Philosophy & Vision

I value depth and care about getting to know you.

Art that adapts to the mood of the couple and the city.

I'm an artist and I channel my art into my photography.

Art I'm inspired by: Floral and moody Impressionist paintings, AI photography, streetwear, Fashion from the 30's, 40's, and 50's, the works of Jane Austen,

I value creating photos that are artistic in style, composition, and design. When you hire me, you're hiring an artist who creates art.

We are an elopement planning service that's for you and your community. We care about giving care and dignity to all humans no matter their size, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, religion, age, or abilities.

Shooting Style:

A balance of artistic posing with...
Completely candid moments...
Less documentary style more of a cinematic approach, as if you two are the main characters in a movie.
Direction and posing are available for moments when they are needed.
In our planning, we will discuss what percentage of posing input vs. candid prompts you would appreciate. Most clients choose a 20% posed/80% candid approach.

I believe the greatest romances are the ones that stick through high highs and low lows.

We are movie lovers and that translates to the way we work with you- the way we take photos, videos, direct and pose you (when needed), or give you prompts to enjoy your time together.

For cuoples in love- comfortalbe in their love and for couples with sacred love stories.

We want to create photos the world will look at and know the depth of your love, the personality of your story.

Our photos feel like warm vintage editorial hugs.

We create wedding moments that celebrate you and your love as it is in this season of your lives.

Whether you have a big budget or a small budget, we're here to provide you with beautiful memories with photos that feel like editorial and cinematic

Photos that...

Don't follow traditional wedding photo rules.
Celebrate both light and shadow.
Cinematic colors and wonder.
create moments that leave you prsent with the gaze of the one you love.
Moments to make out, walk hand in hand, hug to your heart's content
Celebrate how far your love has come and celebrate where it's going.

Elopements that are sacred, still, and quiet. Full of laughter, city adventures, and probably pizza.

NYC is Your Venue

We believe New York City is a main character in your photos. When planning your wedding day with us, you'll start to see that the visual possibilites are endless. From dawn to dusk, this city has so many romantic views, iconic locations, and moods to offer. When you plan your elopement with us, a team lead by a photographer, you will start to see that we care about telling your story and New York's story in tandem. We know how to wrap your love in what the city has to offer. It's truly magical and it's (mostly) free.

Why Do We Focus On Elopements and Micro-Weddings?

Knowing what makes you you-iest is important to us. Like, really caring for you as humans is important to us. Especially since we're going to be the company you keep on your wedding day.

We root for you, and actively want to encourage you throughout the planning process.

We want to make sure we do the heavy lifting so that planning your wedding is easy on your end.

We want to give you a hell of a good time.

We want to collaborate with you to create wedding days that feel made for you.

We did the big wedding thing... and the small wedding thing.

I found my best friend 15 years ago. And fell in love with him. I've been married to him for almost 12 years. I love the freckles on his cheeks and the way he makes me coffee every morning (decaf espresso with a squeeze of honey).

We had a very "early 2000's" wedding in a barn with almost 300 people attending, burlap table clothes, mason jars and books as centerpieces, and The Wobble was the "it" song at our reception. We served cinnamon rolls instead of cake. We really did love getting to celebrate with everyone we love. But planning it almost wrecked me.

If we were doing it all over again in 2024, I'd be the first to jump on the micro-wedding or elopement train because planning a huge shindig like that was a weight I did not enjoy carrying--I questioned my sanity and I hated the strain it put on my relationship with myself and my family (because family always have certain expectations about what we should be doing or not doing at our weddings am I right?).

We had a vow renewal in 2016 in the sand dunes of West Texas, just the two of us and our photographer, and the intimacy of that moment was so beautiful and sacred I'll never forget it. It made me wish we'd had a small ceremony for our wedding and then thrown a big party for our guests later. Our renewal helped me understand the sacredness and lure of elopements.

So now, it's our pleasure to offer the "elope now, party later" model to you-- Couples who similarly feel the financial burden, family expectations, and logistical nightmare that wedding planning can be. We want to offer you something that you feel excited to invest in and show up for. Something that really gives you the intimacy you crave and the fun you can have in our romantic New York City. We offer elopements that are experiences and we offer micro-wedding services that help you feel supported and allow you to let go and enjoy on The Day Of.
