35mm film photography on your wedding day captures moments with a timeless, organic quality that digital can’t replicate. The grain, subtle color shifts, and natural light renderings create an authentic and nostalgic feel, preserving emotions and details in a way that feels both intimate and artistic. Each frame holds a deliberate, thoughtful pause, encouraging a slower, more meaningful connection to your memories. The imperfections and light leaks add character, making every image a unique piece of your story, beautifully frozen in time.
As a Long Island documentary style wedding photograher, cocktail hour is one of my favorite parts of the day! Cocktail hour offers a unique opportunity to capture candid moments filled with genuine interactions. During this time, guests relax and connect, allowing for authentic expressions and spontaneous laughter to unfold away from the formality of the ceremony and reception. These unposed images reveal the true atmosphere of the celebration, showcasing joyful conversations, heartfelt toasts, and quiet moments of reflection. By blending into the background and observing without interruption, I can document these fleeting glimpses of connection that often become some of the most cherished memories of the day.
As a Long Island documentary style wedding photographer, I focus on capturing genuine moments as they naturally unfold throughout your day. My approach emphasizes authentic emotions and candid interactions, resulting in timeless images that tell the true story of your celebration.

My style is ideal for couples who want to preserve the honest essence of their Long Island wedding without interruption, and have a stress-free and fun experience.
