Your New York City Elopement Photographer

‘Trash the Dress’ at Cannon Beach, Oregon | Haystack Rock | The Goonies

Trash the Dress

I have been looking forward to writing this post for a looong time! And now that I have my very own blog I can finally show you guys one of the most amazing sessions I have ever had the pleasure to photograph. Last summer we visited my wife’s family in Portland, Oregon and I always wanted to do a shoot at Cannon Beach. Cannon Beach is right on the Oregon coast and you might recognize Haystack Rock in some of the images from one of my favorite movies of all time…THE GOONIES! I put out a casting call and it took only minutes until Michele was on board. Michele just got married weeks before our session so she had no problem getting out her wedding dress and off we went. We had so much fun! It was amazing. The weather was perfect and Michele was such a good sport. Isn’t she gorgeous?

The Pier 15 Elopement of Louise & Jay | An East River Esplanade Wedding The Pier 15 Elopement of Louise & Jay. Love knows no boundaries and sometimes it takes you to new and exciting places. Just like it did for Louise and Jay, who traveled from Scotland to New York City to elope. As a New York wedding photographer, I had the pleasure of capturing their special day and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience....

Happy Valentine’s Day my wife, my rock, and the heart of our family. 💕

I still love her 85 times to the moon and back. She’s the calm when things get chaotic, the one who sees the good in every situation, and the glue that holds us all together. Her laugh can brighten any day, and her support is the kind of magic you don’t take for granted.

I love our trips to the Baltic Sea, our Disney adventures, and the simple, everyday moments that make life with her so special. She’s my business partner, the love of my life, and my best friend - and I’m endlessly grateful for her, for us, and for the life we’ve built together.

This October, we’ll celebrate 20 years of marriage, and I swear I love her more with every passing year. ❤️

And, fun fact: our daughter took this photo. The talent clearly runs in the family. 😉📸
