There are weddings—and then there are days like this.
Emily & Jesé at @tpcjasnapolanaweddings gave us the clearest skies, the softest light, and the kind of beauty you don’t forget. The estate was glowing, the weather was the best we’ve seen all year, and Emily was radiant beside a very sharp groom. We even brought the drone up to capture Jasna Polana’s sweeping architecture and symmetry from above.
It’s always an honor to be back at this iconic venue, and we couldn’t imagine a better way to spend the weekend. This is just a glimpse of what’s to come.

Back at @therivercafe for the second time and I’m obsessed all over again. It’s one of those iconic NYC spots that just gives you magic every time.
Nidah + Nate were the sweetest couple, zero stress, all love. I love capturing weddings for “my people,” couples who feel like friends the second you meet them.
Putting it out there for 2026: more days like this, more couples like this, more River Café weddings please.

Last Saturday. Cold air, bright sun, and two grooms who were clearly just excited to party.
The ceremony was 20 people. Quiet, close, real. The kind where you can actually hear what’s being said and feel it. Then an hour later — 150 guests, a band that genuinely ripped, and a reception that didn’t slow down once.
I love when a wedding has that kind of range. Intimate and grand at the same time. And @communityhouseweddings as the backdrop — that 1920s manor light hits different in October.
M&A, this one was fun. Thank you for having me.

Oheka is one of my absolute favorite venues.
Every time I shoot here I genuinely feel like I’m inside a castle. Not a backdrop — an actual place with weight and history.
This wedding matched that energy perfectly. Look at this frame — he’s not doing much, just holding her. But she’s completely there. Soft, open, fully herself. That only happens when someone feels completely safe.
The place, the people, the light in that corridor. All of it at once.

My wife proposed we host a team Christmas party, and it was easily the best decision of the season.
There is something so special about getting the whole team together away from the cameras and the wedding schedules. Just sharing a drink, some laughs, and a very competitive game of charades.
I’ve always believed that the ability to be yourself is the greatest luxury in business.
To my team: thank you for the heart you pour into every wedding we capture. You are more than a team! You’re family! 💛

Some days just come together in the most beautiful way.
Jessica and Daniel stepping out of the Seville, walking into one of the most beautiful churches we’ve seen, and ending the night wrapped in the glow of Scarpetta – everything about this day felt effortless and very them.
A few days later Jessica sent this from their honeymoon in Tenerife:
“I’m so excited for these photos, you made us all look like stars… I can’t stop saying amazing things about you and your team.”
That’s the goal for me. Simple, elegant images, and a day that feels calm, natural, and completely theirs.

Nidah & Nathan at The River Café, right under the Brooklyn Bridge. We got lucky with the light and the weather, so I took them to a few quiet corners in DUMBO I love — the spots away from the crowds where you can actually breathe and be yourselves. 35mm film did the rest.
“As soon as we started, he knew all the best photo spots — even hidden corners away from the crowds — and kept everything running smoothly without ever making us feel rushed.”
Thank you, @nidahgoheer
Shot on 35mm film. More favorites in Stories.
