Experience
We believe in embracing PERFECTLY IMPERFECT moments, where a bit of chaos or change only adds to the story. Our focus is on capturing authentic, real-life moments, not staged or artificial scenes.
I focus on capturing real moments and genuine connections, whether it’s a couple’s love language or how you interact with your family & friends. My style is natural and organic, not forced or posed—perfectly staged photos just aren’t my thing. I work with couples who value intention over tradition and trust me to document their story as it unfolds. As a hopeless romantic, I love couples who make time for portraits instead of rushing to the party. With experience in both intimate and large weddings, I know how important it is to choose a photographer who keeps the day fun and effortless.
Hudson Valley & Catskills Wedding Photographer
our
approach
You've signed the contract, and we’re officially booked—hurray! We can’t wait to get to know you and discover your love story. It’s an honor to document this part of your journey. If you've booked us for photography, we’ll now start planning your engagement session, helping you feel comfortable in front of the camera while sharing plenty of laughs!
Step by step, here's what to expect...
1. Connection
Even though we’re your photographer and/or videographer, we’ve been through this ourselves (we just celebrated 25 years of marriage) and this is our full-time career. With that experience, we’re here to help with anything—suggestions, referrals, or even a drink! We want your experience to be stress-free and will guide you with the perfect timeline for your day. Reach out anytime—we’ve got your back!
2. Support
It’s wedding day! We’ve been excited for this moment, and now it’s here. We’re here to guide you, keep things running smoothly, and make sure everyone works together as a team. Even if things don’t go exactly as planned, we’ll be there to keep the celebrations going—because at the end of the day, you’ll still be married no matter what!
3. Love
Your wedding day is done! After the cake, dancing, and packing away your dress, it’s time to see your photos and films. Within 48 hours, you’ll receive a sneak peek gallery to share on social media. Photo turnaround takes 4-6 weeks, and your final film package takes 3-4 months. If you’ve ordered an album, we’ll design the layout for your approval. The lab delivers in about a week once it’s submitted. We encourage you to select your favorite images within three months to get your album as soon as possible!
4. Memories!
If your wedding is over a year out when booking with us, we offer 3-5 payment installments based on what works best for you. If your wedding is less than a year out when booking with us, we require half the payment upon signing and the second half is due one week prior to your wedding date. If you need to cancel your wedding, we can't refund any money until we are able to rebook your date.
Yes to both. We are fully insured for your protection as well as ours. We are very close with many well qualified photographers and filmmakers that we can confidently reach out to in case of an emergency.

Online photo galleries and digital files are typically ready within 4-6 weeks of the wedding date and about 1 week for portraits (depending on season and our current work load). Feature films are typically ready within 3-4 months of the wedding date. Upon final approval of album designs most are delivered within 2 weeks. We give every effort to exceed these expectations and deliver sooner.
Yes! We have a few collections we've put together, but we definitely prefer your feedback as to what you want included so we ensure you get everything you want. But if you are looking for us to travel or have planned an elopement, we are happy to customize something that works better for your day or weekend if you wanted us to document more than one day of your wedding celebration.
Fantastic! If you are booking a wedding collection, we require a signed contract and a retainer fee. The remaining balance is due one week prior to your wedding date. We offer payment plans for weddings. If you are booking a portrait collection, we require a signed contract and the entire fee at booking.

Real Couples, Real Moments Across the Catskills & Hudson Valley
Successful wedding documentation thrives on open communication, and as both photographer and filmmaker from the same studio—and the same household—your wedding becomes part of our daily conversations. With our experience working together, we’ve developed a natural rhythm, enhancing each other's strengths without overstepping boundaries. Our unspoken understanding, built through years of partnership, allows us to seamlessly capture your day.
Our visual style, work ethic and sense of teamwork are symbiotic and seamless, resulting in the consistency you deserve when the excitement settles from your day. As your team we align our priorities with yours and we share the incentive to create the best possible COMBINED imagery you and your family will treasure for the duration of your married lives together.
Using the same company for both photography and film will also save you time in the booking process. We arrange a personal consultation which addresses both photo + film and issue one contract to sign. We are all on the same page at all times, which makes your planning schedule so much less stressful. By having both of us seeing the exact same information, this eliminates any worry of crossed communication between separate studios.
Even though we have such a close natural relationship, each of us provide a unique viewpoint of your day – photos focusing on freezing moments of the day appealing to your visual senses, while the films draw out the words and expressions, putting the viewer through a heartfelt journey through audio and carefully crafted cinematic sequences.
