Saying I do


Courtney and Brad’s intimate elopement took place near the Vermont border, surrounded by the stunning fall colors of Upstate New York in October. It was the perfect backdrop for a day filled with laughter and love. We found a quiet clearing by the Batten Kill River surrounded by trees. The sunlight peeked through the leaves and created a magical glow around them. They exchanged vows, it was a sweet and personal moment.

As a wedding photographer based in Saratoga Springs and NYC, I love capturing elopements like this, relaxed, intentional, and deeply personal. It’s all about celebrating love and it truly shined through with Courtney and Brad. It was the perfect reminder of why I do what I do, documenting real moments that feel timeless and natural.
