Last weekend, I flew up to New York City for Emily + Jon’s engagement session. This was a very special session for me because I’ve known Emily for over 4 years now. I first met her when her brother Brendan married Francesca back in 2014. Emily was a bridesmaid in that wedding and she also happens to be best friends with Francesca’s sister, Nola, whose engagement session I photographed in NYC back in 2014 as well. I feel like I’m part of the extended Whalen-Seta family now, so I was THRILLED when Emily asked me to photograph her wedding next fall!
I absolutely LOVE traveling so when Emily + Jon suggested doing their engagement session in their hometown of NYC, it was an immediate YES!!! Together, they chose some amazing spots around the city, including the Conservatory Garden, the Bethesda Terrace area in Central, the steps of The Met, and some cute residential areas on the Upper East Side. Although there was a light rain all day, the weather was actually great. The light was PERFECT and the rain allowed us to grab some INCREDIBLE photos on the steps of The Met since no one was really sitting on the wet steps. THANK YOU Mother Nature!!
I cannot wait for Emily + Jon’s wedding next year in St. Augustine, but for now, please enjoy some of my favorites from their fabulous engagement session in New York City…

When Martha Camille told me that she wanted to recreate her mother’s studio bridal portraits, I’ll admit… I was a little hesitant. I’ve never done studio bridal portraits before and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to bring her vision to life. As a creative, I love doing things that are outside of […]

I feel extremely lucky that I was able to experience such a tremendous year of growth and travel. Here are some of […]
This colorful winter wedding at Sea Pines Resort was the perfect way to start 2024. On one of the coldest days of the year, Caitlyn + Mark said “I do!” on the iconic 18th lawn at Harbourtown Links, overlooking the Calibogue Sound. Surrounded by their closest family + friends, their day was everything that Caitlyn […]
When I first started second shooting in 2011, I’ll admit… I had NO IDEA what I was doing. I was pretty good with my camera, technically. I could shoot in manual mode and had some understanding of flash. However, I wasn’t entirely sure of my role as a second shooter and had no idea exactly […]
Lowndes Grove is a magical venue for romantic bridal portraits. The house is bathed in gorgeous light, thanks to the large windows throughout. It has plenty of indoor space that you can use in case of inclement weather. The rooms are beautifully decorated in a classic style that complements the overall aesthetic of the property. […]
This post may be a year late, BUT I wanted to share some of my favorite wedding and engagement photos from 2022. It’s always such a treat to go back and see all of the amazing weddings I’ve been lucky enough to be a part of – and all of the amazing couples I’ve worked […]
