Brooklyn Maternity Session Photography

The sweet unknown while you wait for your baby to arrive is such an exciting time. You can't help but wonder when will they arrive, who will they look like and what is it really like becoming a parent? Well, each new expecting parent will soon have all those answers once their little bundle of joy arrives. I absolutely loved capturing Kailey and Drew's in-home maternity session at their apartment in Brooklyn. The morning light is my favorite time of day to capture these moments and their apartment was sun-drenched at just the right time. I cannot wait to meet their little guy and document this new family from the very beginning. xo

Brooklyn Botanic Gardens Wedding Photos at The Palm House

Weddings at the Brooklyn Botantic Gardens are my absolute favorite. You are in the middle of one of the busiest boroughs in all of New York City, yet once you enter beyond the gates, you find yourself inside a luscious garden that is quiet, calm, and completely picturesque which is exactly why Marilyn and Dan wanted to get married at The Palm House! The bride got ready at the ever stunning Crosby Street Hotel located in SoHo, Manhattan. The hotel rooms have an eclectic decor and abundance of natural light which is a photographers dream. Marilyn wore her grandmothers gold necklace, which has been worn by all the women in her family on their own wedding days for three generations and counting! It is a true family heirloom.

The Bride wore a delicate lace embroidered wedding dress took everyone's breath away once she slipped it on. Dan and his groomsmen got ready at the couples apartment in historic Brooklyn Heights. Looking dapper in his tuxedo, he was excited to travel to Brooklyn Botanic Gardens for the couples first look in front of The Palm House. We took full advantage of the sun drenched magnolia plaza during their bride and groom portraits. Their wedding ceremony was held outside in front of a stunning tree just before sunset. Their priest was one of the funniest officiants ever and had everyone in attendance laughing out loud to his cheery annotates and clever analogies. Guests were treated to sunset cocktail hour outside on the terrace before the reception began inside stunning glass atrium of The Palm House.

One of the most memorable speeches was given by Marilyn's father. He gushed about his daughters accomplishments before recounting one of his favorite childhood memories of Marilyn in her swimsuit as a baby. He even brought it from home for everyone to see! Marilyn and Dan know how to d-a-n-c-e and had a great time on the dance floor while Hank Lane Band brought the house down - no one sat down during the reception! The Bride and Groom are just the sweetest, kindest and most thoughtful couple and I'm so honored I was a part of their wedding celebration! Congratulations Marilyn and Dan! xo

At Home Maternity Session in New York City

Becoming a mother is a true gift and being able to capture it, is and even bigger one. Erin is a wedding designer whom I've had the pleasure of collaborating with over the years and overtime, we've become friends. I was so honored when she asked me to capture her journey to motherhood. I photographed the parents-to-be in their home in New York City on a bright sunny morning. Their apartment was flooded with warm natural light and the soft grey, blue and blush tones brought the session together. I'm so delighted to share a few of my favorite photos and cannot wait to meet their baby boy soon! xo

Nautical Chic Wedding at Montauk Yacht Club

From the very first moment Jessica met John, she knew he was the one. They met at a small bistro in Brooklyn Heights and quickly became exclusive. During their courtship, they spent a lot of time in Montauk so when John proposed, they knew they wanted to celebrate their marriage in their favorite place in New York. The couple chose the stunning Montauk Yacht Club Resort and Marina for their nautical chic inspired wedding. Jessica's wore the most delicate and detailed Monique Lhuillier wedding dress I have ever seen. The intricate layers of tulle, lace, and silk fit her like a glove. She wore cream colored crystal encrusted Manolo Blahnik shoes and carried her grandmothers beaded clutch for her something borrowed. The couple prayed for good weather and the heaven's did not disappoint.

Crystal clear blue skies and bright sun shined throughout their wedding day which was the picture perfect backdrop for their outside ceremony. Jessica was moved to tears while reciting her wedding vows and John looked on with pure happiness that he was becoming her husband. All Who Wander Events coordinated and designed their wedding creating a seamless flow between events. Ava Flora created stunning wedding flowers for the entire wedding party, ceremony space and reception. After the ceremony, guests were treated to a sunset cocktail hour outside on the lawn overlooking the water before heading into the Farm Ballroom for the reception. The East CoastEast Coast BandBand brought the house down! Every single person danced on the dance floor and the Bride and Groom were having so much fun that they didn't want the night to end! I'm so honored and delighted to have been part of Jessica and John's wedding day. I knew from the moment we met, I wanted to be their wedding photographer and thrilled to call them friends. Congratulations!! xo
