I’m obsessed with really good food, fun vacations, cool music, cheesy jokes and I really, really, really LOVE photography.

I am a photographer that works out of both New York City and Connecticut and I love shooting couples, engagements, weddings, kids & families, and I am always down to travel anywhere!

Baja California in Connecticut| Style Shoot

Who says you cant have tacos, guacamole & beer at your wedding? Brides of the Northeast, rejoice, because I teamed up with some super talented people to bring you the coolest Style Shoot ever. Just because you live in New England, does not mean you have to stick to the traditional vineyard wedding. We know you love cool music, really good food and a fun time and what we came up with is what you see below, you can still have a fun wedding regardless of its location. So here is our nod to sunny days, surfer boys & Coronas all while never leaving our backyard, which was featured on Wedding Chicks!

Shelley + Patrick | Married! Spa at Norwich Inn

Fedora hat? Check.
Raybans? Check.
Moustaches? Check.
Birdcage veil? Check.
Drop dead gorgeous bride? Double Check.

If you were looking for the coolest wedding of the year, you’ve come to the right place. Shelley & Patrick's small, intimate, and romantic wedding at the Spa at Norwich Inn, was one of the coolest experiences of my life. The little details in this wedding were what killed me, it was everything an awesome wedding should be and it spoke to how incredible Shelley & Patrick really are. From the second I walked in and there was Frank Pepe’s Pizza in the Bridal suite as a pre-wedding “snack”, I knew I was home. Plus, seeing my ridiculously gorgeous bride in her veil enjoying her pizza with her bridesmaids and then shoot me a look straight out of the cover of vogue, made my heart jump up and down with excitement.
I feel like I say this for every wedding, but honestly I have the most amazing clients, that have the coolest weddings that are personal & intimate where I feel like an invited guest.
Thanks again Shelley & Patrick for allowing me to celebrate with you!
