The opportunity to capture any couple’s wedding is always an honor, but when you are asked by a friend it is truly special.

Rachel and Chad were married at The Dayton Art Institute, a beautiful venue perfect for the union of two people working in the arts! Their wedding was filled with romantic autumn details, a visit by their beloved dog Emmy, plus family and friends who traveled near and far to dance the night away in celebration of their Chicago love story.

Congratulations you two! I am grateful to have been a part of your day.

Ben + Tyler // New York City

Ben and Tyler were married in a glorious music filled ceremony in St. James' Church in Manhattan. This was my second time photographing at St. James', and it was wonderful returning to a joyful, welcoming community who celebrated the love of Ben and Tyler with some of the most beautiful choral music I have ever heard. After the ceremony, the wedding party and guests headed to the Dumbo Spot in Brooklyn for the reception, but not before popping some bubbly on the subway platform! Ben and Tyler, thank you! I am grateful to have been a part of your day. 

Thank you to the wedding team that made Ben and Tyler's day happen!

Ali + Ian // Williamsburg, MA

As a wedding photographer, I love being able to capture such an important milestone in a couple's story. What made Ali and Ian's day so special was not just the outpouring of love and joy for their next chapter, but the fact that I was there when their story began. I met Ali and Ian at The Glimmerglass Festival, where I have been the festival staff photographer since 2010. Ali and I, who happened to be housed next door to each other, bonded over many things (one of which was cameras) and when I met Ian, I knew immediately there was a connection between them that would only grow. The way they support each other, laugh together and thrive in their careers is wonderful to witness, and their wedding day celebrated just that and more. Congratulations my dear friends! 

Thank you to the wedding team that helped make Ali and Ian's day happen!

Sarah + Eric // Westmount Country Club

As winter approaches, it's a joy to look back at images from Sarah and Eric's vibrant fall wedding celebration. With bright autumn flowers, an elegant church ceremony, and gorgeous reception at the Westmount Country Club, guests danced the night away to the sounds of The Warren Daniels Band. In fact, the whole day was filled with marvelous music! After all, Sarah and Eric did meet on the National Tour of Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein the musical.

Congratulations to this talented, dynamic duo. Thank you for asking me to capture your love, from engagement to wedding day!

Amanda + Matt // Spillian

The leaves were golden and the air was crisp when Amanda and Matt were married at Spillian, a private lodge tucked away in the Catskills region of Upstate New York. The warm and inviting estate, filled with beautifully kept antiques, was the perfect location to celebrate the union of this kind and authentic couple.

Gorgeous jazz music, hand picked bottle vases, vibrant floral arrangements, and delicious Mexican cuisine were some of the unique elements, which created a truly special day. Guests were invited to stay the weekend, filling the wrap around porch of Spillian with laughter and loved ones. What a wonderful way to celebrate a life together!

Congratulations, you two. I am grateful to have been a part of your day. 

Thank you to the entire wedding team!
