How I Infuse Fashion Photography into Weddings and Make Couple Look Like a Professional Models
Capturing Timeless Moments: The Art of New York Wedding Photography
When it comes to wedding photography, New York City provides a backdrop like no other. From its iconic skyline to charming parks, historic landmarks, and luxurious venues, New York sets the stage for unforgettable moments. As a New York wedding photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing countless love stories in the most breathtaking settings this city offers.
Yet, when it comes to fashion wedding photography, capturing the magic of your day isn’t just about snapping moments—it’s about creating art that tells a story and leaves you breathless every time you look back on it. As a wedding photographer with a background in fashion photography, I bring a unique edge to every celebration. My goal? To make you and your partner look and feel like professional models starring in the most glamorous shoot of your lives. There are only a select few photographers that can pull this off and it takes creative experience by working in both industries.

Here’s how I blend the world of high fashion with heartfelt weddings to create unforgettable images:
1. Lighting Like a Fashion Pro
In fashion photography, lighting is everything and making the lighting look natural. From soft, natural dreamy light that highlights your best features to dramatic shadows that add depth and mood, I use techniques straight out of the fashion industry to ensure every shot is exquisite. Whether it’s a natural glow from the golden hour or bold off-camera lighting setups during your reception, I make sure the lighting enhances your elegance and sophistication.
2. Guided Mentoring and Coaching with Confidence
Most people aren’t professional models—and that’s okay! It also takes practice and repetition to have a fashion look in front of a camera. I specialize in making you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. My guided and coaching techniques ensure you look natural yet polished. From finding your best angles to creating dynamic compositions, I’ll direct you like a fashion photographer would, ensuring every image is a masterpiece worthy of a magazine cover.
3. High-End Editorial Style
Think of your wedding album as your personal Vogue spread. My photography leans heavily into the editorial style, combining candid moments with staged shots that look like they were pulled from the pages of a luxury bridal magazine. I focus on the details—your dress, your bouquet, the way the light hits your face—to create stunning images with an elevated aesthetic.
4. Attention to Detail: The Runway Look
From fixing your veil mid-shot to ensuring the groom’s tie is perfectly straight, I keep an eye on the small details that make a big difference. This meticulousness comes from my experience in fashion photography, where every element contributes to the final image. You’ll look flawless, down to the last detail.
5. Storytelling with Glamour
While fashion photography often focuses on selling a product, my goal is to tell your unique love story—but with a glamorous twist. Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and I aim to immortalize it in a way that feels timeless, cinematic, and deeply personal. The result? Images that don’t just document your wedding but elevate it to an artistic experience.
6. Locations Turned Runways
Whether it’s the cobblestone streets of Tribeca, the iconic Unisphere at the Queens Museum, or the breathtaking cliffs of Positano, I approach each location as if it’s a fashion shoot. By incorporating dynamic backdrops and creative framing, I transform ordinary settings into extraordinary scenes that enhance your beauty and style.
7. A Collaborative Experience
Great photography is a partnership. I work closely with you to understand your vision and comfort level, ensuring you feel seen and celebrated in every shot. Whether you dream of bold, dramatic portraits or soft, romantic candids, I bring your vision to life with a touch of fashion flair.
