AUTHENTICITY OVER EVERYTHING
We live in a world where it’s far too easy to make fake look great. It’s why every single photo on this website and especially the stories below are filled with nothing but real photos of real clients. No styled shoots, no gimiicks, no pinterest page inspired work - just the most recent, most raw, and most real moments happening in my life and the lives of our clients lately.

BROOKLYN WEDDING STORY. Raquel + Dave
13 Hours, 27,000 Steps and a leisurely stroll from the Brooklyn pier to the World Trade Center. This wedding story has roots ten years old from when I first fell in love with this city and a friendship five years old with the most excited bride in history. //“Cut off as I am, it is inevitable that I should sometimes feel like a shadow walking in a shadowy world. When this happens I ask to be taken to New York City. Always I return home weary but I have the comforting certainty that mankind is real flesh and I myself am not a dream.”
― Helen Keller
