Micro Wedding in New York

Sometimes, in life, you have to just roll with the punches and make lemonade out of lemons that are beyond your control. When the pandemic guidelines starting to become more strict for gatherings and events, Ashley and Tim knew that their original wedding plans were going to have to be reimagined. The couple did not want to wait to get married so coming up with a plan b was top of mind.

The couple decided to throw an intimate, small micro wedding at their new home in new york. They held their outdoor ceremony in the front yard and wedding reception in their backyard. It might not have been what they initially planned but with an incredible vendor team, it was absolutely breathtaking. No detail was spared and it was even more romantic, meaningful, and emotional than anyone could have dreamt.

Ashley and Tim shared their first look on the front lawn of The Master’s School in Dobbs Ferry. They were married in front of a gorgeous floral ceremony arch with birchwood swathed in weeping wisteria, calla lilies, and long white orchids by Ruth Ridgewood Designs. Ashley and Tim had a clear canopy tent in their backyard so their guests could dine al fresco under the night sky. Wooden chairs, long farm tables, and lots of candlelight set the mood.

I’m so excited to share a few of my favorite images from their wedding day. Ashley and Tim’s wedding was also featured on Martha Stewart Weddings.

Newborn Photos in Manhattan, NYC

When your clients become parents, It’s one of the biggest joys in my life to be asked to document their newborn photos. As soon as Sammie told me she was expecting, I was overjoyed with the good news. Not only was she & Tomer going to be incredible parents but I was also going to see them again to document some of the very first photographs of their newborn son, Jonah.

Their light filled new york city apartment is beautifully decorated and ready when I arrived for their newborn session. For their son’s nursery, Sammie had a custom neon light up neon sign created in Jonah’s name and created for their little guy. She created an inviting, warm space for him to laugh and grow up into the sweetest boy.

I’m beyond excited to share a few of my favorite family photos from their newborn session. Congratulations to this adorable family of three. I can’t wait to watch Jonah grow up!

Small Wedding Photography in The Hamptons

When it became clear that big weddings were not going to be happening in 2020, most couples decided to postpone their wedding. Michaela and Micheal made the tough decision early on to push back their Spring wedding to the Fall, and then ultimately to the following year.

However, within a few weeks, they realized that they didn’t want to wait another 365 days to get married and decided to host a micro wedding in the Hamptons within a few short weeks. They invited only their immediate family which consisted of 12 guests total including their adorable nieces and nephews.

Their immediate family stayed together for a week at a private estate in Montauk that had ocean views and quick beach access. The couple’s intimate wedding ceremony was held at St. Peter the Apostle Mission Church in Amagansett and they even brought in fresh white hydrangeas for the special occasion.

There is something so magical about a small, intimate, and meaningful wedding ceremony. Everyone was emotional and elated with joy once the newlyweds were officially pronounced husband and wife (yourself included!)

After Michaela and Michael were married, we headed to the beach to catch the light for their bride and groom photos. Once back at the Estate, the couple listened to live music from their wedding band Cafe Wha and danced on the lawn with their immediate family. Capturing the Brides Father’s speech welcoming his new son-in-law was very emotional and moving but I think the Groom’s love letter to his new bride stole the show.

I’m honored and grateful for the opportunity to have been part of their micro wedding in Montauk. My team and I were careful and followed COVID guidelines to capture their wedding day as if it was planned this way all along. I’m so happy they decided not to wait to get married and we’re all looking forward to their bigger celebration later this Fall.

Michaela and Michael’s wedding was featured on Style Me Pretty.

Micro Wedding Featured on Martha Stewart Weddings

I am so excited to finally be able to share that one our incredible couples has been featured in Martha Stewart Weddings. Ashley and Tim decided that didn’t want to cancel their wedding or wait any longer due to the pandemic, so they created a smaller guest list and keep their original wedding date. They held their wedding ceremony in their front yard and created an intimate clear tented reception in their backyard at their new home in New York. With 32 guests and their love for one another, the couple declared their love on a perfect Summer day and officially became husband and wife. With an initial date change and then a quick venue change, I am beyond grateful that my couple made sure I was part of their decision making process to capture their wedding day.
