  • Photographer

I've been working professionally as a photographer for 13 years and I've shot countless weddings, events, concerts, parties, and portraits. I capture the magic of your day while respecting that your guests are there to see YOU not me, and often my couples' favorites are the photos they didn't realize I took. My eyes are always everywhere and I often hear, "I can't believe you caught that!" My concert work has been published in dozens of local, national and international online and print publications such as Revolver, Spin, Billboard, The New York Times, USA Today, MAC Life, Fake Walls, The NJ Underground, Jersey Beat, and IFC to name a few.

Chris and his team from Limitless Entertainment are excellent! You're in great hands if you book him for your wedding or event. I just got married 11/1/24 and everyone raved about how great the music was! Chris is personable and took the time to listen to our music taste and curated the perfect set that kept people dancing all night long. I received a lot of compliments on how well the music was, he knows how to read the room and get the party going!

Book All In Entertainment!! Anthony is phenomenal! It's been well over a month since our wedding, and our friends and family are STILL talking about how fun the dance floor was. All because of All In Entertainment! Even our older relatives who couldn't really get up to dance talked about how fun it was to see everyone up on the dance floor having the time of their lives. On the day of the wedding, because we didn't do the bouquet toss and stuff, there was some extra time before dinner. Anthony did a fantastic job figuring out a plan to fill the time and worked with our photographer to make sure the evening went smoothly. He added no stress to our day and truly helped make it magical! I am thrilled that I booked All In Entertainment! And ending the night by joining us on the dance floor and dancing to Bye Bye Bye was a perfect cherry to the night!

We had Dragonfly Flowers host a flower arrangement class during my bachelorette party weekend & it was incredible. Laura hauled tons of gorgeous flowers and all the supplies we needed to perfect our arrangements up to our Airbnb. The girls and I walked away with insanely beautiful arrangements and a plethora of new tips and tricks for making arrangements on our own with grocery store flowers. This activity hands down was everyone’s favorite of the weekend. I highly recommend bringing Dragonfly Flowers in for any and all of your events. We are so excited to continue working with Laura and the Dragonfly Team for our wedding in a few months!

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very beginning, Park Château made the entire wedding process feel like an absolute dream. The moment I stepped onto the grounds for the first time, I knew it was the perfect venue—I could already picture our wedding day there. As a Type A bride, I deeply appreciated how responsive and helpful Devin was throughout planning. Every question I had was answered quickly, and every concern met with care. The team was incredibly accommodating, honoring the vision we had for a meaningful, multicultural celebration. They worked with us to alter the stations so I could incorporate my Filipino heritage and allowed us to bring in soju to represent my husband’s Korean culture. Every request, no matter how detailed, was thoughtfully considered—it genuinely felt like their mission was to bring our dreams to life. On the day of the wedding, the service was impeccable. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty. Danielle kept us relaxed by constantly checking on us, keeping the suite clean, steaming dresses last-minute, and making sure we were well-fed and comfortable. Once we were ready, Jeremiah and Justin took care of my husband and me with such attention, joy, and professionalism that we never once had to think or worry about a thing. They truly went above and beyond!! They made sure our hair was never out of place, carried my lipstick for touch-ups, managed my train, cape-veil with ease, shaded me from the sun, and brought cold water (with a straw for makeup!) every 30 minutes. When my dress got dirty during photos (which I was mentally prepared for!), they were on the ground scrubbing it clean and blow-drying it dry—both of them. Later on the dance floor, they cooled me down with a cold cloth and made sure I stayed hydrated, all while keeping the energy light and fun. I could go on and on because these were just a few things they took care of for us that day! They made us laugh, checked in on us emotionally, and truly felt like part of our celebration. Their presence made the day even more magical. Our guests were blown away—not just by the sheer amount of food, but by the quality and taste of everything, from cocktail hour to dinner to the drinks. Everyone thought the grounds and venue were so beautiful and it all ran so smoothly! We've had so many guests tell us it was one of the best weddings they've ever attended, and we couldn’t agree more. Park Château truly knows what they’re doing. I wish I could relive the day all over again—it was absolutely perfect. Thank you to the entire Park Château team for giving us a wedding day beyond our wildest dreams.

Every element was captured from the sights and sounds of Brooklyn, the first look, the speeches, the dancing, the random moments that we can relive. The pace, tone, and production of their videos (IG teaser, feature film, wedding moments, etc) was very well done and captured the emotion of the day. Carlo and his team was an excellent combination of professional and ease. He was on time for every meeting, asked great questions to learn about us, and was punctual with the contract and payment terms. His chill personality made us and our guests very comfortable on our wedding day and to celebrate and have fun. Highly, highly recommend Carlo and his team for weddings and events.

We were worried we wouldn’t be able to find a photographer who could capture everything we wanted and truly fit our needs. Then we found Shelby—and from that moment on, every worry disappeared. We cannot recommend Shelby highly enough for all your wedding photography needs. From the very beginning, she stood out—not just for her stunning work we first saw on Instagram, but for the connection she built with us right after our initial call. We knew instantly we had found our photographer. Shelby’s meticulous planning, sharp attention to detail, and vibrant, fun energy made the entire experience an absolute joy from start to finish. She went above and beyond, not only capturing breathtaking images of our wedding day but also taking the time to truly get to know us as a couple. Our engagement shoot was the perfect warm-up. Meeting Shelby beforehand, getting comfortable in front of the camera, and building that trust meant that on our wedding day, it didn’t feel like we were meeting a vendor—it felt like we were welcoming a friend. On the big day itself, Shelby, her assistant, and her videographer were a dream team: professional, punctual, proactive, and seamless in their coordination. They helped everything flow effortlessly, and we both agreed they were hands down our favorite vendors to work with. The photos speak for themselves, but beyond that, Shelby gave us an experience we’ll never forget. My wife and I kept saying how incredibly lucky we were to have her as our photographer. If you’re searching for someone who will deliver jaw-dropping photos while making the process fun, stress-free, and deeply personal, Shelby is the one.

Gypsy Hill Florals provided beautiful flowers for my wedding! The only reason I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 is they messed up my bridal bouquet. In our planning discussions, I provided an inspo pic but discussed verbally and in the contract it was stated that the bouquet was to be cascading and larger than the picture. The florist arrived and it looked exactly like the inspo picture and the contract was not followed. Luckily, they had excellent customer service and had someone remake my bouquet on site. Additionally, the rest of our flowers were beautiful and I have no complaints. All in all I would still recommend them since they handled the error well, my flowers were gorgeous, and I thought they had fair pricing.

Jing was the best florist I could've imagined. I had a very specific vision for my florals and Jing helped bring it to life. In the planning process, she helped me make what I wanted work within my budget, never pressuring me to add more or saying what I wanted was impossible (an insane claim I heard from other florists who wanted more money). She encouraged me to use florals from my ceremony during my reception and they came out beautifully. She decorated my sweet heart table with all of our bouquets. Everything held up wonderfully and many guests took flowers home. I can't recommend Jing and Hexacres florals enough!!!

I’m a drummer, a mother of two amazing kids, and a proud owner of an 80lb Samoyed. My passion for photography is deeply influenced by my family legacy—my grandmother was a dedicated full-time photographer who spent her life capturing and hand-coloring her own images. Growing up immersed in her art has profoundly shaped my own approach to photography. As a photographer, I'd love to capture the journey of two people in love, telling the genuine and touching story of their life together. I strive to create images that convey heartfelt narratives and reflect the true essence of your relationship and the moments you share.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Momo for our Chinese-Bengali fusion wedding celebration in lower east side of Manhattan in mid June 2024. We had a very small venue with 10 family members and 30 closest and dearest friends of ours for an intimate gathering. Momo’s camera closely followed and captured the unfolding of the event and the subtlest facial expressions of our family, guests and myself throughout the night. I got to know about her work from Red (Chinese Reddit) before entrusting her for one of the most important events of my life, but was still caught exhilarated by her work product on our event — her passion about photography and deep expertise in its technicality shined through the over 200-photo-well-woven storyline. Besides her exceptional work and high professionalism throughout our pre-and-during event communication, I appreciated her confident and genuine approach which I found down-to-earth, super helpful and reassuring — she really put in the work to understand you and amplify your shining traits. It’s such a pleasant and unforgettable experience to work with Momo. I would highly recommend her for any couples who are looking for wedding photographers.

Ashley was one of my favorite vendors to book for my big day! From the trial to leading up to the wedding, communication with Ashley was excellent. She is professional, kind, and listens to every want and worry of yours. It feels like working with someone I have known my whole life, and her calming presence on such a big day was exactly what I needed. My makeup for my trial and my wedding day held up so so well, even through my first look tears!! I have truly never felt more beautiful in my life, and I am looking forward to continue using Ashley’s services for any and all of my makeup needs moving forward. Thank you SO much Ashley!

Vero was the absolute sweetest! She executed my makeup perfectly and had such great attention to detail. She gave me great tips for prepping my skin for the big day, which was amazing because my skin was the best it has ever been! I had such a fun time on the morning of my wedding with her and my hairstylist. My makeup lasted for over 24 hours. The makeup did not feel heavy and it felt as though I had no makeup on. Thank you so much Vero!

Seamless I Do's was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, their communication was efficient, clear, and professional. The quality of their work was truly stellar - they were incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of. Bebe was heaven sent. She coordinated all the vendor meals and even ran out to buy additional flowers when my mother expressed concern over the size of her mother of the bride bouquet. I cannot recommend Seamless I Do's highly enough - they made our special day run seamlessly from start to finish.

Dominique is a pure gem! I came across her instagram page after someone recommended her. I’m not lying when I say I picked her out of at least 50 other recommendations. She did my makeup for my engagement photos and my wedding day. The first time I met her (for my wedding trial), I was so upset because nothing was going as planned with my engagement shoot. My hair appointment was rescheduled and then after being rescheduled I had to wait over an hour to get done. I was having second thoughts about the location I had picked. So just all these things and I was able to vent to her and just her energy was very calming. When she was done I couldn’t stop smiling. I lovedddd my makeup! I didn’t even want to wash it off after the shoot. On my wedding day, she was there early, her team set up with no problem, and everyone was very friendly and professional. This put me at ease. She started with this cool mask— which I had never had before and that itself relaxed me. She was very knowledgeable about what was going on and even prepared me for the other vendors. I can not sing her praises any louder! She’s theeee best in all areas. Thank you all for everything from the bottom of my heart

Our wedding was the smoothest day we could have asked for. From the time we booked to the morning after, we knew we were in excellent hands. Lea was professional and made booking everything from the wedding itself, tasting, and rehearsal dinner a smooth process answering every question we had, and more we hadn't even thought of. Working with John as our maître d' was a lifesaver. Coordinating us where we had to be, helping us with our banquet menu, and making sure we were able to enjoy our time with our guests while still being able to eat and drink at our cocktail hour made us have a night that we were able to look back on and actually remember, not just be a blur. The venue itself is gorgeous, only doing one event at each property (the Olde Mill Inn itself and the Grain House across the parking lot) each day, so you do not have added stress about timelines or not having support day of. Our ceremony was in the Courtyard, and reception in the ballroom, with easy access to said courtyard if you needed to go outside and get some fresh air. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather, but they are also prepared to be able to host the ceremony indoors just in case.
