The work

What a wedding day with me looks like.

I photograph weddings across Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey, from a home base in Weston, Connecticut. A wedding is the one day everyone you love is in the same room, so I photograph the room as much as the two of you: the friends who flew in, the table that won’t stop laughing, your grandmother out on the dance floor. The rest follows from that.

Most of a wedding day is candid. I let it unfold and photograph it unfolding. Portraits are the exception, and they should be. For those I’ll find the light, put you in it, and give you clear, unhurried direction, so what you get is composed and still looks like you. Then you go back to your party.

Coverage is only part of what you’re booking. From the day you sign, we build the timeline together so there is room to breathe between the photographs. On the day itself I work to that plan and spend most of it out of your way. Afterwards I edit every frame myself. Nothing is outsourced and nothing is rushed.

I’m fully insured, and I’m happy to send a certificate straight to your venue if they ask for one.

Coverage: Collections run up to ten or twelve hours, with a second photographer included on Heirloom and Legacy. Intimate weddings and elopements start at two.
Your gallery: Around 1,500 high-resolution photographs, unwatermarked and yours to print, delivered in about twelve weeks. Sneak peeks come sooner.
Planning: Timeline support from the day you book, either with you or alongside your planner, plus vendor recommendations and a rain plan made before you need it.
Where I work: Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey, and anywhere else your day takes you.

A short list from a much longer one. If yours isn’t on it, all the better. I love a place I’ve never photographed.

“If I could redo the entire day all over again, she would definitely be the first vendor I would rebook.”
