Alive, electric wedding photography for design-obsessed couples who value their people fiercely and celebrate in iconic, eclectic spaces
Alive, electric wedding photography for design-obsessed couples
who value their people fiercely and celebrate in iconic, eclectic spaces
As New York wedding photographers, we travel across NYC, Brooklyn, Hudson Valley, Long Island, and Upstate for celebrations filled with color, personality, great outfits, thoughtful design, and people who are fully in it with you! We’ve been photographing high-end weddings with 17 years of expertise. Bringing our background in historic East Coast luxury markets, we specialize in documenting celebrations filled with color, personality, and thoughtful design.
You’ll get the portraits. The pretty ones. The relaxed ones. The ones your family will immediately try to print in an aggressively large size. But the heart of your gallery will be the part you actually lived: the people, the reactions, the dinner-table chaos, the quiet little moments, and the joy that would’ve happened even if no one had a camera.
"You were the perfect balance of getting the portraits we wanted, fixing my hair when I needed it, and then somehow blending into the background for all the candids. We knew we could fully relax because you clearly knew what you were doing!"
FROM HISTORIC long island estates TO THE electric energy of nyc wedding venues - WE DOCUMENT new york WEDDING WEEKENDS WITH STYLE, COLOR, AND PERSONALITY
We look for the contrast—the intersection of a killer outfit, high design, and the raw, unfiltered chaos of a dance floor packed with your favorite people. We don't do stuffy, polite, or staged posing. You design an unforgettable, multi-day experience; we bring the energy to capture the actual pulse of it!
SO WHAT DOES THAT ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE?
our style. Your details. Your fashion moment. The thing that makes the day feel like yours before anyone says a word. Whether it’s a sculptural gown set against historic limestone, a colorful cultural tablescape, or relaxed-but-polished portraits with the NYC skyline, we’re there for all of it. Always aiming for photos that feel like you.
The ones who celebrate with you, cry with you, hype you up, and somehow know exactly when you need a laugh. Whether they're gathering for a black-tie wedding in SOHO r a tented lawn reception on the North Fork, these are the photos that bring the whole room back—capturing the raw, unscripted energy of your favorite people.
The clinking glasses, the candlelit dinner, the loud laugh from across the table, the friend who turns one tiny moment into a whole scene. This is the celebration part—whether it’s a packed ballroom at the Plaza Hotel, a wild Brooklyn warehouse party, or an intimate dinner party that goes late into the night.
"We love that you captured the true essence of our wedding day -not just the pretty photos, but all of the fun moments that made it memorable!"
Full-throttle coverage for the entire wedding weekend. From rehearsal dinner toasts to late-night after-party candids, we document every unscripted second with two photographers, digital + 35mm film photography, and high-resolution digital galleries.
Tailored, flexible hours for City Hall elopements, intimate dinner parties, or high-energy engagement sessions. Ideal for smaller gatherings when you want iconic, editorial-level images—without needing a 200-person guest list to get them.
Fill out the inquiry form, and we’ll drop the full pricing guide straight into your inbox—no awkward phone calls required!
I started photographing weddings in 2009—before Pinterest, before wedding trends had names, and before everyone was trying to copy-paste the same internet aesthetic. I learned to pay attention to what actually lasts: the energy in the room, the people who make the day feel full, and the tiny choices that make a celebration feel like yours and no one else's.
Jay joined me in 2013, and we’ve spent over a decade photographing side-by-side with the exact same focus: tuned in, people-first, calm when it counts, and ready for whatever weird little magic shows up.
I’m from Long Island, Jay is from Florida, and together we bring a little East Coast grit, a lot of experience, and a genuine love for weddings with bold color, style, and character. Whether we’re capturing your weekend along the beaches of Montauk, inside a historic Gold Coast estate, or at a chic Manhattan hotel, we make sure you get to actually live the party while we document it!
less perfect,
more real
"Katie & Jay have a way of capturing the moments you didn’t even know to ask for—my husband helping his dad with his bow tie in slippers, my mom hugging me after the ceremony, my husband sitting and talking with our niece and nephew during portraits. Not one of those was on a shot list, but they’re already family treasures"
