station no 2

I’ve been photographing weddings at the Brooklyn Arts Center for about 7 years now, and it remains to this day, one of my favorite places to work. Not only is the venue itself stunning, and big enough to fit your whole guest list, but they also have the perfect getting ready space right on the property, as well as the new addition of Ms Cat’s Cottage – a SECOND getting ready space right behind the BAC, you literally have everything you need all in one location, which is difficult to come by with most venues. My favorite spot at BAC is the outdoor courtyard. I use it all the time for portraits, first looks, bridal party photos, family photos, etc. I also love that this venue has a large stage which is perfect for having a live band perform, and plenty of dance floor space to party all night long.

Karey and Magnus planned the most GORGEOUS summer wedding. Blues and whites everywhere, beautiful hydrangeas, hanging lanterns, a macaron tower, everywhere you looked was another stunning detail. I had a blast photographing every little thing, the details are my favorite part. It’s what makes every wedding unique. No two are the same.

The most special part of being at this wedding day for me was that I’ve already met a lot of the family on Karey’s side, because I photographed her brother’s wedding in 2021! I felt so lucky to get to see this amazing family again, and get to document another epic day of their lives. The band kept the party going all night long, the bourbon bar opened upstairs and provided some speakeasy vibes, they had a cardboard cutout of their dog floating around, and the best part? Karey and Magnus could NOT stop smiling. The love they have for each other was felt by EVERYONE in a 5 mile radius, I swear. Grateful for clients like these ones. Now go enjoy some highlights from their big day!!!

An absolutely perfect day at the Atrium in downtown Wilmington, North Carolina. Marcy and Juan are an incredible couple. I can’t remember the last time I’ve had a groom who shed so many happy tears in one day, and it was the sweetest thing ever. The Atrium is always one of my very favorite venues to photograph, and this day was no exception. With perfect blue skies and the happiest family and friends you could ever ask for, this was a day to remember. The greenery and open-air layout of the Atrium paired perfectly with their soft color palate, with varying blues and purples of the wedding party. One of my favorite moments of the day was when Juan’s family surprised him with a video of all his family/friends in Europe who couldn’t be here for the big day. To say that they were shocked is an understatement! And we finished up the day by walking down to the River Walk with Marcy & Juan and snapping some sunset photos, these are easily some of my favorite moments of the day, and that sunset genuinely showed up for us. I’m so glad I met these two and had the pleasure of documenting their beautiful wedding day, and alllllllllll the love. SO MUCH LOVE. Congratulations, Marcy and Juan!!!!
