Weddings are one of the few times in life when all the people you love most are in one place, celebrating something truly meaningful. That’s what pulled me into this world.

I started East Shore Wedding Photography because I'm drawn to moments that are real and unfiltered. Weddings are full of them. The quiet nerves before the ceremony, the emotion during a first look, spontaneous laughter during toasts, and the joy that fills the dance floor. Those are the moments I love to capture.

What I love most about this work is that no two weddings are ever the same. Each couple brings their own story, their own energy, and their own unique rhythm. Being invited into that space and trusted to preserve it forever is something I'm grateful for every single time.

At the end of the day, I'm not just here to take pretty pictures. I'm here to help you remember how your day felt in a way that is honest, emotional, and beautiful.

One moment I’ll never forget happened during a reception toast. The groom’s mother stood up with a glass in her hand, smiling and already holding back tears. She said how happy she was that her son got married that day, and then she added something that had everyone laughing and tearing up. She said, “I’m especially thrilled he asked his brother to be his best man, because this is the first time since they were five years old that I could get them to dress the same.”

It was such a simple line, but it carried so much heart. It showed the love in that family and how even the little things can mean so much. That’s what I love about weddings. The speeches, the laughter, the surprises—those moments remind you how real and beautiful this day truly is.

You can plan every part of a wedding, but the magic always comes from what you never see coming.

We specialize in capturing weddings with a calm and natural approach that keeps the focus on you and the people you love most. Our team uses the latest cameras, lighting, and creative techniques to create sharp and dramatic images that feel true to the moment. Whether we are working with soft natural light or using full studio setups, our goal is always to make photos that feel timeless and full of emotion. We want the experience to feel easy and enjoyable, so we include a free engagement session, a preview gallery within a week after your wedding, and your full photo collection delivered within three months.

East Shore Wedding Photography has been growing and evolving for more than ten years, but our roots go back to the kind of simple moments that make weddings so meaningful.

We've been lucky to work closely with the Riviera Waterfront Mansion for years, and it’s always felt like home. Strangely enough, our company shares its name with the street the venue sits on—East Shore Drive. We didn’t plan it that way, but somehow it fits. It feels meant to be.

What started as a passion for photography has grown into a team of creative people who care deeply about giving every couple an experience that feels personal, easy, and exciting. We're always learning and adjusting, because every new day is a chance to make what we do even better.

Our team welcomes the way media keeps changing. We're always looking for new ways to tell stories through both classic photography and new creative ideas. Whether we're using the newest cameras or exploring better ways to deliver your gallery, our focus stays on making work that feels real, beautiful, and meaningful.

Personally, photography brings me so much joy. It lets me live the kind of life I want; one filled with creativity, connection, and purpose. I wouldn't change a thing.

Do you leave after we cut the cake?
NO. This is one of the biggest differences between us and other companies. We stay through the entire event because every moment matters. From the early morning prep to the last song of the night, we’re there to capture it all. Whether it’s an emotional toast, a spontaneous dance circle, or a quiet moment between you and your partner, we believe the full story deserves to be told.

What services are included in your photography and videography packages?
Our packages include full-day coverage, starting from when you get ready until the final goodbye. You can choose photography, videography, or both. We also include extra edits or creative touches that enhance your final gallery and video.

Do you have a dedicated content creator?
YES! We’re one of the few teams that includes a dedicated content creator. They focus on capturing clips, behind-the-scenes moments, and social media-friendly footage that’s typically delivered within one week.

When will we receive our photos and videos?
Your full collection of edited photos and video will be delivered quickly and without surprise charges. We work hard to make sure your memories are ready to relive as soon as possible.

Do you send teaser photos after the wedding?
Yes. We send a preview of teaser photos within 48 hours, so you have something beautiful to look back on right away.

Do you offer financing?
Yes. Financing is available through a third-party lender and is subject to credit approval.

How far in advance should we book?
We recommend booking 12 to 18 months before your wedding, especially during popular months. Dates fill up quickly, so the sooner the better.

Do you travel for weddings?
Absolutely. We’re based on Long Island and serve New York City, Westchester, New Jersey, and Connecticut. We’re also happy to travel for destination weddings.

How would you describe your photography style?
We focus on photos that are timeless and full of emotion. Using both natural light and professional lighting techniques, we create crisp and meaningful images that feel true to your day.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me doing something creative or just soaking up some sun. I’ve always loved drawing and diving into anything science related. Surfing and lazy days at the beach are some of my favorite ways to reset and recharge.

I also have a big love for music. DJing started as a fun hobby and turned into something I really enjoy exploring in my free time. Whether it’s spinning tracks for friends or just building playlists that match a mood, music has always been a big part of my life.

I think having hobbies outside of work helps keep my creative energy strong. It’s a great balance, and honestly, it all makes me smile. I bring that same curiosity and love for life into every wedding I shoot.

We know choosing your wedding photographer or videographer is a big decision, and we're honored every time a couple trusts us to be part of their story. Our approach is calm, thoughtful, and focused on capturing the day in a way that feels real to you. We’re always happy to hop on a call, answer questions, or talk through ideas to make sure everything feels just right.

Whether you're planning a big celebration or something more intimate, we're here to bring your vision to life and make the process smooth, fun, and stress-free.

And at the heart of everything we do is a simple belief—we capture weddings, not wallets.
