Inquire About Your Day

My approach to wedding photography blends an editorial perspective with the nuance of fine-art imagery. I'm drawn to thoughtful composition, beautiful light, architecture, and the unscripted moments that give each wedding its character. Whether documenting an intimate celebration or a full wedding weekend, I create imagery that feels considered, expressive, and true to the atmosphere of the day.

Based in the Hudson Valley, I photograph weddings throughout the Hudson Valley and Catskills, working with couples from New York City and beyond who are drawn to the region's distinctive venues, landscapes, and understated elegance. My approach is collaborative and intentional, balancing art direction with the freedom for genuine moments to unfold.

MORE OF YOU
LESS OF Me.

I 'm Summer- a wife and mother. I like lazy Saturday mornings with a cup of coffee. I prefer nights on the couch with my family, but also enjoy craft beers and apps in a swanky bar. I love being outdoors and I'm eternally grateful I get to experience all four seasons! I dig personal touches & homemade items over commercial goods. Admittedly, I also love shopping on Amazon Prime.
