Rockefeller State Park Elopement - Hudson, Valley - Eliot & Nick
If a dream-like spring escape in nature is your idea of the perfect wedding, prepare to be inspired by the upstate elopement of Eliot and Nick. When they first reached out to me about their shared vision of an outdoor wedding ceremony in an vast open field, I immediately thought it was suited for the iconic ROCKELFELLER STATE PARK PRESERVE, a location I’ve been lucky to photograph couples in love several times over the years. Just under an hour from New York City, in the eastern foothills of the Hudson River in Westchester County, this sprawling state park offers expansive wooded hiking trails, beautiful beaches and scenic picnic areas. After scouting the location together, the couple found their favorite spot for their intimate ceremony under a giant mother tree. There they could finally picture their future wedding together and begin to plan what I consider to be one of the most meaningful and intentional occasions I have ever photographed.
Weylin Wedding - Brooklyn, NY - Dixie & Eric
It all started at the Bowery Electric in the Lower East Side, when Dixie winked at Eric from across the bar during a mutual friend’s party. After she went in for the kiss and gave him her number, their destinies were set. Two years later, Dixie and Eric were engaged, sharing a home in the Upper East Side, where they enjoyed runs in Central Park, and frequent traveling. In her own words, Dixie said: “We’re not above a casual bottle of rose on a weeknight.” They wed less than three miles away from their original meeting place, just a hop across the East River at the Weylin in Williamsburg.
Brooklyn Courthouse Elopement - Vanessa & Max
In what sounds like a copy/paste meet cute from your favorite romcom, Vanessa and Max connected instantly while traveling abroad in Ireland. She’s American (a Brooklyn native with Haitian parents) and he’s French. Outside a fun-filled party in 2019, the two shared a cigarette and found an instant spark.
Block Island Elopement - Taryn & Andrei
I met up with Taryn & Andrei at Mansion beach on Block Island for wedding portraits at golden hour, and some SERIOUS magic happened. These two are just so into each together- the camera ATE THEM UP. And we ended up witnessing the single BEST sunset I’ve ever seen in my life. No joke. Period.
