Micro Wedding Photography in Tribeca
Celebrating love through beautifully candid wedding photography.
Tribeca offers the perfect backdrop for a micro wedding, from chic loft spaces and candlelit restaurants to rooftops with stunning skyline views. That freedom to personalize every detail makes these smaller weddings so meaningful. If you’re planning an intimate Tribeca celebration and love the idea of genuine, emotional photography, I’d love to connect.
As a documentary photographer, I take a hands-off approach. I observe quietly and allow every moment to unfold just as it happens. In a smaller setting, the focus should always remain on your story. My method ensures your ceremony and the connection between you and your guests are captured with honesty and warmth.
My Approach
to Documentary-Style
Wedding Photography
Documentary wedding photography captures the story of your wedding exactly as it unfolds, making it an ideal style for micro weddings. With smaller guest lists and more personal settings, each emotion feels heightened; the quiet moments, joyful laughter, and subtle glances that speak volumes about your bond.
My approach is gentle and observant, allowing events to progress naturally without intervention. I prefer to blend into the background and document your day as it truly is. Couples often tell me that this style helps them feel at ease and completely engaged with their loved ones. The resulting images reflect the warmth, beauty, and emotion of your celebration.
Micro weddings often carry a distinct energy that I’m careful to honor, whether the day is filled with laughter or quiet reflection. To ensure that each couple receives the highest level of focus and care, I only accept a small number of weddings each year.
