We’ve been really quiet over here, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been busy!!

It was such an honor to capture Theresa’s Sweet 16!! Working with some of my favorite vendors made the night unforgettable for this princess! Every detail was perfection!

Camdyn's Sweet 17! A long awaited party for a special girl! COVID may have delayed the celebration, but I promise you, Camdyn was surrounded by family and friends and boy did they have the time of their lives!

Hey Facebook!!

Wow!! We've been a little quiet over here but that doesn't mean we haven't been busy!! Taking on 2 years worth of work since the Pandemic has certainly made it a crazy year, that social media has had to take a little bit of a back seat! BUT WE'RE BACK!!

Here's some favorites from Nahyma's Sweet 16 at Essex Club !

Jessica's sweet 16 was super unique! Her party was on a boat! 😍😍 Here are some of the highlights from the day!

Happy one year anniversary to these two love birds!! 😍😍 Victoria Mussillo Peter J Mussillo ❤️❤️

Always nice to meet new vendors! 😍😍 And she's right! I've been loving all the micro weddings I've been lucky enough to photograph this year!

Micro weddings are very popular this year. They allow you to be creative with where you choose to exchange your vows. This couple knew they wanted to get married on . They have spent much of their relationship at, near, or in the water there.

Tip: Try to choose a place that hold a special meaning in your relationship. With smaller guest counts, you can get married almost anywhere.

Friday nights wedding was so special to me. I've known Courtney since she was younger, and I feel so incredibly honored that she asked me to capture her wedding! From the intimate ceremony at Gilgo Beach, to the backyard being decorated with some dreamy twinkle lights... It was perfect. Congratulations Courtney and Sandy!! 😍😍 I can't wait to see what the future holds for you two!

Celebrated Julia's sweet 16 finally! Backyard perfection for this Cinderella!! Thank you Kelly Mikucki Dittmer for letting me capture this for your family!

Back to work! Alexa's bridal shower yesterday was blessed with a beautiful day! Beach Club Estate did everything they could to follow protocol, and it made me feel safer being at a venue again! They were attentive and fantastic! All decor was made and designed by Event Extras designed by Erin!

Alexa and Vinny had to reschedule their wedding due to COVID-19, but are absolutely looking forward to celebrating now, more then ever. Showers of happiness Alexa!

Really missing weddings and events at my favorite venues, BUT! These backyard weddings have been fun too! It's a nice little change of pace. Here's some more favorites from Stephani Ohara & Joe O'Hara's backyard wedding reception!

Trying to keep Facebook filled with pretty things and positivity. This too shall pass.

Here’s some favorites from one of the last Sweet 16’s shot before this craziness began. Support small businesses, show some love! ❤️❤️

Venue: Smithtown Landing Country Club

I know everyone has been busy with this virus smacking us in the face with this quarantine. Jobs and schools are shut down, and everything remains uncertain.
The only thing this workaholic Mom is grateful for - slowing down and getting to spend time with my daughter. Time I had been desperately missing.
Today we did some finger painting to try and bring some color back in our lives.
To my couples and events: if anyone needs help with rescheduling, please reach out! We’re in this together!! ❤️❤️

We had a great time with Alessandra for her Sweet 16 at the beautiful Watermill Caterers!! Alessandra and her family were so much fun to work with! Even her brother was willing to do a super cool choreographed dance right after their entrance!

I still have so much work from 2019 to share! Another summer Sweet 16, this white gown was gorgeous! Not to mention that golden summer sunlight! 😍😍 Of course at one of my favorite venues... Watermill Caterers

Here we come 2020! Here's some favorites from our first Sweet 16 of the year!

Crowd surfing at your sweet 16? YES PLEASE.
Also thinking warm thoughts back to some of our summer events! I enjoy some snow here and there, but there's nothing like that summer glow on each Sweet 16 princess I get to photograph!
Venue: Verdi's of Westbury

It's no secret that I LOVE Sweet 16's! I love helping these girls feel like a princess, and capturing the whole night for them to remember. 👑🎂

Time to recap some favorites from the summer!

Venue: The Waterview

I've been beyond blessed this year to have amazing clients AND friends in this industry. These two are on their honeymoon right now!! Victoria and Pete, I hope you are having the most amazing time!!!!
P.s.... throwing sprinkles as you exit the church? Gets you fun images like these. We'll have a great time if you let me tag along on your wedding day, I promise! 😜🙂

I'm the worst with social media when it comes to posting new work!
But here's an emerald sweet 16 princess from earlier in the summer! What a great color combination for the stunning backdrop of The Piermont!

Surprise Proposal at Cowfish Hampton Bays!! It was SO special beyond words to be able to witness and capture this long awaited moment for Christian and Amanda! She said YES! In case you were wondering 😍😜💍

Another sweet 16 in the books! These kids partied ALL night! The staff at The Hamlet Golf & Country Club were amazing to work with as well!

The spring weather these past two days has me running out the door in short sleeves!! to a wedding from last fall full of green and flowery happiness!
What are you looking forward to this spring?!

This Sweet 16 beauty closed out 2018 for me! I am slacking on posts, but this year will be full of so much professional growth! The busy season is starting and I can't wait to see what is in store for this year!

2019 I'm ready for you!! Finally updated my business cards with the help of a good friend Melissa Marie Imagery ! Check out these bad boys!!

Colleen's sweet 16 was a blast! She's so incredibly creative, she made the table centerpieces all by herself! And each accent matched her Royal blue color scheme perfectly! Let's not forget, In The Mood DJ Productions kept the dance floor packed ALL night!

This beautiful little lady just celebrated her first birthday!! Happy Birthday Charlie!! We hope you had a great day!! It's so amazing watching my newborn clients grow! Thanks for coming back Britt Kris and Ian!

I'll just leave this right here for my Taco Bell lovers!!

OMG 😂🌮❤️

"Sunsets are proof that no matter what happens, everyday can end beautifully."

While getting ready for Danielle and Howard's wedding, it was pouring!! And I mean quiet literally raining cats and dogs!! Luckily the sky cleared just in time for their ceremony, and the evening ended with this gorgeous sunset. The sky was on fire, just like their love for each other ❤️❤️

I'm a little late, but it took me at least a month to figure out what i could say to summarize this incredible couple. Danni Cara and Anthony LoPiccolo got married at Sunset Harbour back in the beginning of September!! Their day was beyond gorgeous, filled with love and TONS of dancing! Dannielle put so much thought into every detail, from the DIY centerpieces, to the game table, to the memorial table... Not one detail spared! Who can forget that awesome cake made by Nathaly!! Thank you so much for trusting me with your day, i wish you guys nothing but love and tons of laughter for years to come!!!

Here's some favorites from a very special maternity session for Jamie Lynn Straus and Artie Straus!! These guys have been long time friends and i cannot wait to see what great parents you are about to become!! Thank you for letting me capture a brief moment in your newest adventure!! ❤

Gown by Chicaboo

Every girl should get to feel like a princess for their Sweet 16. Cameron and her friends and family celebrated Windows on the Lake. Her court was dressed like royalty and detail was covered in glitter! Another Cinderella dream come true for this young lady!

Channeling the warm air vibes this morning, featuring this Beach styled wedding at Danford's! Karen and Rob had a gloomy day, but you certainly couldn't tell with the visible love beaming from their faces. Karen was meticulous and incredibly talented, she created all of the centerpieces, the elaborately detailed card box, as well as hand decorated the favors! My favorite DIY Bride to date!

I feel like red and blues were the shades of the summer for this years sweet 16's!! Another beautiful young lady in red that i got to celebrate with at Colonial Springs Golf Club! Arianna had such an amazing personality, and a fun group of family members, they danced all night long till the very last song!!
