Micro Wedding Photography in The Bronx
Capturing the emotion, connection, and magic of your wedding day.
A micro wedding in The Bronx can be held anywhere; a favorite restaurant, a garden terrace, a rooftop, or even your own home. That freedom makes each celebration deeply personal. If you’re planning an intimate wedding and want photos that feel honest and full of emotion, I’d love to connect.
As a documentary photographer, I avoid directing or posing. Instead, I stay in the background and let moments unfold as they will. At a smaller Bronx wedding, your day should feel relaxed and authentic. My approach keeps the focus on your ceremony, your story, and the people who matter most to you.
My Approach
to Documentary-Style
Wedding Photography
Documentary wedding photography tells your love story as it naturally unfolds, making it an ideal choice for micro weddings. These intimate celebrations reveal the true essence of your relationship, from spontaneous laughter and quiet emotions to the tender gestures that define your connection.
My style is calm, observant, and unobtrusive. I don’t direct or interrupt; instead, I allow events to evolve naturally and capture them as they are. The photographs that result feel authentic and full of emotion. Couples often express that my presence helps them feel grounded and free to experience their day wholeheartedly.
Because micro weddings carry an emotional depth that deserves thoughtful attention, I photograph in harmony with the pace and energy of your celebration. By taking on a limited number of weddings each year, I can provide every couple with the time, focus, and care their story truly deserves.
Honest Photos That Tell Your Unique Wedding Story
Along with micro weddings, I document love stories in many different environments and settings. The galleries below feature a selection of weddings I’ve photographed, offering a brief view into the beauty and diversity of my work.
