My 2020 started with this gorgeous celebration at the Palm House in Brooklyn Botanic Gardens!

Catherine and Tyler saw each other for the first time in the snow filled gardens but we quickly changed the scenery to more tropical and desert vibes for their portraits! I think having these unique green spaces is one of the reasons I love BBG so much for weddings! You can really make some magic happen no matter the weather outside.

“The biggest stand out memory I have from the day of is the surge of adrenaline and nerves that I felt as the morning progressed until the very moment I would see my future husband for first look photos. The moment I was with him and holding his hand, I felt safe and comfortable like I could conquer the world. The rest of the day and evening went by as a blur, the most fun party of our lives, and all I needed to enjoy it to the max was be reunited with my partner.“ - Catherine

I can’t believe I will be back at Brooklyn Winery in less than 3 months! So here is a throwback to this colorful celebration of Mary Beth and Jaren back in 2019:) Can’t wait to document love stories this year!

Here is a very special laidback backyard wedding which is a perfectly timed inspiration for all of you currently planning outdoor weddings! But besides all the gorgeous details I want to highlight all of the beautiful moments from the day. I don’t think two people can be more excited to be married then this couple!

With so many couples choosing to reimagine their wedding celebrations in 2020 and opting for outdoor ceremonies and tented receptions I thought it would be the perfect time to remember some of the beautiful backyard weddings I got to document in the past couple of years. This is a reminder that your own backyard can certainly be a beautiful place to gather but also gives you the freedom to be imaginative and creative. From lawn games to chilling by a pool with your guests to serving beers from a back of an old truck having a backyard wedding gives you so many opportunities to do it your way!

Waited too long to share the sweetest intimate wedding of Christina and Andrew at Ladies Pavilion a little over a year ago! Love these two for their goofiness and adventurous spirits.

Here is a look back at all the small and big celebrations of 2020! It was a testing year for all of us and I am so grateful for all of my couples for celebrating love in these weird times:)

Erica and Ryan had an epic wedding day complete with getting ready at the bad ass William Vale Residence, strolling to a local oyster bar for some cocktails with their guests and then leading the second line parade down the streets of Brooklyn to their ceremony and reception at Aurora Brooklyn. One of the most unique wedding experiences I’ve documented in Brooklyn:)

Back before small weddings were a thing Shanaya and Chris got married amongst their closest family and friends in a gorgeous private Garden Terrace at Wythe Hotel in Brooklyn. Their stylish celebration was even featured on OneFabDay and it was certainly well deserved. You can check out all the beautiful details below! But most importantly I love how effortless and laid back their wedding felt. Shanaya and Chris let me get creative with what might seem like a pretty plain backdrop of concrete walls and garage doors before they exchanged their vows inside a cozy candlelit room surrounded by their loved ones.

Thank you for having me and thank you for making intimate weddings cool;)

I can’t believe it’s been a full year since I made my way to Montauk to document this dreamy waterfront celebration of Jensen and Adam! These two got the most gorgeous late October day for their outdoor ceremony at Gurney’s Star Resort and the night ended with some epic dance floor action. What I loved the most about meeting Jensen and Adam is how special their relationships are with friends and family. It was an honor to witness so many emotional moments between everyone.
