New Jersey Wedding Photographer

Your wedding photographs will outlast the flowers, the cake, and the setlist. They’re the one part of your day that quietly grows more meaningful with time. As a New Jersey wedding photographer, I’ve spent the last eighteen years documenting weddings across New Jersey, New York, Newport, and beyond—and the images that matter most are always the ones where you allowed yourself to simply be there.

Not performing. Not perfect. Just present—with each other. Your only job on your wedding day is to feel it as it unfolds. I’ll take care of the rest, gently guiding when needed and stepping back when it matters most, so what you remember feels just as real as it did in the moment.

I photograph weddings along the Jersey Shore, garden celebrations in Monmouth County, romantic Newport estates, and city weddings in Manhattan and Brooklyn. I’m also among the engagement photographers New York couples trust to capture that quiet, in-between season before the wedding day arrives. If you’re imagining something timeless—something your grandchildren will one day hold onto and feel—let’s talk.

Coastal Weddings

One of the perks of living on the east coast is our beautiful coastline.  Here are some faves from the Jersey Shore and Newport RI.

Country Weddings

I love estate weddings.  As a Jane Austen Lover, it puts me right there at Pemberly.  IYKYK.  The scenery is also a bonus!

Engagments

I love getting to know my couples prior to the wedding, and the engagement session allows me to help settle photography jitters before the big day.

Micro Weddings

Some weddings only require minimal coverage... Micro weddings are amazing for smaller wedding with about 50 guests or less.

Town Weddings

Ahh city weddings!  It so much fun being close to both NYC and Philly.  There is nothing like it!

EXIT GALLERY

I'm based in Ocean Grove, NJ and photograph weddings throughout New Jersey — as well as New York and Pennsylvania, Newport, Rhode Island, and other destinations. My bags are always packed and ready to go!

WHERE DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH WEDDINGS?

03.

Most couples book 10–14 months before their wedding date, and popular Jersey Shore and summer dates fill earliest. That said, if you have a date in mind, the best thing to do is reach out — I'll always let you know what's available. A quick conversation can help answer your questions, and get you started with your wedding journey.

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE BOOK?

02.

Yes — and it's one of my favorite parts of the whole process. An engagement session is included in most of my collections because it matters. It gives us a chance to work together before your wedding day so you feel completely at ease in front of the camera when it counts. By the time we're on the wedding day, you'll feel like you've done this before. Because you have.

FAQ

Think vacation mindset. You show up. I take care of everything else — the lighting, the timing, the family portrait logistics, all of it. I've been doing this long enough to anticipate every moment before it happens. Your only job on your wedding day is to be completely present with each other. I'll handle the rest.

WHAT DOES THE WEDDING DAY EXPERIENCE FEEL LIKE?

04.

I think it's because I genuinely care about the people I photograph — not just the images. I approach every wedding like a friend who happens to have a camera. I want to know you before your wedding day. And the couples I work with best are those who want photographs that feel timeless — not staged, not generic, but completely and beautifully theirs.

WHY DO COUPLES CHOOSE YOU?

07.

Usually, yes. Working with a second shooter allows me to be in two places at once to get different perspectives and different angles, and it makes the overall day much more artistic. For larger weddings we can even add an additional photographer to give even more coverage. 

DO YOU WORK ALONE OR WITH A SECOND SHOOTER?

06.

Within 24 hours of your wedding, you'll have a sneak peek in your inbox — because I know the anticipation is real. Your full, beautifully edited gallery arrives six to eight weeks after your wedding day. Every image is delivered in an online gallery you can share, download, and print from directly.

WHEN WILL WE RECEIVE OUR PHOTOS?

05.

INQUIRE

Absolutely! As a trained graphic designer, I absolutely love to offer bespoke products to my clients. To me, offering only digital files does not fully help to provide a service to my clients. Clients deserve heirloom-quality, legacy products that they can hand down for generations as a statement of a special moment in time
