Even though it’s officially spring as of March 20, it’s not really spring until the cherry blossoms start blooming in NYC. New York City in spring is absolutely magical! With the warmer weather comes an extra pep in your step. Seeing cherry blossoms in NYC in particular is a major draw for both locals and […]

The Best Places To See Cherry Blossoms In NYC!

Roosevelt Island is one of the best places to see cherry blossoms in NYC.

I had the opportunity to photograph not one, but two surprise proposals within a month of each other at the Italian restaurant, Palma, in New York City during the winter. It’s easily become my most frequented vendor since I’m there at least once a year. Both proposers had planned to pop the question to their […]

Photographing Romantic Proposals at Palma NYC

Photographing a surprise proposal at Tavern on the Green in NYC during the holidays is a truly special and romantic occasion. I always pass by Tavern on the Green when I’m at Central Park but never went inside. The holiday decorations there are such a cozy vibe! As a photographer, it’s always a privilege to […]

Photographing a Holiday Proposal at Tavern on the Green

When I tell you I was stunned when I stepped foot at 11 Hoyt Brooklyn, that’s an understatement. In August, I joined a group of invited photographers to an influencer event in Downtown Brooklyn that was hosted by Optimist Consulting and Corcoran Sunshine, part of the Corcoran Group. They have some of the most beautiful […]

A Central Park proposal in the summer is the epitome of romance in New York City! I had the pleasure of photographing Neil Cato and his (now) fiance, Emily Hamilton when they visited NYC from Texas over the July 4th weekend. Texans seem to love me because I worked with another couple that flew up […]

Central Park Proposal In The Summer

Following the completion of construction at 368 Third Avenue, I was invited to Vu New York to photograph the property, amenities and view. Coming back to this neighborhood was a literal walk down memory lane since it’s a few blocks away from where I went to college. The transformation of the area is absolutely astonishing, […]

Out of all the proposals I’ve photographed so far, this West Village rooftop engagement has got to be the most epic view so far! Is there anything better than a New York City sunset with the skyline? The biggest bonus was that both Jordan Zauderer and his (now) fiance, Casey was super photogenic! It’s amazing […]

Believe it or not, this phenomenon is not unique to New York City! In general, depending on the time of year and location, anything could technically be a sun-related henge. That being said, it’s always exciting to see the literal ball of sun so close through a social construct! As a New York City photographer, this is […]

The grandest gesture of love with these two! Their surprise proposal was captured during sunset in front of the famous Jane’s Carousel in Brooklyn with the epic Lower Manhattan skyline in the background. Prior to d-day, me and the (future) groom did a walkthrough of the location a few days before during a torrential downpour. […]

Since 2018, you might have seen on Instagram epic pictures of the sun directly in the center of the NYC grid. First coined by the astrophysicist, Neil deGrasse Tyson this phenomenon is called Manhattanhenge, and it’s when the setting sun can be seen aligning precisely between the buildings of Manhattan’s grid. When Is Manhattanhenge The […]
