Your Wedding Story Matters
One day, this special time in your lives will be long past. Memories will start to fade. What do you want to hold on to most?

How Do We Tell It?
Mostly CANDID coverage
As a trained photojournalist, I am skilled in capturing and anticipating real moments. However, I will direct portraits as needed so you'll find the good light.
A CUSTOM PLAN
From City Hall to Central Park, the Rainbow Room, and charming West Village spots, so many perfect NYC backdrops. How to choose? We'll chat and I'll plan.
CLASSIC POSING AND EDITING STYLE
My style is deeply rooted in a passion for the timeless elegance of black and white film and true to life color. Posing is kept natural and movement and activity is encouraged.
Meet Kristy
The images I cherish most from my own wedding are of the guests. They are "boring" to anyone else, but they are my treasures. And genuine candid moments of joy my photographer captured of me! Such a gift.
I want to give my couples those gifts too.

"We are delighted with our photos, you did a fantastic job. I am certain no one could have done it any better."
Photographs are meant to be seen and shared. There is nothing like holding a beautifully crafted album in your hands.
My interest in weddings began the moment I first flipped through my parents' wedding album. While the professional photos were beautiful, it was the collection of candid shots taken by my great uncle that truly captivated me. Seeing my grandparents—especially in their younger years, unposed and in their natural element—felt like stepping back in time. Those authentic, unscripted moments left a lasting impression on me, sparking my passion for capturing real emotions and stories through photography.

New York City Elopements
I’m known for my punctuality and attention to detail, handling all the logistics so you can enjoy a seamless, stress-free experience.
Imagine a day filled with all the things and places you love about New York City—whether it’s just the two of you or with a small group of your closest VIPs. Your elopement can be as luxurious as you desire, from an elegant dinner at Per Se to a casual bite at your favorite local pizza joint. Eloping allows you to leave behind the stress of a large gathering, the pressure of being the center of attention, and the traditions you’d rather skip. It’s about creating a day that’s uniquely yours, tailored to your love story and the moments that matter most.
"She brought out the best in us even though we're not really the type of people that are comfortable in front of a camera."
Kristy helped streamline our path through the park and locations afterwards to make the most of every moment, and offered suggestions to enhance our shoot with her extensive wedding photography experience.
She was super professional, fantastic photos, and a joy to spend time with on such a spectacular day - sweet, easygoing, and thoughtful. She made the day a smooth and super enjoyable ride that we will never forget!
"We had the best elopement ever thanks to Kristy May!"
We felt comfortable instantly and all the photos reflect my fiancé and I so perfectly. We would recommend Kristy to anyone! We honestly stare at the photos everyday because we are still in disbelief by how beautiful they came out. She’s a rockstar!
"We were blown away by the entire experience!"
It was so wonderful to have you at the wedding and the pictures were truly fantastic. You have such a talent for capturing the feeling of the event- you record the details and moments that make it all come alive again every time we review the pictures!
"It is seeing those details and moments at the time that sets you apart."
