Wedding 101
With over a million years of experience in wedding, family and commercial photography, I pride myself on my professionalism, sense of humor and classic approach.
I know the importance of that special time dancing with a parent, late-night cha-cha with your best friend or quiet moment spent with a proud grandparent. These are moments you cannot replace.
There’s only one opportunity to properly photograph your wedding, regardless of weather, delays or unforeseen complications (I’ve seen my share of hurricane tent weddings,) and I want your experience to run as smoothly as possible. I encourage you to utilize me along the way regarding planning or scheduling, as i've inadvertently become a sort of wedding planner (You cannot beat a great planner, but you know what I'm talking about...)
I'll put you at ease and help you through not only your wedding day, but with all the details and questions that lead up to it. It's overwhelming - and I'm here to help.
I’ve photographed events throughout Fairfield County and New England, as well as Italy, Ireland, London, Walt Disney World and Maui. I photograph weddings throughout Connecticut, with a particular focus on Fairfield County and the Connecticut shoreline. From Greenwich, Westport, Darien and New Canaan to Stamford, Fairfield and beyond, I work with couples throughout the region as well as throughout New England and New York City. My goal is to go above and beyond and provide you with an amazing experience from the time we first meet until your album is delivered. I will find the best light, put you at ease, tell some bad jokes and make you look fabulous (so don't worry about how to pose - I got ya!)

Many couples schedule an engagement session, since it’s a fun way for us to get to know each other before the wedding, a great way to get a little practice in front of the camera and a perfect time to be together without weddings onlookers.

Classic, timeless wedding photography the modern couple. My approach is to go unnoticed while helping the day run smoothly — finding the most beautiful light, keeping you at ease, and capturing real moments. I want your photos to feel as timeless in 50 years as they do today.
PLUS: I can be pretty silly
What is your photography style?
Yes — from a 20-person micro wedding at a farm to 300 guests in New York City. Covid weddings really made me appreciate a smaller, intimate event. My 45 RPM collection ($3,000, up to 5 hours) is designed for small weddings and intimate events, and I've photographed intimate destination weddings in Ireland, Tuscany and Maui.
Do you photograph small weddings and elopements?
For me, it really depends one the wedding itself. which I will discuss with you. So sometimes yes, sometimes no. My two largest collections include a second photographer. Otherwise, I suggest adding one ($750) for wedding days over 9 hours or with more than 175 guests.
Do we need a second photographer?
Yes. An engagement session is a fun way to get to know each other before the wedding and get some practice in front of the camera. Sessions in Connecticut (within 30 miles of Fairfield County) are $800 for 60-90 minutes; out-of-state sessions are $975 plus travel.
Do you offer engagement sessions?
I hate that this has to be a question but OMG - of COURSE! I've been photographing same-sex weddings throughout Connecticut and New England for years, from Saltwater Farm Vineyard in Stonington to the Sagamore Resort on Lake George. All couples are welcome here.
Do you photograph LGBTQ+ and same-sex weddings?
A full wedding day (8 hours) yields approximately 800 edited, unwatermarked high-resolution images delivered in an online gallery for download. Smaller collections include approximately 400 images.
How many photos will we receive, and how are they delivered?
I'm based in Trumbull, Connecticut and photograph weddings throughout Fairfield County, all of Connecticut, New England, and New York City. I also travel for destination weddings — I've photographed weddings in Italy, Ireland, London, Hawaii, the Caribbean, and Walt Disney World. Shove me in your suitcase and lets GO!!
What areas do you serve?
My wedding collections range from $3,000 to $7,850. The most popular option is $5,000 for up to 8 hours of coverage and approximately 800 edited high-resolution images in an online gallery. Top collections include two photographers and a custom-designed 10x10 album. The $3,000 collection covers up to 5 hours — perfect for small weddings and intimate events.
