The Journal
Documenting the soft and tender, the raw and real, and the perfectly imperfect. From NYC city chic to sprawling countrysides, our photography honors genuine moments regardless of story or setting.
Best of 2021
I convinced myself it was important to do a review of our 2021 wedding photos and what I realized it’s totally impossible to showcase all of my favorites! To be clear, we have delivered around 25000 photos to our 2021 clients and each and every one was in some way special to them and to us because it was an important part of their story. What follows ahead is a very tiny snippet of all the joy, beauty, emotions, epic locations and most importantly amazing people who trusted us to document their most important relationships and moments!
Thank you to my amazing team of photographers and videographers who helped me tell these stories!
Brooklyn Winery Wedding, Brooklyn, NYC - Lisa & Andrew
From the moment I met Lisa and Andrew I could see these two have the most incredible loving supportive relationship. We met up in Fort Greene for their engagement photos which turned out so intimate and joyful (engagement blog) and seeing them again together during their first look on the wedding day was so special. Lisa and Andrew cannot help but glow in the presence of each other:)
I am going to leave these word here written by the couple about each other because they are the sweetest:
Lisa - “Andrew is always striving to do better, and to be a continually better version of himself. He is self aware, thoughtful, and compassionate in all areas of his life. His constant striving to be better makes him a hard worker, a great friend, and most of all, a dedicated partner. It is inspiring to be with someone who is continually pushing themselves to keep moving, and to never standstill. He also admittedly loves cats, and never complains about my obsession with corgis”
Andrew - “Kindness, dedication, love, true caring in all relationships only begin to describe what an amazing person Lisa is. She kindles livelong friendships that bear the test of time and distance. She is funny, sarcastic, and even laughs at my goofy humor. Her strength permeates everything that she does, which is evident in our relationship--she is the only reason we have made it this far and the person I am today. She puts others ahead of herself, devoting her time, emotion, and focus for them and their lives. Her devotion knows no bounds! This has made our relationship a true partnership; it guides our future and supports us in the difficult moments. Our families have been through a lot over these past few years, yet Lisa is right by my side giving her love and support. It was her alluring presence that entranced me the first time we met, with her beautiful eyes and striking look, yet her love and strength are her defining characteristics.”
Lisa and Andrew picked Brooklyn Winery for their winter celebration and although it was one of these cold NYC winters we were able to take a stroll down the block from their venue for a couple of photos outside!
The Skylark Wedding, New York - Liz and Chris
I met Chris and Liz long before their wedding at a wedding show in Brooklyn. These two were so in love and very excited about the wedding day to come. I think the word 'exciting" is an understatement for how their celebration really felt! It was grand, it was emotional and it was gorgeous and crazy all at the same time! It was also the hottest August day I can remember but it didn't really matter:) After a beautiful ceremony the guests enjoyed cocktails on a rooftop bar at The Skylark followed by what I can only call "the most epic dance party ever"! Chris and Liz busted some crazy moves on the dance floor and their friends and family did not disappoint either:) Thank you once again to Chris and Liz for making me a part of their day and letting me capture all the fun!
