I am so excited to share the photos from Alexandra and Andrew’s gorgeous wedding this past May. Photographing two people who are so clearly in love is always a joy, but their wedding was extra special; their love and respect for each other were so clear, both in the way they looked at each other and in the vows they wrote and read to each other during the ceremony.

After Alexandra and Andrew’s ceremony and portraits, we joined their guests at their reception venue: the New York City classic French restaurant Le Bilboquet. Since all of the guests had arrived at Le Bilboquet while Alexandra and Andrew and I were shooting their portraits, we were met with such great energy as soon as we walked in.

This year brought so many magical moments including a 12-month old taking her very first steps straight towards the camera, and a bride’s mother booking me as a surprise for her daughter who follows and loves my work. 2019 brought both new and familiar faces in front of my camera, sweet moments and hilarious kid comments, and so much happiness and love.

My most frequently asked photography question is “what should we wear to our family photo shoot?” Here is a compilation of my best suggestions as well as a few photos to help you gather inspiration for your own outfits. If you have anything to add, please chime in in the comments! I would love to hear what has worked for your family in the past.

Megan and Andrew’s proposal story is such a great one. They live in Washington, DC but love to come to New York for weekend trips together. Andrew decided to propose on one of those weekends, right on Gapstow Bridge in Central Park.

I’m not exaggerating when I say that I look forward to putting together this blog post all year long. It’s always so much fun to look back on a year’s worth of photos, and this year especially had so many wonderful moments. I photographed four generations from one family all together.

In December, I photographed Cristen and Russell’s gorgeous black tie wedding at Guastavino’s in New York City. The entire day was so fun and so full of love that I went home that night in the absolute best mood. They really went above and beyond in showing their guests how much they valued having them attend their wedding.

This August, I photographed a beautiful wedding featuring a couple whose how-we-met story is one of the best I’ve heard. Ellie and Sam grew up together in upstate New York and even had a sixth-grade romance before going their separate ways and reuniting as adults. Their families are longtime friends, and because of that bond their wedding featured so many sweet family moments.

2017 was special for so many reasons. In 2017, I photographed a year of portraits documenting a baby girl’s first year. Newborn photos with a seven-day-old who was so little that he still had his umbilical cord attached. The sweetest first birthday parties. A proposal inside gated Gramercy Park on the most perfect spring day. A party in a private box at an Islanders hockey game. A yoga shoot in the snow.

Shooting Maddy and Chris’s photos was extra special because Maddy is a close friend of mine. We studied abroad in Paris together during college, and became fast friends bonding over our shared love of photography. In Paris, we would often schedule photo walks together, where we would wander around for hours, cameras in hand, capturing what we loved and discussing our work afterwards.
