One spot, in and out. 30 minutes · 1 locationA short, focused session. Enough for a strong set of frames in one place, without building an afternoon around it.Best for: couples who know exactly what they want, or anyone who'd rather not be photographed for very long.

ONE HOUR

$500

One place, properly.1 hour · 1 locationThe standard engagement session. One spot, with time to warm up — which matters, because the frames worth keeping usually start about fifteen minutes in.Best for: most engagement sessions.

THE WALK 

$800

Ninety minutes across the city.1.5 hours · 2–3 locationsWe move. Two or three spots, with the light changing as we go. You get architecture, streets, and the two of you in the middle of it — a set of photographs that could only have been taken in New York.Best for: couples who want the city in the pictures as much as themselves, and anyone who wants range rather than variations on one backdrop.

250+ five-star reviews across platforms:





We're awkward in front of a camera. Is that a problem?
Nearly everyone says this, including people who look completely natural in their photos. We don't arrange people into poses — we give direction and photograph what happens in between. The frames worth keeping come from the moment right after someone stops performing.
What happens if it rains?
Usually, we shoot anyway. New York rain rarely lasts a whole afternoon, and a wet city photographs beautifully. If it's genuinely unshootable we move it, and weather reschedules are free.

First fall weddings are already on the calendar, so we’ve been back in last year’s galleries for inspiration. A wedding from last season, shot on digital and film side by side. Film for the slower moments, digital for what won’t wait. Every couple brings their own version of a day like this — their own traditions, their own pace — and that’s still the part of the work we find most interesting. . . . #documentaryweddingphotography #filmandigital #hybridweddingphotographer #nycweddingphotographer #fallwedding

The rainbow wasn’t planned. Everything else was — the timing, the flash, even which frames we shot in black and white. How we actually work a proposal at Central Park’s Conservatory Garden — full story on our website /blog. location: @centralparknyc . . . #centralparkproposal #nycsurpriseproposal #nycproposalphotographer #nycengagementphotographer

Not everything we photograph is a wedding. A private Creed event in Bridgehampton — documentary coverage, start to finish.

Always a treat escaping to a Florida wedding. The air is warm, the palms do half the styling, and the light lingers uninterrupted straight through to sunset. Here’s how this one felt.

Beach season is officially open. 🐚 While we’ve been out on the dunes with our bravest couples since March, the air is finally catching up. There is a specific kind of magic on Long Island right now—wide-open shorelines, no crowds, and that crisp, coastal light. Looking back at this dreamy Montauk proposal from last summer to get us in the mood. We’re ready for more of these glowing, salt-air sunset sessions. xx . . . key words: north fork wedding photographer, southampton beach photos, east hamptons editorial photographer, sag harbor wedding photography, montauk proposal photographer, montauk beach photoshoot

It’s funny, but sometimes there’s something inexplicable in the air and the camera catches it. Click. And you have a heart-shaped shot of the hands. Was it planned? No. Yet this photo captures the spirit of the moment - congratulations to the couple on their marriage. It was nice to walk around downtown Tampa with them and take some pics🫶🏻 . . . . . #elopement #elopementphotography #tampawedding #tampaweddingphotographer #stpeteweddingphotographer #clearwaterweddingphotographer #tampaphotographer #stpetephotographer #clearwaterphotographer #nikonusa #nikonphotography
