Mara did an amazing job scouting location and timing for best lighting based off our photoshoot ideas/preferences. She had multiple cameras + extensions to get different photos. She did an AMAZING job posing me and my fiance', as well as making the photoshoot fun. She’s excellent at capturing candids as well as true editorial shots. I would highly recommend her work to anyone. She is great to work with.

Welcome to the realm where love meets adventure. As a destination intimate wedding and elopement photographer, I specialize in capturing the magic of celebrations in the most picturesque corners of the world.
Let’s make your dream day in your dream destination happen! I am based in New York City and Los Angeles and travel all over for intimate weddings and elopements.
I'm based in NYC but I go to LA every other month and I travel all over the globe to capture love. Nothing excites me more than the opportunity to shoot a destination wedding or elopement. If you're thinking of taking your celebrations overseas, please get in touch so we can chat about details.
You can bring as many people as we can plan and accommodate for! Keep in mind that logistics get difficult with more people and will limit location options. Some places (ex: courthouses) have a limited guest counts. I'm happy to work with up to 30 guests for your elopement and 50 guests for a small wedding. We can even plan a private adventure with just the two of you and then meet up with your friends and family!
A million times YESS!!! LGBTQIA+, no matter how you identify and regardless of how you define your relationship, I'd love to be a part of your wedding day. Love is love and I'm 100% here for it!
Yes! I provide personalized location recommendations based on your vision, whether it's a scenic rooftop, a quiet park, or an iconic scenic view. I also guide you through any necessary permits to ensure your day goes smoothly.
Approximately 50 photos an hour. It depends on how many hours we shoot and how jam-packed the day is.
Be sure to budget for taxis, Ubers, and Subways...whatever your vibe is/ whatever you want photographed. Dealing with parking in the city is stress that we can easily avoid. I take care of my own travel.
I'll send you a handful of sneak peek shots within 48 hours and the final gallery will be delivered in a link to your email 4 to 6 weeks later. I put a lot of love and care into perfecting each image, which is why it'll take me a little bit more time to deliver your final images. If you'd like your photos sooner, please ask me about the rush fee.
Pleaaaase yes. If the location permits your dog, I am so here for it.
I want to focus on making you feel beautiful rather than look unrealistic. Yes, I do clear skin/ remove distractions, but I don't alter your image.
Yes, we can organise to split your payments into four installments. Just let me know if this would suit you.
Of course, I'd love for you to print your favorite photos! You can easily order photos prints through your online gallery.
Life is complicated and the unexpected is to be expected. The retainer is non refundable as this helps to protect my business due to turning away all other booking for your wedding date.
