Documentary Wedding Photographer in Brooklyn

A documentary wedding photographer observes with care, looking for truth rather than creating posed images. The goal is to reveal your wedding day exactly as it happens, filled with real laughter and emotion. In Brooklyn, I follow this philosophy for every wedding, becoming part of the background while capturing the raw, heartfelt moments that make your story shine.

Couples often discover that the photographs they love most are not the formal poses but the candid moments they never expected to be captured. That is the essence of documentary photography: allowing your wedding to speak for itself. Because your relationship is unique, your photos will reflect your individuality, creating a body of work that is deeply personal and meaningful for years to come.

Yes. Although my specialty is documentary photography, I dedicate time to take family group portraits. This usually requires no more than 15 to 20 minutes, ensuring you have those essential images while still prioritizing the natural flow of your celebration.

Your wedding day deserves to be lived fully rather than shaped by unnecessary instructions. What it really needs is someone who has the ability to see the unscripted beauty of each passing moment. That is my role, to be there capturing events as they happen naturally, without stepping in with outside ideas. For this reason, I do not direct the day. Instead, I document it with honesty and care. You should never feel that your wedding has turned into a performance or a stage show. My wish is that you think about photographs as little as possible, and instead immerse yourself in enjoying the people, the emotions, and the once-in-a-lifetime moments your day brings.

Yes. From the first look to the emotional vows and every heartfelt speech, I capture all of the significant events as they occur naturally, preserving their emotion and meaning.

Absolutely. I can travel to Brooklyn for weddings and also work with couples across the United States. I am also available for destination weddings internationally.

To begin, the best step is to send me your Brooklyn wedding date and location so I can check if I am available for that day. From there, we can arrange a time to talk through all the details, either with a simple phone call, a video chat, or even an in-person meeting if you prefer, so we can connect and discuss what matters most to you. A $200 non-refundable deposit is required in order to secure the date for your wedding. The remainder of the payment is then due no later than one month before your special day. If your Brooklyn wedding is being planned within a tighter time frame of less than one month, full payment will be needed at the time of booking.

Typically, you will receive your completed wedding images within four to six weeks. This timeframe gives me the opportunity to carefully go through every photograph and bring out the best qualities in each one, ensuring the final gallery feels consistent and polished. Once the editing is finished, I’ll provide you with an online gallery link where you’ll be able to view and share your images as you wish.

Yes, I am fully insured with both professional indemnity and public liability coverage. This protection ensures that you, your guests, and your chosen venue are safeguarded throughout the event. A certificate of insurance can be provided for the venue manager at any time, and I always encourage couples to ask the same of other vendors involved in their wedding day.

I approach wedding photography as a way of creating a visual story that reflects who you truly are as a couple. I do this by observing the raw, unscripted moments that naturally arise during your celebration. Every laugh, every joyful tear, and every unplanned interaction is captured and woven together into a narrative that feels honest and personal to your journey.
