Oceanside Family Photos at Silver Lake Park

Styling your entire family is no easy task, but this mama knocked it outta the park! All her boys were so handsome, and I loved the mix of cozy sweaters and different textures.

Wedding at The Waterview | Long Island Wedding Photographer

Intimate, romantic, and so, so special. That’s how I would describe this couple, and their wedding at The Waterview in Port Jefferson.  The ceremony was held on the deck, with a beautiful view of the Long Island Sound. The sun at just the right time, and then lit up the skyline with pinks, purples, and light […]
