Charlotte + Paul - Elopement // Super 8 + Polaroids

February 10, 2025

So picking up the blog again this year to share some more work I’ve been doing. A lot to be honest! And it needs to be seen! Last summer, I shot a lovely little elopement in Chelsea, Manhattan with Charlotte and Paul who came down from Canada just for the occasion and I absolutely love their final elopement film!

I also shot a handful of Polaroids for them to memorialize the day with some tangible photos and they look amazing. This all was made even better because these two had style to match the retro analog mediums I was using. So chic! So mod! I was living for their vibe, and to top it off, we were in the iconic Hotel Chelsea.

After getting ready in the room, we headed to the rooftop for a few photos and a glass of wine, then off to Madison Square Park for their small elopement, which is impossible in NYC because the whole city is your audience and so many people stopped to watch. It was all very cute and their elopement was very sweet.

Super 8 and Polaroids are so great for elopements since it’s a more casual and fun way to remember the day as it felt like. A bit of a dream… but a great dream!

Grace + Will - Wedding // Super 8 + Polaroids

March 6, 2024

It’s been a little while since I’ve shared a wedding on my blog but that’s not to say I haven’t been shooting them! Wanted to share a bit of a throwback favorite from 2021. COVID did obviously eliminate weddings for the NYC area for pretty much all of 2020 but I did end up shooting some lovely 2021 weddings including Grace and Will’s in Connecticut. You can see their wonderful little Super 8 highlight film below.

The weather was amazing. The house and barn were beautiful. The guests were hilarious. Grace and Will were looking stunning! Chairs were raised. It was a really good time and their wedding film really showcases that.

Their wedding was at a gorgeous family residence with a backyard where the ceremony and reception took place. I also took a few portraits and snapshots on some old Instax film with my custom camera that came out quite nicely!

Tori + Eric - Wedding // Super 8 + Polaroids

April 21, 2023

With a little bit of a wedding backlog, this one is from before the world went crazy. It’s Tori and Eric’s Hudson Valley wedding on Super 8 and Polaroids! They had a lovely little ceremony upstate in the Hudson Valley literally overlooking the Hudson River. It was stunning! Take a look below!

I also was shooting a bit of instant film that day and got some truly wonderful moments on the custom Instax camera I was using. The black and white instant film really just fits so well with weddings. So classic and chic!

Congrats to Tori and Eric and hope they’re doing well!

Brittany & Alex - Wedding // Super 8 + Polaroids

February 12, 2019

A wedding on a lake house in Connecticut where the bride and groom are entering the cocktail hour on a motorboat? And I’m there to capture it all on Super 8? Count me in. Plus, Brittany and Alex were such a fun and chill couple and their family and friends were a blast. And to top it off, their photographer, Dan Crosley, would be photographing the whole thing on film as well. A 100% film wedding! So rad! Take a peek at their Super 8mm wedding film below as well as some of the instant photos I took.

As much as I love New York City, any New Yorker will admit to wanting to get out of the city for a break and soak in some nature. So getting to capture a wedding at a family lake house with the ceremony taking place right on the water was absolutely amazing. Right after their ceremony on the waterfront, the couple hopped on a bona fide yellow school bus and jetted over to the other side of the lake for some portraits.

This all leading up to some friends in a motorboat arriving to pick them up at sunset and shuttling them across the lake to the all of the wedding guests eagerly waiting for them to arrive. It was pretty fantastic. Then the fun just kept going with their dancing-filled reception and some hysterical toasts. What an evening and so happy for them as they start life together!

Aileen & Philip Wedding // Super 8 + Polaroids

February 13, 2018

This is a wedding I had long been looking forward to shooting, Aileen and Philip! Aileen had contacted me over a year before her wedding raving about instant film and loving the Super 8 look for weddings so it was easy to be excited to shoot a wedding when the bride is so excited as well. You can watch their Super 8 wedding film below.

This wedding was a bit unique as well in that there were actually to be two weddings: a smaller family and bridal party wedding on Saturday (which is what I shot) and then a larger more traditional wedding on Sunday (shot by a friend and awesome photographer, Sophie Kwalek and featured on Style Me Pretty. Sophie and I both worked together on Patrick and Rachel's gorgeous Prospect Park Boathouse wedding). This was also unique in that I'd be the only photographer or cinematographer for the day, shooting everything on Instax and Super 8 film.

So we started the day at a beautiful cathedral in New Brunswick where the ceremony was held. A few guests and the families were the attendees for this more intimate ceremony. Aileen was wearing a stunning, fitted white dress and Philip was in a fantastic blue suit with red velvet accents. Very stylin’.

After the ceremony we strolled around the Rutgers campus where the couple met to take a few photos before headed over to the lunch held at one of their parent’s homes. There, they changed into outfits for a traditional tea ceremony held after weddings with close family. Then another quick outfit change into more comfy clothes for a veritable feast that awaited everyone in the backyard, cooked by the parents and included endless lobster, corn, meats, and veggies.

A really lovely and laid back wedding day for two really great people. I had a lot of fun shooting with them and really love how their wedding film came out.
