With a background in photojournalism and a passion for architecture, I specialize in upscale city weddings and elopements.
My couples appreciate design and classic black-and-white photography, which I deliver through custom planning and a refined approach to urban landscape and portraiture.

What Sets Me Apart
Empathy and Being Present
Every couple deserves their best day ever. I struggled to stay present on my own wedding day due to some planning missteps. I want to help my couples avoid that, so they can truly savor every moment.
Love of NYC’s unique landscape
With years of study, travel, and ongoing exposure to art and design, I bring a trained eye to every detail of my wedding photography.
Degrees in photography and art
In 2007, I began exploring my Greenpoint neighborhood—and I haven’t stopped since. The diversity and architecture of NYC are truly incredible, if you take the time to notice.

Why Weddings?
When I received my first real camera as a gift for my 15th birthday, I immediately began photographing the people I loved most—my family. That passion has stayed with me, and as I grow older, I’ve come to cherish how precious and fleeting these moments together truly are.
Weddings and elopements bring together the people who matter most. Dressed up, enjoying the moment, and fully present on a day that’s unforgettable. It’s the perfect opportunity for a skilled, unobtrusive photographer to capture the art of these relationships.
Creating meaningful images for my clients is both an honor and a calling. I can think of no better way to channel my love of photography than by preserving these precious memories for a lifetime.
Before transitioning to full-time wedding photography in 2010, I honed my craft in photojournalism and fine art photography. Since high school, I’ve worked for various newspapers and magazines, including as a staff photographer for The Courier in Houma, Louisiana, and freelanced for the Associated Press in Berlin, Germany, through a Fulbright Young Journalist Grant.
I began my journey with film while earning my Bachelor’s in Studio Art at Loyola University New Orleans. Later, I seized the opportunity to pursue a Master’s in Digital Photography as part of the inaugural class at The School of Visual Arts in NYC. My thesis project, documenting the evolving urban landscape of North Brooklyn, has been widely published and remains an ongoing project.
Hurricane Katrina forever changed my hometown of New Orleans in 2005. Since then, I’ve lived in the NYC area with my husband, daughter, and our two rescue cats, Harry and Daisy.
