My approach is built entirely around you, because no two love stories are the same.

I love meeting couples exactly where they are, with warmth and genuine care from our very first conversation and throughout the planning process! I capture real, unscripted moments through the warmth of film and the precision of digital, letting the day lead and stepping in with grace when the moment calls for it. Most importantly, I strive to make you feel comfortable so you can enjoy your day with ease.

Hi, I’m Lisa – your visual storyteller · NYC – Hudson Valley – Worldwide

Since 2014 I’ve been a professional photographer in many different industries across the art form, from dance competitions to press events, corporate headshots to editorial shoots. Weddings are by far my favorite because there’s nothing like the joy in capturing love stories across cultures, traditions, and legacies.
