I'm Jen. A wedding photographer, wife and mama of three sweet kiddos. I am lucky to be based right in Long Island, NY. Making those beach sunsets, lush vineyards, historic mansions, and Hamptons celebrations all close to home.
In my signature elevated fine art style & with a meticulous eye for detail, I love showcasing your special moments and relationships in the best possible way all while making it feel effortless and sincere.
Most people describe my work as light and airy. I am deeply inspired by the timeless and classic look of real film and aim for a painterly and ethereal look in your images. From carefully posed portraits to candids filled with everyday magic. This isn't simply a photo shoot- it's your wedding day and I want you to ENJOY and LIVE every second!
My mission is to create images that act as a time capsule for your love and all the relationships that mean the world to you!
I'm so happy you're here!

My favorite thing about photography is the ability to capture genuine love and joy and I am on the lookout for those glances and smiles all day! I would prefer you to look at your images and remember exactly how incredible you felt and the experience as a whole, rather than the way I told you to smile and pose your hand. Throughout your wedding day, I will step in and help to tweak the situation in order to create stunning images. This may involve removing a distracting picture off the wall, turning you to face the light, or helping you move into a flattering pose that will better showcase your dress. I will take a photojournalistic approach to documenting your ceremony and most of your reception.
I am primarily a natural light photographer and will shoot as much as possible using only natural light. This means shooting outside, or near the largest windows that I can find! Natural light gives the images such a soft, bright, and natural feel. In order to stay true to my style and deliver these type of images, we will discuss your timeline, and options for making sure we have access to the most gorgeous light possible. I will use additional artificial lighting equipment for your reception and as needed throughout the day if natural light is lacking to make sure you have the prettiest images possible.
What is your photography style

I’ve found the best wedding photography experiences happen when you all have the chance to get to know your photographer before the wedding day. It’s the best opportunity we’ll have to get comfortable with each other, for you all to familiarize yourselves with the way I pose/shoot, and gives me a better understanding of your unique relationship so that I can capture you two authentically. Consider it a warm-up to your wedding day, meaning the photographs on the day you say “I do” will be that much more comfortable. There’s that much less pressure to “perform,” allowing you to soak in the moment for what it is.
I don’t want to rob you all of that opportunity, which is why we make it as easy as possible to get all of our couples in front of my camera prior to the wedding day! Because of that, we chose to include them in most packages and recommend them for everyone!
If you have already taken engagement session photos with another photographer prior to booking, live far away, or really just don't want one for any reason, the basic collection offers day-of wedding photography on its own. If you choose that route, I would love to meet for coffee( or cupcakes) before your wedding so we can get to know each other.
IS AN ENGAGEMENT SESSION IMPORTANT?
back
I will never run out the door simply because we reached the original contracted hour mark.
If you need me to stay for a little longer to capture the cake cutting or a few more portraits and our scheduled wedding day coverage is over, I am SO there!
If you think you may require more time, let's chat quick. Depending on your goal, there may be an additional cost. You can approve it on the spot and I will invoice you after the wedding for the extra coverage.
WHAT IF WE END UP NEEDING MORE TIME?
back
Yes we absolutely bring backup equipment, and lot's of it :)
I typically bring anywhere between 2-4 cameras to each wedding along with multiple lenses, batteries, and memory cards. These cameras also shoot and store the images on two separate memory cards after every image is photographed. These are moments that you cannot do over and for that reason we come prepared for the unexpected.
All wedding photography collections also include a second photographer. This ensures that there are 2 photographers covering all your most important moments from multiple angles so we can tell your wedding day story, the best way possible.
DO YOU HAVE BACKUP EQUIPMENT?
back
I whole heartedly believe in having two photographers at your wedding. This is a once in a lifetime event, and one photographer simply cannot capture the vision as well as team of two will. A second photographer will ensure more complete coverage of your wedding day.
While I am photographing the look of joy and excitement on your face as you and your father walk down the aisle, a second photographer can capture that iconic shot from behind that showcases smiling guests and the back of your veil sweeping across the aisle, or they can zero in on your groom's reaction!
While I photograph the groom saying his vows, a second photographer on the other end of the aisle can capture you wiping a tear from your cheek, or the smiles on your parent's faces.
If something runs behind schedule, I can photograph you with your bridesmaids, while a second photographer can photograph your groom with his groomsmen, finishing bridal party portraits in half the time, or head off to cocktail hour to photograph arriving guests, or reception details. Having a talented second photographer is like having insurance for your wedding day!
DO WE NEED A SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER?
back
SHOULD I PREPARE A “SHOT LIST”?
Yes, and No. A shot list is a list of images or “shots” that you want the photographer to take. Bridal magazines and blogs publish articles with “must have” shots constantly and I read them all when I first began photographing weddings! I do not need an all-encompassing list of every moment of your wedding. You have enough to do! I will absolutely take pictures of you walking down the aisle, the first dance, etc. However, if there are moments or items that are very important for you to have captured, please let me know. For example, at my own wedding I had decorated the mantle of the fireplace with pictures of my dad who had passed years before. Unfortunately, I had not communicated with my photographer about that detail and it was not photographed. My photographer had no way of knowing that pictures would be there and in the hustle and bustle of the night small details easily get overlooked.
One area where I absolutely recommend preparing a shot list is for formal family pictures which can take up a lot more time than most people think! Having a shot list prepared and delivered to your photographer prior to your wedding helps to run through these shots quickly and efficiently. We budget 30 minutes for family photos for most wedding days and will work together to create a family photo shot list.

How do we figure out how many hours of Photography coverage we need?
Each wedding is unique and we can work together to build a photography package that suits your day. Ten hours is a great starting point for most weddings, but some weddings can be well captured with less, or require more hours to capture all the magic!
back
Our team has been very lucky to work with and be part of so many Long Island wedding day love stories. Often times we are contacted by the bride or groom 1-2 years in advance.
That being said, if you love our photography style and feel our team is your top choice to photograph your wedding day, please connect with us as soon as possible.
Are You available for our date?
back
Simply, No. After your wedding, I spend hours going through the pictures and sorting them. At this time, I sort out the pictures that have eyes closed, misfires, pictures where people walked in front of the camera, and pictures that for whatever reason do not meet my very high standards. These files are discarded.
I will never hold good pictures hostage from you or charge you to view more images.
can we have the raw unedited pictures too?
back
I love to shoot outside! I am not afraid of a little drizzle or light snow flurries. In fact, some of my favorite wedding images ever have been taken on rainy days! If the forecast calls for rain, pick up some clear umbrellas. I will bring a few too! Clear umbrellas work great to allow available natural light to shine on your faces during portraits & get killer creamy, and dreamy skin tones!
If you are okay with getting a little wet, we can still shoot in the planned location. If the outdoor location is just not an option, we will look for an area with some cover such as a porch, bridge, or overhang. We can find an indoor space with beautiful window light and elegant decor. If none of those options work, I will arrive at your wedding with lighting equipment, portable soft boxes, and reflectors to provide beautiful light when shooting indoors too.
Outdoor Wedding Portraits in the Rain?
back
Great question but it is hard to give you an exact number. The number of hours of coverage, the amount of travel time in between locations, the number of guests, the type of event, will be some of the variables which create the final number.
On average, you will receive about 100 edited images per hour of shooting, or 1200-1500 images.
How Many Pictures should we expect?
back
Within a week of your wedding, you will receive a hefty sneak peek gallery of about 200 images showing an overview of all parts of your wedding day! From there, your full gallery will be delivered within 6 weeks.
Your images will be delivered electronically via an online gallery. This is the quickest way for me to get the images to you. As soon as I finish editing I can load the images to the gallery and send you the link- even if it is at 2 am! No need to wait for items to be shipped and delivered. It also allows you to share your images with guests, friends, and family.
From your gallery, you may download all the images directly to your computer. While prints are not included in our wedding collections, you may order them directly from your online gallery. Your order is sent directly to a professional photo print lab using the best equipment, ensuring your photos are printed exactly the way they look on your screen. Your order is shipped directly to your home.
How and when will we I receive the images?
back
To book your wedding and reserve your date I require a signed contract and a $1000 retainer which goes towards your final balance. The remainder is due the day of your wedding. The contract will be sent to you electronically via email.
