bridesmaid in one of the weddings I photographed over four years ago. Yes, 4 years ago!! She remembered me and asked me to document her lifestyle newborn photos for the arrival of her second son. I was so blown away and beyond excited to reconnect! We had a great natural light session in their gorgeous upper west side apartment. Congratulations on your new baby boy and can’t wait to see how they both grow up! xo

Bridgehampton Tennis and Surf Club Wedding Photos

On one of the most perfect Fall days I've ever seen in the Hamptons, Catherine and Chris were married in front of their closest family and friends at the Queen of the Most Holy Church in Bridgehampton, NY. The bride wore a stunning light, beach friendly dress by Tara Keely and crystal encrusted Louboutin flats. Chris was emotional as his soon-to-be wife walked down the aisle to officially become husband and wife. Guests tossed rose petals at the newlyweds as they left the church and we headed to Bridgehampton Tennis and Surf Club for photos.

Crystal clear skies and warm sand was the perfect backdrop for the couples bride and groom photos. The beach is so important to the couple and they wanted to take all their photos outside to preserve the wonderful memories they share as a couple. Wildflower Floral Events created beautiful bouquets of white hydrangea's, pink roses, and pink dahlia's and decorated the Bridgehampton Tennis and Surf Club with a timeless and romantic aesthetic. Hank Lane's Nocturne Band was simply incredible and I don't think I saw anyone sitting down once the reception really started to take off. I'm so happy for Catherine and Chris and honored to have been part of their wedding day. xo
