Candid, documentary Wedding photography for your New York City Wedding

Brooklyn

From intimate City Hall elopements to multi-day celebrations, I provide candid, documentary style coverage that focuses on the heart of the day.

My Approach to Wedding Photography

I approach weddings as a documentarian of the human tapestry—quietly observing the awkward, tender, and wildly alive moments that make a union real. Through vintage Hasselblad and film, I capture not the arranged perfection but the in-between moments. These are the threads that bind—relationships laid bare in their beauty and messiness.

My lens seeks the same divineness Arbus found in ordinary things: the secret about a secret, the raw connection beneath ceremony. I offer art pieces printed by hand in black & white, making the day eternal.

NYC city hall weddings

I had my own City Hall wedding, so I understand the magic. I capture the ceremony, then wander your favorite neighborhoods for couples, family, and friend photos. Simple ceremonies get quick turnaround—usually 1–2 days.
