Paper Factory Hotel - NY

A radio manufacturing factory in the 1920s turned paper factory in the 1970's, this industrial boutique hotel has quite a bit of history behind it and a fitting location for this New York City couple.  Julia and David's story began in 2005 when Julia first moved to New York City from California.  Who knew that she would meet her future husband upon arriving in the bustling city?  Well, she let nine years go by before realizing it herself, after rekindling a friendship with David that quickly turned into love.  These two performing artists chose the Paper Factory Hotel to start their next chapter, with a timeless wedding surrounded by their boisterous friends and family (including a one of a kind rendition of the opening of Alexander Hamilton by her sister as a tribute to their history).  A bit of rain on the horizon, the hotel was able to accommodate a quick turnaround from an outside ceremony to an intimate indoor moment for the couple and guests, followed by a night of revelry in the dimly lit speakeasy lounge, reminiscent of a time when Prohibition ruled and love reigned the night.

Julia + David

Central Park, NY

Revisiting an Autumn adventure in Central Park with these two gems, reminds me just how lucky I am to get to capture their wedding day this weekend in NYC.  A rekindled love, the two met years ago when Julia first moved to New York City.  While the two hit it off upon meeting, life got in the way and it wasn't until nine years later that their friendship + love took off and they have yet to look back.  I'm thrilled for their next big adventure as the two tie the knot in LIC this weekend!

Did I mention that Julia is an incredible actress and singer? Thought I would put that in there too as I'm a huge fan! Check her out!!

It's about inhabiting the story that you are bringing to life. Exploring the circumstance as if you have lived it, felt it, experienced it. The journey we all go on in life is greatly nuanced with chapters that continue to unfold until that final breath. Why should the characters we portray be any less than that which we have experienced and will continue to experience? I am a storyteller. A vessel that has been chosen to take you on an in-depth ride.
