I don’t just photograph weddings

The pictures on my website often feature iconic wedding images with muted colors, but a big portion of my work is the opposite. Saturated, fun, and sometimes cocktail-infused candids at parties. I photograph parties all night long. And there are so many parties in New York, my work is never ending.

Event photography in New York City is really about reading the room, knowing when to stay invisible, when to grab a quick posed group shot, and when the energy is just right for a candid moment. From cocktail parties and fundraisers to birthdays, brand launches, and low-key corporate celebrations, the goal is always photos that feel alive, not staged.

NYC Event Photography Style — Vibrant Color and Energy

My approach is simple: capture people in the most candid moment, move quickly and never interrupt the vibe. The result is coverage that feels real, raw, and very “New York” the kind of images you’ll want to share the next day. And when I say events, I put them in a different category than weddings. These are parties, fundraisers and galas, family get-togethers, birthdays, you name it.
