Editorial Wedding Photographer based in NYC & Charleston, SC

STYLE/

SENSUOUS,ADVENTUROUS & UNCOMPROMISING. 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 tells your story intimately and artfully by beautifully balancing raw emotions and styled elegance.

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.

CAREER/

It began 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. After a few years, I took the leap 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.
