Engagements & Proposals
Make this moment - forever. New York City photography grounded in love, sparked by spontaneity.

This isn’t just a photo session—it’s your love story, unfolding in real time.


Whether you're popping the question or capturing the season before "I do," I’m here to document the magic—no stiff poses, no forced smiles. Just the two of you, in your own love story made for the movies.

I come from a background in fashion, sport, and street photography—so I know how to catch movement, emotion, and those in-between moments. My style is where editorial meets in-the-moment. Cinematic with a surreal twist. Always grounded in your unique love.

 

 

For the ones planning to propose:

You made up your mind - they are the one. You’ve got the ring and the moment mapped out—or maybe not. Maybe a little nervous. Either way, I’ve got you. I’ll help plan out the logistics (location, timing, how to keep on the low down), but when the moment hits? I’m in the background, capturing it all like a quiet wingman with a camera.

You don’t have to be a model or know what to do in front of the lens—I’ve got a way of making even the most camera-shy folks feel at ease. It’s just us hanging out… with a little extra magic in the air.

 

 

 

For the ones newly engaged:

You’re riding that high, and you want to memorialize this moment forever. I am here to tell your story. This is where we lean into who you are as a couple—your vibe, your chemistry, your inside jokes. In Hong Kong,  you might of also might of hear it as Pre-Wedding photoshoot. 

Think less posing, more presence. We’ll shoot somewhere that makes sense to you—city streets, hidden spots, the place where you had your first date. After living in New York City for 10 years, I know the city well, so I’ve got plenty of spots in my back pocket, from iconic to under-the-radar. I’ll give direction when you need it, and disappear into the background when the moment takes over.
