From the grounds of their family estate, to the jump into the lake, G & A showed me the most fun parts of their love story. I had the best time photographing their engagement session in Bolton Landing and can’t wait to be back here next October! Don’t miss the last photo to see how our session ended!

The gallery of this sweet micro-wedding was delivered yesterday and I couldn’t help but smile when thinking of K & S. Two souls who are so deeply in love. Their day was such a joy to photograph. I am continually grateful for people such as them and their family, who trust me to document their best moments.

A boat ride AND a dalmation puppy in the same session? Yes, please! This sweet Bolton Landing engagement session filled my cup in more ways than one. Celebrating Gabby and Anthony’s wedding next year is going to be a highlight for me!

B + E in Brooklyn. The absolute best way to spend a morning. These two brought the vibe, and documenting their engagement was such a treat. Looking forward to their wedding next year!

The beauty of a new little life ✨

I’m always honored to document this joyous moment in a couple’s life. And even more so when the client is someone I consider a second daughter. Watching Kayla navigate impending motherhood has been incredibly special.

Emily and Ryan's engagement session at the historic Vanderbilt mansion was full of love, and lots of laughs. I'm privileged to have a front row seat to witness this couple's relationship. I've watched it grow from young love into a mature and strong partnership. And I'm so excited to photograph their wedding next year!

Maura and Eric’s wedding on Saturday at was full of so much emotion. From getting ready, to the sweet first look, to the beautiful vows, the tears and love flowed like an unstoppable force. It was contagious and every single person felt the magic.

And speaking of magic: there’s no sunset like a Finger Lakes sunset. See the last two photos to see how lucky we got!
