Back where it began.
New York is where I first photographed couples. I grew up in New Jersey and now live in Los Angeles, with trips back east every few months for family and photography. Whether you're planning a proposal in the city, engagement photos in Jersey, or your wedding day, I'd love to hear what you have in mind.
Tell me what you’re planningThese are my New Jersey and NYC prices. The pages linked below show my Los Angeles collections.
Starting at $4,200
My New York wedding work includes Michele and Jin's waterfront portraits in Long Island City and celebrations at The Garrison in the Hudson Valley. If you're getting married in New York or New Jersey, tell me about your venue, your date, and what you want to remember. We can start there and talk through the coverage that fits your plans.

My engagement work has taken me through Central Park, along the Queens waterfront, and out onto the city streets. Your session might begin with a place you already love or somewhere you've been imagining for your photographs. Tell me what you're drawn to, whether that's a New Jersey location or an afternoon in New York, and which dates you're considering.

A proposal has a date and a place in mind, even if the details are still coming together. I've photographed proposals in Central Park and Gantry Plaza State Park, and I'd love to hear what you're planning. Reach out early so I can check whether I'll be in New York for your date.

If you're planning a smaller celebration, share your location, guest count, and date in your inquiry. Tell me how you imagine spending the day and which parts you'd like photographed. We can talk about your plans before you decide what coverage you need.

Inquire about your dateCentral Park proposals and engagements, wedding portraits along the Long Island City waterfront, editorial bridal photographs in Brooklyn, and wedding days in the Hudson Valley. These are a few of the places and celebrations I've photographed on my trips back east.
Go as early as you can. Even on weekdays, there's a good chance another couple will be there for engagement photos or a proposal, so an early start gives us the most room to work.
The waterfront stretches a long way, and that's what I like about photographing here. If you keep walking, you can find little pockets to work with instead of staying in one busy spot. The Pepsi-Cola sign is here too. It's worth exploring the strip before deciding exactly where you'd like your photos.
DUMBO draws plenty of visitors, and you'll often see proposals and engagement sessions happening around you. There are still quieter spots past where everyone gathers, so I like to look around a little before a session.
The Garrison is upstate, outside the city, and it's a beautiful venue for fall foliage. The wedding I photographed there was toward the end of the season, and the foliage still looked gorgeous. If you're coming from New York City, plan your transportation to the venue ahead of time. I'd consider renting a car so you have your own way there and back.

I'm back and forth between Los Angeles and New York, so the first step is to fill out my inquiry form. Include your location and the date or dates you're considering. If you have flexibility, tell me that too, so I know what dates we can discuss.
You can also check my Instagram or message me to ask when I'll be in New York. For mini sessions, please start with the inquiry form. Since I'm not always in New York, we'll confirm availability before making any plans.
Ask about your dateYes. I grew up in New Jersey and photograph couples there as well as in New York City. Engagement sessions are $600 for one hour or $850 for two hours, and weddings start at $4,200 in both places. Send your location and date through the inquiry form to check availability.
Yes. New York proposals are $650, including hidden coverage followed by 30 minutes of portraits, 50–75+ edited images and same-day sneak peeks. I've photographed proposals in Central Park and Gantry Plaza State Park. Start with an inquiry so I can check your date before we plan the photography.
Fill out my inquiry form with the dates you're considering. You can also check Instagram or message me about my trips. I'm based in Los Angeles and return east regularly, so availability depends on my schedule.
Yes, please use the inquiry form to ask. Include where you'd like to have your session and your dates so we can start by checking whether they line up with a trip.
I'd go as early as possible. Weekdays can still be busy with other couples taking photos, so I wouldn't assume a weekday session means an empty park.
