I love photographing people in their most comfortable environments, so when possible, I suggest taking at least a handful of your engagement photos in your home and neighborhood. The photos in M + J’s New York City apartment are some of my favorites.

I recently added a question to my contact form asking you to choose three adjectives to describe the mood and feeling you want your wedding or photo session to evoke. I did that because I want your photos to make you feel something, not just today, but 30 years from now, when you're showing them to your grandchildren. If I've done my job as a documentary artist correctly, your grandchildren should be able to describe that mood even decades later.
We all recognize that over time, photographs replace our actual memories, so it is incredibly important that those photographs honestly and authentically bring to life the story that we are telling together. The story should reflect both the season of life you are in and the people that you are within that season, as individuals, as a couple or as a family unit.
I think I've successfully done that with this family session I photographed in Serenbe, Georgia last year. What feeling do these photos evoke for you? Film development and scanning by my friends at State Film Lab.
Jenny and Rudy's destination wedding at The Cove Eleuthera in the Bahamas was the perfect blend of style, intimacy, and all out party. They flew their closest friends and family over from Miami and hosted a 4-day wedding weekend in Eleuthera and nearby Harbour Island. It was all perfectly executed by my friends at Alore Event Firm. The Bahamas holds such a special spot in my heart and it was a joy to spend the weekend documenting Jenny and Rudy's story in one of my favorite places on earth. If you've never been, you need to put The Cove Eleuthera and Harbour Island on your bucket list. Their day was featured in Modern Luxury Weddings.
