— a wedding photographer based in New York City covering the New York Tri-State area. I like to summarize my approach to photography as photojournalism, with an eye for the moments worth directing.

I spend a wedding day split between watching and anticipating sprinkled in with a bit of directing — catching the look on your dad's face right as he sees you for the first time in your dress, the joke between bridesmaids that only they'll ever really get. Those moments can't be staged, so I don't try to. I just make sure I'm close enough to catch them and quiet enough that you forget I'm there.

But I don't believe every great photo happens by accident. There are moments in every wedding that deserve a little direction. That's where the other half of what I do comes in: portraits built with intention, dramatic light, a real sense of composition. Not stiff, not overly posed — just elevated. The kind of image you'll want to print large and frame.

After 8 years shooting over 220 weddings, I’ve learned to move between those two modes without either one feeling like an interruption. Experience allows me to quickly read a room and know when to take control of the timeline or when to step back completely and capture the moment live as it happens.

And here are a few pictures of my girls, just because I think they’re cute. They’re a little older now but they’re the reason I started photography - to document and preserve all the moments of their lives growing up.
