What about a sky full of cherry blossoms? 🌸🌸🌸🌸
Cherry blossom season in NYC is an absolute dream – and it’s the perfect time for a romantic engagement session! The soft pink and white blooms create such a magical atmosphere, and the warmer weather makes everything even better.

I had so much fun capturing Wrujuta and Gaurang’s engagement – their joy and connection made this session unforgettable!

If you’re thinking about a cherry blossom session, here are my favorite spots:

🌸 Central Park – Iconic and timeless, with dreamy cherry blossom tunnels and open meadows.
🌸 Liberty State Park – Stunning NYC skyline views framed by delicate pink blooms—truly a one-of-a-kind backdrop!

Timing is everything:

🌸 Early April – Catch the soft, pale pink and white Yoshino cherry blossoms.
🌸 Late April – Enjoy the vibrant, fuller Kwanzan cherry blossoms with their rich pink hues.

Time flies! I can’t believe it’s been a little over a year since this beautiful engagement session—and now, a whole year since your wedding in India. Happy anniversary, and ! Wishing you both a lifetime of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments ❤️

I loved capturing your engagement in one of my favorite spots in NYC. DUMBO never disappoints with its stunning views, romantic sunsets, dreamy vibes, and that carrousel 😍 Here’s to many more milestones and memories ahead.

I had the best time at the for the ! It was such a fun experience photographing the Bridal Expo—and don’t even get me started on the architecture. The mid-century modern design, those iconic curves, and all the retro vibes… I was in photographer heaven!

I kept thinking how amazing it would be to photograph an engagement session or even a wedding here. The whole place feels like stepping into a stylish time capsule—imagine the photos! If you’re planning something special at this gorgeous venue, I’m SO ready to capture it.

✨ A Fairytale Come to Life ✨

Every bride dreams of the perfect wedding, and at Green Tree Country Club, that dream becomes reality. Nestled in the heart of Westchester, this breathtaking venue offers elegance, charm, and a private beach that adds a magical touch to every moment.

The beauty of this wedding was in the details; lush purple orchids and delicate florals adorned the space, creating an ethereal, romantic atmosphere. The rich hues of lavender and violet blended seamlessly, adding a regal elegance to the celebration. From the vows by the peaceful view to the dazzling reception, every moment felt like a fairytale come true.

Would you say “I do” at this stunning venue?

Sunsets in Dumbo, NYC, are pure perfection 🌅 The Brooklyn Bridge stands tall, and the golden hour lights the whole sky—it’s a dream. It gets even more special when you capture couples celebrating their love against this breathtaking skyline backdrop. Whether it’s a sweet embrace, popping a champagne to toast their forever, or staying for the magic of nighttime photography when the city lights shine like stars, there’s something so timeless about love stories unfolding in one of the city’s most iconic spots.
A heartfelt thank you to Kiana and Dwayne for trusting me to capture these beautiful moments on your wedding elopement. It was such an honor to be part of your love story ❤️

Wedding in the winter of December! Kristina and Javier planned their epic day starting with a city hall ceremony in Elizabeth, NJ. This must have been one of the most gorgeous city halls I have seen so far. It was there they had their first look, including their dog Phoebe. This was followed by bridal portraits in Domino Park, and a wedding reception at restaurant in Bushwick. They had amazing live music by and a gorgeously decorated wedding cake by 😻.
May your marriage bring you many years of health and happiness as well as Sundays watching your beloved soccer games.
Congratulations and thank you for trusting me to photograph your spectacular day! ❤️

Romantic winter Proposal in a snowy day in NYC rooftop.
A throwback from those times when it used to snow here… My hands were almost frozen 🥶😄 I highly recommend to bring your hand warmers for plans that are outdoors in winter season.

“I can’t help falling in love with you”

Fall season is probably the favorite season for most of us, and indeed what’s not to love about it? Weather gets cooler, leaves start to change colors, pumpkins are plentiful, and it’s the season where Halloween shines with decorations all over. As a wedding photographer, besides the aforementioned, I love fall because the weddings are more enjoyable for everyone weather wise, also, the bridal portraits taken in this season are just stunning and unique. Additionally, it makes the subjects really pop, as you can see in these pictures of Tamrin & Tyler. What a beautiful wedding it was.

Wrujuta & Gaurang’s pre wedding session at the New York Public Library (one of the many locations we went to that day) is one of my favorites to date. The color of their outfits really stood out on the elegant architectural background that the NYPL has to offer. Furthermore, the expressions on their faces displaying their love for one another is clearly noticeable in each shot. It was an absolute pleasure to have captured these photos of such a lovely couple!

Así como Marta dice “Si en esta vida, Si en la eternidad”. Y ese fue el SI más bonito que eh visto hasta el momento, ellos ya se casaron y tienen un bebe en camino, su gran celebración de boda es al año que viene, y ya con todo esto tan bello, Arturo quiso hacerlo aún más bello y sentimental, entonces le dió la proposición matrimonial 💍 que Marta se merecía, así de sorpresa, y en unos de los lugares más bonitos en Nueva York. Pero que bonito amor!!! Muchas felicidades! ❤️
