I know I say I love all of my couples immensely. I say it often and emphatically, and while I do say that quite a lot, it’s never a lie. And Kerry and Rob are no exception. From the moment I met them, listened to their story of getting engaged in Massachusetts, learned about their careers, heard about their families, I knew I wanted to spend their entire Hollow Brook Golf Club wedding with them.

From the moment I met Andrea and Anthony, they captured my heart in the most endearing of ways. They are incredibly kind, warm, and laugh easily and heartily. What I remember the most from working with them for their engagement session especially was Andrea’s giggle. She and Anthony are both a joy to spend time with.

Their wedding at Revel 32 (a venue that’s now transitioned over to Keepsake at the Academy) was a darling day.

Katie and Tim are two souls that have my heart completely. From the moment I met them both in person for their engagement session, I knew they were kindred spirits. They are the kindest and most endearing of souls who laugh easily and love heartily. Walking into their West Hills Country Club wedding day, I just knew it was going to be a good day - and I wasn’t wrong.

I have a photographic memory when it comes to the first time I meet my couples. They’re often on Zoom, sitting in their cute living rooms, cuddled up next to each other. And, this is how I met Paula and Andrew; we were across the internet, but immediately felt so connected that Paula teared up when talking about us being able to work together for her Hollow Brook Golf Club wedding.

To know Rita and Noam is to love them. Fully and wholeheartedly. All of my clients are endearing in their own special and unique ways, but the way Rita and Noam flow through life, and subsequently flowed through their Rustic Ridge View Farm wedding day, makes you want to spend as much time with them as humanly possible. They’re funny, warm, gentle, and so kindly complimentary to everyone around them.

Meeting Maggie and Alex in preparation for their Indian Ridge wedding a few years ago was nothing short of a delight. They are two of the funniest, happy-go-lucky people I’ve ever met - easily able to roll with the punches and get the most out of life. 

When I first pulled onto the property of Withy Hollow Flower Farm, I felt like I was transported into a quieter, simpler time. Ducks roamed the property; the air was quiet. A hint of rain hung in the atmosphere, and the flowers softly moved in the summer breeze. It was the perfect setting for Ashley and Marc’s small wedding, surrounded only by the most important and meaningful souls. They celebrated as they wanted to celebrate - simply and easily, with the only overarching emotion being the love between the two of them. No stress. No worries. Just love.

If there’s one word that comes to mind when I reminisce on working with Katherine and Victor for their Hollow Brook Golf Club wedding, it’s the word Comfort. They are comfortable and warm with each other, their family, their friends, and were such a joy for me to photograph on their big day. Everything felt enjoyable and light because all they cared about was getting married to each other.

When Alina and I first connected, she told me that she was envisioning a slightly industrial garden and greenery vibe for her wedding day - and her wedding to Ilya at Brotherhood Winery in July delivered just that. It was a beautifully aesthetic day filled with the same type of vibrant joy that colorful flowers welcome in on a warm summer day.

If I’m being honest,  I think about Sophie and Eric’s Callicoon Hills wedding weekend often, especially when the late days of June turn into the early days of July, as the weather is consistently warmer, and the trees are most lush. Sophie and Eric’s wedding weekend is seared into my mind, and looking back on it feels as nostalgic as looking back on my own milestones feels. There was just something about that weekend, those 72 hours, with the most endearing and wonderful of people that felt like a gift, like I was welcomed and included, like I could have spent another whole week there with these souls. It just all felt GOOD.

Looking back on Stephanie and Brian’s Nostrano Vineyards wedding day for this blog felt like the happiest of memories revisited. It was the wildest of weather days - warm and sunny in the morning, windy and cloudy by midday, and so cold I had to wear my winter coat by the time the reception started - but the different weather only added to how magical this whole day felt, from beginning to end.

Weddings that are a little out-of-the-box are my favorites to photograph, and Jules and Dakota’s wedding at Locust Grove in Poughkeepsie, NY was just that. This location is gorgeous, but is also almost completely DIY, so you can really design your wedding day exactly as you want it to  occur. Jules and Dakota’s wedding day was full of all of the best things - a pup, a pizza truck, their smiles, good friends, precious family. It was a uniquely sweet day for all of the right reasons.

When I became a wedding photographer in the Hudson Valley, I truthfully had no idea how close I was to all of the magic that the Catskills region has to offer for weddings. But, when I did realize it - man, what a dream. It’s no secret that I love the Hudson Valley, but Catskills weddings just feel different in the best way. There is space and open air; guests and couples feel just a little more relaxed; venues are scarce, but backyards are plenty, which is where Lauren and Scott got married on the most adorable June day.

As a seasoned (14+ years, y’all!) photographer in the Hudson Valley, I get to photograph so many wonderful weddings in beautiful locations, and The Garrison is one of those beautiful locations. Tara and Dylan chose to get married here because they love the beauty and simplicity of nature, and the grounds at The Garrison provide exactly that - beauty and simplicity, surrounded by gorgeous greenery.

We were so lucky with the beautiful weather on Tara and Dylan’s wedding day - the sun was shining, the air was warm, and even though it had rained the day before (and we had to strategically avoid some puddles), it didn’t hamper any documentation of their gorgeous day.

It’s no secret that I photograph a lot of weddings at Hollow Brook Golf Club, but it’s not often that I get to photograph weddings there back-to-back; however, on this glorious May weekend, I photographed a wedding there on Saturday, and then Christine and Sinjin’s wedding the following Sunday.

This day was lush, green, fun, relaxed - it was everything that I believe anyone could ever hope for on their wedding day.

I’ve photographed so many weddings at Hollow Brook Golf Club by now, but every single one never ceases to be different and magical in its own way. This venue just seems to call in the most endearing souls, surrounded by the best people. And this is exactly how I felt about Courtney and Steve’s wedding day there - they and their families and friends are just the most endearing and enjoyable people ever.

As a wedding photographer in the Hudson Valley who has photographed hundreds of weddings by now, it is not often that I get to celebrate a marriage twice, on two different days, in two different seasons - but that wasn’t the case with Jenn and Chris, who hosted a ceremony at the Orange County Arboretum in April, and a reception at West Hills Country Club in October. It was the most joyous of joys to be able to spend two different days celebrating with these two souls, who are some of the warmest and cutest people around.

As a wedding photographer who primarily works in the Hudson Valley, it is not often that I get to journey to Albany for a wedding day, but when I do, it’s always a treat. There’s something about the hustle and bustle of Albany that is appealing to me, and I feel like there are so many hidden gems in that city that are often overlooked, especially in the outskirts and actual neighborhoods of Albany.

Bre first reached out to me on Instagram (I love connecting with people there!), and then met via Zoom prior to officially deciding to work together for her sweet Albany microwedding.  Although hers and Luke’s original wedding plans had to be changed due to the pandemic, their eventual December day was such a joy to be a part of.
