About Big Apple Love Stories

Big Apple Love Stories

Photographer

Hi, I'm Lucia! As a photojournalist and documentary photographer, I capture weddings, elopements, and engagements with raw emotion, cinematic storytelling, and an editorial edge. I focus on creating images that are as real, timeless, and personal as your love story. We'll go beyond classic poses. It's the intimate glances, the sidekick laughter, the never-ending hugs, the tears of joy, and those moments of pure connection what I love capturing. Whether it’s the intimacy of an elopement, the excitement of an engagement, or the energy of a full wedding, I preserve the emotions that make your day unforgettable.

My approach blends street photography, documentary storytelling, and the art of portraiture to create images that don’t just show how your day looked—but how it felt. If you want a photographer who sees the beauty in every moment, and photos that break the mold and showcase your true selves, looking like the stars of your own romantic movie with New York City as your backdrop, let’s capture some timeless magic!

  • Absolutely loved working with Lucia

    •Verified review
    •Keri•Mar 28, 2025

    From the moment we first spoke with Lucia (now Big Apple Love Stories), we knew we had found the perfect wedding photographer. Her communication style was incredibly helpful, inclusive and warm, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of her work was truly exceptional - friendly, unique, caring, high quality and exquisite. She went above and beyond to make our day special, including our entire family - from both sides - and working seamlessly with my sisters to manage the day. Lucia and Big Apple Love Stories captured so many priceless moments that we will cherish forever. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

  • A thousand times YES!!

    Lucia was simply a wonder to have on our wedding day. The communication before and during the event was amazing and we had plenty of time to do pictures before walking down the aisle. She then captured our ceremony and our party in such a perfect way. We are in absolute awe. The photos are so emotional, and we are so happy to have these incredible moments with our family documented forever.

  • Lucía is the best!

    Lucía is an incredibly talented photographer and videographer. I hired her to take a video of our proposal and she was so easy to work with, communicated a lot with me leading up to the big day, did an amazing job editing the video, and overall did an amazing job. I have also referred her to another friend who she did proposal photos for, and I know he was super happy as well. I highly recommend Lucía for any photography/videography projects!

  • Authentic. Emotional. Unforgettable.

    Hiring Lucia was the best decision we made for our wedding day. She captured everything—the big moments, the small in-between ones, and all the emotions along the way. Even when we felt awkward in front of the camera, she guided us, helping us feel relaxed and natural, resulting in the most beautiful and authentic memories! We couldn’t be happier! Thank you!
