I first met Leyla and Ian last year when I took photos for a show that Leyla put together with her students.  They're both teachers at the KIPP Infinity middle school, which is also where they met and fell in love.  We became friends, and soon after they asked me if I could shoot their wedding. I of course said yes and after a great time at their engagement shoot, we couldn't wait for the big day.

It's hard to put into words just how much love and energy there was that day between them, their family, and their friends.  Every detail seemed to just fall into place, and the whole day felt meant to be.  From the smiles, to the tears, and the amazing dancing, it was an unforgettable day that I feel blessed to have been there to capture.

Congratulations to Leyla and Ian!

It was my first time at Nyack college to shoot Wendi & Luke's wedding.  The more upstate you go, the cozier it feels.  The vibe at the wedding felt more like a big get together with friends and family than a formal celebration. It was simple, intimate, and beautiful.  A great combination for a wedding.

By the way, these two have such amazing smiles don't they?
