Wedding Photography
Moments Thoughtfully Framed
Weddings move fast—full of emotion, energy, and fleeting moments. As a photographer, I take a natural, documentary-style approach—letting the day unfold without forcing anything. I’ll step in with simple direction when it helps bring out the beauty of a scene or to make sure you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Aside from a bit of light posing for immediate family portraits, most of what I capture is unscripted, honest, and true to how the day really felt.
With a background in wedding filmmaking, I bring a unique awareness to photography. I understand the rhythm of the day not just visually, but emotionally. I also know what it takes to work with videographers, not around them—a detail many photographers overlook. That means smoother collaboration, thoughtful timing, and a shared goal: honoring your story with care.
My approach stays pretty simple: I focus on capturing things as they naturally unfold. I’ll give a bit of direction when it’s helpful, but for the most part, I try to keep things relaxed and real.
If you’re drawn to a more thoughtful, understated way of capturing your wedding—where the imagery reflects both the big and quiet moments—this offering was made with you in mind.
Add-On(s)
-
A wedding with split locations, condensed timelines, or expansive guest coverage often benefit from a second photographer.
For cultural or religious weddings, please do consider hiring additional photographer. Not only there are times couple gets ready in different locations, a lot of proceedings occur at the same time. Having more photographers would cover more ground. -
The quiet night before the big one—toasts, laughter, and the people who've known you longest, all in one room. Documented candidly, with the same eye for real emotion as your wedding day, so the celebration doesn't start and end at the altar.
-
A relaxed, unhurried session to capture who you are together before the big day. A blend of candid documentary and gently guided moments—natural, personal, and timeless.
-
A physical place for your day to live beyond the screen. Each album is thoughtfully designed and sequenced—not just a printed gallery, but a story with pacing, rhythm, and weight in your hands. Built to be opened again and again, for decades to come.
Delivery
After your wedding day, here's what happens: I go through everything I shot and hand-edit the best images to tell the story of your day — the emotional interactions, in-between moments, and details that made it your day, not a staged version of it.
Sneak Peek — Within 7 business days, you'll get a small preview set of 100 images so you don't have to wait for the full gallery to relive a few moments or share something right away.
Full Gallery — Your complete, hand-edited online gallery is delivered within two months. This includes minimum 1000 final images, ready to view, download, and share — no watermarks, no restrictions.
City Hall Wedding Photography
Just The Two Of You
This package is built for city hall weddings — no big production, no long timeline, just the two of you (and maybe a few close people) getting married and having someone there to capture it honestly. This is for couples who want to keep things simple but still want their time together documented.
From the time we meet at your chosen city hall, the ceremony itself usually takes about two hours from start to finish. While documenting you in a documentary approach, I set up a small video camera and audio recorder to film your ceremony — this is included as a complimentary part of the package. After the ceremony, we head nearby for a portrait session (1 hour coverage).
Many couples also plan a reception afterward where loved ones join to celebrate at a reception, if there is. If you'd like me there for that part too, I offer an add-on to cover those moments — speeches, first dance, all of it.
I love small weddings like this, where couples actually have time to enjoy their day instead of rushing through it. Because of that, I also offer an add-on to start coverage from getting-ready. This isn't mandatory, but it's one of my favorite things to document — it's a quiet, personal moment where each of you is going through your own version of the morning before it all comes together. If that's something you want, I offer a package deal so it's a better value than adding it on piece by piece.
Add-On(s)
-
A relaxed, unhurried session to capture who you are together before the big day. A blend of candid documentary and gently guided moments—natural, personal, and timeless.
-
Most clients book their city hall appointment in the afternoon, which means this session usually starts in the morning or around noon — well before the ceremony itself. I come document that quiet block of time before everything else begins: getting dressed, final touches, that mix of nerves and excitement before you head to city hall. If you want your day documented from the very start, this is where it begins.
-
Once portraits are done, most couples take a break to rest before the reception, where speeches and celebration happen with closer friends and family. I come back for this part to cover it all. Depending on the size of the venue, a full group photo isn't always possible, but I always make sure to get immediate family photos taken care of, along with candid coverage of speeches and the celebration itself.
-
Some couples want more time than the base package covers — whether that's an outfit change during the portrait session or wanting extended coverage during the reception. If that sounds like you, additional hours can be added in hourly increments. To make sure I can accommodate this, additional hours should be booked in advance, based on availability, rather than requested last-minute on the day.

Wedding
Filmmaking
Honest Storytelling
Captured With Heart
Weddings deserve to be remembered in motion, yet many couples are priced out of video altogether. That’s why I created The Wedding Filmmaker Service—a cost-conscious yet meaningful option for those who still want a timeless, story-driven film of their day.
As a solo filmmaker, I take a documentary-style approach: no staging, no big crews—just honest, unobtrusive coverage that lets the day unfold naturally. I use two cameras and professional audio to stay present while capturing key moments with care and depth.
Of course, working alone has its limitations—I can’t be everywhere at once. But what I bring is focus, intuition, and a deep respect for storytelling. I look for the quiet, overlooked moments—the ones that carry the most meaning when everything is said and done.
If you value authenticity over perfection and emotional truth over spectacle, this service is for you. My goal is simple: to give you a wedding film you’ll return to—not because it’s polished, but because it’s real.
Add-On(s)
-
Every word. Every dance. Every Moment. With all the angles and lightings.
This add-on includes an assistant who will be in charge of handling extra video devices, audio devices and lighting. This enables me to dedicate filming what is happening around the couple. So, nothing will be missed.This add-on is ideal for couples who desires to capture most important moments overcoming time and logistic constraints that might occur.
-
For weddings with multiple locations, tight timelines, or simply more story to tell, hiring an extra filmmaker certainly adds a value.
Moreover, multiple filmmakers will be responsible of certain visual roles. In a single moment of portrait sessions, I will have various shots from a same scene - this can be such a huge plus for editing.
Also, there are cases where two or three agendas might simultaneously happen at the same time. Having a extra filmmaker would definitely add value to this problem. -

Wedding Documentarist - Simply Essentials
There are times when my clients don't need complete coverage of everything I offer. Sometimes they simply want their most important moments captured on a single camera and woven into one memorable highlight. For that, I offer a lighter film option — a single filmmaker capturing the key moments of your wedding day, with natural, ambient sound, and turning them into a highlight film you'll look back on for years to come.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Unfortunately, no — though it's definitely something I'd like to accomplish someday. For now, my wedding photography and filmmaking services are booked separately. Each craft gets my full attention, and I don't subcontract either service out.
If you're drawn to my films, I can recommend photographers I trust, though I won't manage their workflow — they run their own style. If you'd like me for photography, I'm happy to collaborate with your chosen videographer directly on the day.
Bundled pricing and discounts are available within photography — wedding day coverage, engagement session, rehearsal dinner, and album can be booked together as one collection.
-
We aim to deliver your photo and video edits within two months. During busier seasons, an extra month may be added — every wedding is unique, and that can occasionally affect the timeline. To tide you over, a sneak peek photos and teaser reel (comes with a horizontal and vertical format) will be available within two weeks of your wedding date.
-
My films are deeply personal. I don’t just document the day—I connect with it. I focus on the love you share not only as partners, but also as part of a greater community of friends and family.
With a documentary approach and unobtrusive presence, I capture real, heartfelt moments. Through creative editing—incorporating vows, ceremony audio, and reception speeches—I craft a story that feels both emotionally full and truly yours. It’s not just about how your day looked, but how deeply you were loved in it.
I work unobtrusively, observing rather than directing, to create a film that’s real, emotional, and artistically crafted. -
As early as possible. Wedding dates — especially weekends and peak season — fill up quickly, and I only take on one wedding per week. Reaching out as soon as you have a date in mind is the best way to make sure I'm available for you.
-
My coverage area is New York City, and that's built into my standard pricing. For weddings outside the city, I'm happy to travel — a travel fee is added based on distance and whether overnight accommodations are needed. Reach out to me with your venue location and I can give you an exact quote.
-
For photography, most couples book wedding day coverage on its own, starting at $2,750. My most popular option combines wedding day coverage, an engagement session, rehearsal dinner coverage, and a wedding album for $4,500.
For filmmaking, wedding films start at $2,000 with the Wedding Documentarist — single-camera coverage with natural, ambient sound. My most requested option is the Wedding Filmmaker package with the Full Ceremony & Reception add-on, which includes dedicated lighting and an assistant, for $3,250.
-
I don't provide raw or unedited files — but I want to explain why, since it's really about how I work rather than a restriction.
I typically deliver a minimum of 1,000 handpicked, fully edited photos from your full wedding day (i.e. 8-hour coverage), choosing them myself and setting aside repeats and near-duplicates. But selection isn't just about picking the technically 'perfect' shot — if there's real emotion in a moment, or someone important to you is part of it, that photo makes the cut too. I prioritize the images that hold meaning, not just the ones that are flawless. That's the same care and attention that goes into every photo I edit and deliver to you.
-
My style is rooted in emotion and quiet storytelling. I focus on capturing the natural rhythm of your day—the real smiles, the nervous laughter, the tender glances—without turning your wedding into a production.
I want your film or photos to feel honest and timeless, like a memory gently unfolding every time you revisit it. -
A 50% deposit is required at signing to secure your date, with the remaining 50% due two months before your wedding day. I accept ACH payment and Zelle.
