  • DO YOU GIVE RAW UNEDITED IMAGES?
    No, as I believe that editing is a big part of the magic that enhances images. Unedited raw images are only halfway to their full potential. I assure you that I won't leave out any photos you may want or need. However, if you feel there's a missing photo, just let me know, and I'll be more than happy to review my collection and provide it. I won't let you miss out on preserving your precious memories!
  • HOW MANY IMAGES DO YOU INCLUDE?
    The number of images delivered varies with each package, but rest assured, I always include plenty of photos covering every moment I capture. I don’t have a cutoff number because I don’t believe in withholding any images from you to get to pay more like some photographers do. These are your memories, and I'm dedicated to capturing them fully, providing you with more than enough images to cherish this special time in your lives.
  • WHAT IF WE NEED TO CANCEL/RESCHEDULE OUR SHOOT OR WEDDING?
    If you've already put down a deposit for a specific date but need to reschedule or cancel, please note that the deposit is legally non-refundable. To secure your new date, if I'm available, a new deposit will be required.
  • HOW DOES COVERING TRAVEL EXPENSES WORK?
    Rest assured, my travel fees are already included in all my packages, so there won't be any unexpected or additional costs for you to worry about.
  • HOW MANY WEDDINGS DO YOU TAKE PER YEAR?
    The number of weddings I take on varies annually, and this year, I'm limiting it to 10. My goal is to provide the best possible experience and photos for each couple without overextending myself. Quality, not quantity, is my focus. It's not about the money; I'm committed to serving you. For reference, I used to handle a staggering 120+ events / reportages per year.
  • HOW DO PAYMENT SCHEDULES WORK?
    To secure your spot on my calendar, I require a 50% retainer. The remaining 50% is due 3 months in advance for weddings and 2 months in advance for photo sessions. If it helps, you can split these payments into up to 3 installments, making it more manageable. I'm flexible and happy to work with your schedule!
  • DO YOU HELP IN THE PLANNING PROCESS?
    Absolutely! Let me know how I can assist you. Whether it's offering recommendations or making the process smoother for you, I'm here to help.
  • DO YOU OFFER DESTINATION WEDDING COVERAGE?
    Yes, I love traveling and capturing love stories in different locations - I’ve been in over 30 countries! If you're planning a destination wedding or elopement, I'm more than happy to discuss the details and create a custom package for your special day.
  • CAN WE PROVIDE A LIST OF SPECIFIC SHOTS WE WANT?
    Of course! While wedding galleries are mostly a reportage of the event, I’m more than happy to accommodate specific shot requests. Before the shoot or wedding, feel free to share any ideas or must-have shots, and I'll do my best to capture them.
  • CAN YOU PHOTOSHOP US?
    I prefer not to alter your appearance unless it involves temporary issues like skin blemishes, bruises, scrapes, or acne (unless you’d like me to keep it the photos). If there's something specific you're self-conscious about, please let me know, and I'll be extra attentive while posing you.
  • WHERE ARE YOU BASED OUT OF? DO COUPLES EVER TRAVEL TO YOU FOR SHOOTS?
    New York City! While I'm here, you're more than welcome to travel to me for your photo sessions. Many couples choose to do so, combining their shoot with a little trip. New York State offers a plethora of incredible locations, from urban landscapes to scenic parks, mountains, waterfalls, and forests. If you need ideas for places to explore or capture your photos, feel free to ask!
  • WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU CAN’T MAKE IT TO OUR WEDDING?
    This would only happen if it was out something of my control (act of god, illness, death, etc). In such cases, I will do my utmost to find a replacement photographer with a similar style whom I trust who you can coordinate this with. However, please understand that I'm not obligated to do so. If I can't make it to your wedding, your payment will be refunded.
  • WHAT IF THERE’S BAD WEATHER?
    I encourage embracing whatever weather comes our way, as it often adds beauty and uniqueness to the photos. However, if the weather is harsh enough to make the shoot unpleasant or risk damaging my equipment, we can reschedule to ensure a better experience.
  • WHAT IS YOUR TURNAROUND TIME?
    As I take on a limited number of assignments, my turnaround time is faster than most photographers. The duration depends on the extent of the shoot, my travel schedule, and any holidays in between. Typically, for photo sessions, it takes 1 week or less, while weddings take 3 weeks or less. I strive to deliver the images as promptly as possible while ensuring each photo receives the attention it deserves.
  • WHAT DO WE WEAR FOR PHOTOS?
    Don't worry—I've got you covered with a guide on what to wear! I'll send it over to help you prepare for the shoot.
  • HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A PHOTOGRAPHER?
    15 years! I started shooting at 15 years old. Woah, that’s literally half of my life.
  • CAN WE MEET BEFORE BOOKING TO DISCUSS OUR VISION?
    Absolutely! I encourage an initial consultation to get to know each other, discuss your vision, and see if we're a good fit. Whether it's in person or through a video call, I'm happy to connect with you and answer any questions you may have.
  • DO YOU OFFER DISCOUNTS?
    I am open to hear your story and needs, so always feel free to reach out!
  • Break The Rules
    I'm all for celebrating love your way—breaking traditions and embracing the uniqueness of your journey. It pains me to hear couples regretting not having a more intimate wedding, wishing they had eloped, or, “we actually don’t even like cake” as they’re about to cut their wedding cake. Your wedding should be a reflection of your love story, not constrained by conventions. Wanna get married at a music festival? Hell yeah. Or maybe go backpacking through the desert for the weekend and exchange vows on the edge of a cliff? Wear a black wedding dress and a green suit? Maybe go bar hopping with your friends and family through a foreign country before the big day? Skip out on all the pressures of a wedding and elope with your best friends? Whatever it is that would make your day feel like your own, I’m a full-on supporter, and am here to help you every step of the way. I'm here to be your unwavering supporter, guiding you through every step of this joyful experience. I'll capture it in a way that brings back all those heartwarming emotions for years to come. I want these photos to be meaningful, reflecting your truth and the deep love you share right now. Let's create a visual love story that speaks volumes about your unique connection—because, in the end, that's what truly matters.
  • Invest in Memories
    I know your wedding planning checklist is as long as Rapunzel's hair—centerpieces, seating arrangements, bridesmaid dresses, and a whole lot of florals. But guess what? While all those things are important, there's one thing that lasts past your wedding day: photography! Seriously, your wedding photos are the time capsules of your big day, capturing all the love, joy, and crazy dance moves that'll last way beyond the wedding cake crumbs. Photos, my friends, are like fine wine—they get better with time, becoming cherished heirlooms passed down through generations. If you’re shopping around trying to find the cheapest deal, this is not that. And that’s okay, because you deserve to have a photographer that will fit all of your wants and needs— including your budget. I’m passionate about capturing the moments, the emotions, and the unfiltered, authentic magic of couples who believe in the value of meaningful, heartfelt images that'll make your heart skip a beat even after decades of love and laughter.
  • Love is Love
    I aim to hold space for every individual who connects with my work, and to me, it is an honor to create an inclusive and safe space for LGBTQ+ individuals and couples. So, let's dance to your unique beat, where every human finds their space to shine. Love knows no labels!
  • Limited Availability
    Here's the deal: I'm not a wedding factory churning out 70+ events a year—been there, done that, and it was not fun. Picture me, creatively drained, mentally exhausted, and barely holding it together. No more of that: I've found the recipe for awesomeness. I only take on a select few weddings and elopements each year, along with a handful of sessions per month. Why? Because you deserve nothing short of my A-game. Quick turnaround times, creative magic, and loads of fun—that's what you'll get from me, all thanks to my genius schedule hack! So get ready for an adventure where the spotlight is on you.
  • True to You
    In my shoots, authentic moments take center stage. I believe in capturing genuine emotions without any forced poses or cheesy clichés. There won't be any staged or awkward half-smiles; we'll embrace the real, unscripted beauty of your story. Together, we'll create an experience that goes beyond merely standing in front of a picturesque sunset. I'm not here to be a distant observer, snapping shots from the sidelines. Instead, we'll embark on a journey of true connection, where your love shines through naturally, creating images that hold the essence of who you truly are. If you seek genuine, heartfelt memories that reflect the true spirit of your wedding day, then we're a perfect match.
  • Unique Chronicles
    I don’t stick to one specific style, because every story is so different. I make sure that the way I’m interacting, shooting, and editing is reflective of who the subject is and how things actually felt. No cookie-cutter shots here! I put my heart and soul into every interaction, every shot, and every edit, making sure it's a reflection of your genuine selves. It's the little details that count, and trust me, they go a long way in creating a visual tale that you'll cherish forever. These memories are yours to keep, and I'm here to create something extraordinary together, something that'll make your heart skip a beat every time you look back. Quality over quantity, always, because your love story deserves nothing less!
  • Connection & Trust
    In this space, connection and trust flourish, giving rise to beautiful moments that defy conventions. Here, we're more than just a vendor and a client; we're sharing a genuine bond. Let's embark on a collaborative journey, where we focus on capturing the essence of your love, rather than just going through the motions. My utmost priority is ensuring you have an enjoyable experience, free from awkwardness or discomfort. Most people arrive feeling uncertain and camera-shy, but they leave raving about the ease and joy of our time together. Photography doesn't have to be nerve-wracking; instead, it's an opportunity to cherish meaningful moments and create lasting memories. With me, you're not just getting a photographer; you're gaining a friend who will make sure you have a truly amazing time throughout our adventure together.
