✹ You should feel seen.
✹ You should feel joy.
✹ You should feel gorgeous.
✹ You should feel like yourself.
✹ Your experience in front of the camera is as valuable as the photos.
Although me and my camera live in Manhattan in NYC, we bring our blend of documentary and editorial style to weddings and events everywhere across the five boroughs, from New England to California, and around the world.
I believe:
I’m going to affirm your love, make you feel like a total rockstar, bust a move on the dance floor — and take so many gorgeous photos of y’all, obvs.
Hey there! I’m Justin, and I’m not just a wedding photographer.
The technique may be old school, but you’ve never looked cooler
Micro-weddings, city hall marriages and elopements are the margarita mix – distilled, powerful, and a damn good time.
From popping the question to save the dates, you and your boo deserve to look gorgeous
These cuties made it official at the dopest love parties and celebrations literally ever
Seriously though, I’m really proud of capturing these moments.
Oh, I bet you want to see my portfolio!
✹ Rebuke what society dictates and do what they want
✹ Prioritize their community and give back to it
✹ Celebrate people of all sexualities, gender identities and expressions, races, body types, ages, religions, cultures and abilities
✹ Dance like nobody's watching, even when they might feel a little uncomfortable in front of the camera
I’m so lucky to work with the best clients ever who:

Justin is genuinely friendly and great at helping you feel secure and confident in having the type of wedding you want most (and then swooping in and capturing it all.)
Justin is a rockstar at helping his clients feel relaxed and feel like they’re able to be themselves in front of a camera. I was able to enjoy being in the moment, and as a chronic overthinker, that’s priceless.
The gallery is authentic, romantic, silly and just so US!”
As someone who feels extremely awkward in front of a camera, it was crucial to have someone who helped us feel natural.

What stood out for us the most is how vibrant Justin is while taking portraits--he's so supportive, COMMITTED (he almost fell in a pond trying to get THE SHOT), and fun that we're grinning like idiots in every photo.
Then he disappears in the background, and you just live your life, experience your wedding, and every meaningful, loving moment of the day is impeccably captured without a single pose.”
My husband and I hate taking photos, but Justin made us feel so comfortable.
"
– Allie and Tom
The Knot/WeddingWire
He does his homework and really learns about the couple, their friends and family so that he can both work efficiently and make everyone feel like they’re working with a friend.
Our full set of wedding photos were magical. There are so many and they are all perfect!!”
He’s generous with his time, has a great eye for beautiful and unique shots and is always ready with a joke or an idea to diffuse any potential stressful situations.
"
– Anna and Pedro
The Knot/WeddingWire
He is so talented (as his portfolio shows), has the best energy both before and day of, and is so inclusive.
He handled our big loud crazy families so well, and somehow managed to be everywhere at once while blending right in with the party."
If you are looking for a sign to hire Justin, this is it!
"
– Carly and Aaron
Google/The Knot/WeddingWire
He went above and beyond getting to know my fiancée in depth. Our family and friends LOVED him on the wedding day and several want to hire him for their weddings!
And the photos are so amazing - we are so thrilled with how everything came out!"
In a city with seemingly millions of wedding photographers, Justin is unique because he really gets to know every couple.
"
– Roxanne and Melanie
Google/The Knot/WeddingWire
He found the absolute best locations for us to take posed pictures and he also captured the most fantastic candid moments. I truly don’t know how he was able to be everywhere at once.
He is so hilarious and fun to be around it made the pictures and our smiles that much more genuine. I truly truly cannot say enough good things about him."
Justin’s photography is fantastic — he is a true, trained professional. The photos from our wedding day exceeded all of our expectations.
"
– Colin and Sara
The Knot
Justin was somehow everywhere and nowhere. A random family member would ask us for a photo in the corner of our venue and Justin would appear, set us up for a photo and then disappear.
He respected our wanting to be with family and friends as much as possible and took the photos he needed quickly and efficiently. You won't find a better photographer."
Of course we wanted beautiful images of our wedding (which he exceeded our expectations) but we also wanted someone with social grace.
"
– Carolyn and Andrew
Google/The Knot/WeddingWire
He makes everyone comfortable in front of the camera. We look like we belong in a magazine photoshoot (and we definitely just look like regular people the rest of the time).
But best of all, Justin is such a fun presence that we can't imagine our wedding without him!"
Justin is hands-down the best wedding photographer!
"
– Abby and Calder
The Knot/Facebook
The secret? A combination of ridiculous jokes, an infectious enthusiasm for creative opportunities with light, scenery, and poses, and lots and lots of meticulous planning.
We could literally go on and on about how wonderful and caring and talented Justin is, but we’ll let the fact that we have hired him for 4 shoots already stand as testament to his quality."
Justin is a certified grade-A superstar. How he is able to capture such stunning and authentic moments of joy and love.

He was everything we could have ever hoped for, and more. Not only was he a constant source of calm, support, kindness, and humor from the second he showed up till the second he left, but he captured the most incredible moments.
His candid photos managed to pick up on such subtle nuances that make me laugh and cry."
When I look back on our wedding day, I can’t help but recognize how god damn lucky we were to have picked Justin as our photographer.

While his photos are undeniably beautiful in every way, it is Justin’s personality, humor, flexibility, professionalism, and panache that set him apart from all the rest. From day one, we knew we were in excellent and expert hands.
He took the time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple, which allowed us to have a seamless relationship (and friendship!) by the time we actually stood in front of his camera on our wedding day."
Simply put, Justin is the BEST of the BEST.

Blink-and-you-miss-them moments like the belly laugh after a joke, the joy of dancing with old friends, and the most meaningful of shared glances.
Justin managed to bottle the full range of emotions of our day and lay them out in stunning detail so we can relive it over and over again."
In addition to his great eye for staging Justin has a way of capturing moments of beauty you didn't even know were there.
"
– Brad and AJ
Facebook/The Knot
Posed shots were arranged without ever disrupting the flow of the event, candids were oh-so romantic, and he captured so many moments of band-playing boogie-down dancing fun!"
There is not a single important moment that Justin missed.

It was important to me to work with someone who both had quality work, and who I knew would “get me” and I’d enjoy spending time with through the planning process and on the wedding day itself.
My partner is even more camera shy than me and after the wedding he commented on what a joy it was to work with Justin, because in setting up shots Justin encouraged us to just have fun and be ourselves. Nothing felt forced."
Hiring Justin was one of the easiest choices of the whole wedding planning process.
"
– Jean-Ann and Kiran
Zola/The Knot/WeddingWire
It was the calmest and happiest we felt all day. I don’t think of myself as particularly photogenic, but Justin made me feel like a model in our engagement and wedding photos.
He captured the exact vibe of our relationship and our wedding."
Whenever anyone asks what the best part of the wedding was, we tell them it was the 30 minutes we spent walking around our venue neighborhood with Justin.
"
– Johanna and John
Facebook/The Knot/WeddingWire
Justin made me feel safe the whole time we worked together and the photos capture our personalities and our love beautifully.
If you hire Justin you will not regret it. You will end up with a wedding day that is better because he is there AND you'll get rad pictures to remember how awesome the day was."
I am not someone who feels comfortable being photographed and I had a lot of anxiety (to the point of tears) as I considered having to be so vulnerable on my wedding day.
"
– Cecilia and Ron
The Knot
He has this way of making being photographed feel effortless – and trust me I know what I'm talking about because in the seven years of being with my husband not once could I get him to look as natural in photographs as Justin was able to.
Simply put, he is gifted and incredible."
Justin MADE my wedding. His work has and continues to leave me breathless.
"
– Anca and Kayla
The Knot/WeddingWire
Obviously we love him, but more importantly, so many of our guests and ALL of our other vendors complimented him too!
They said he was the best photographer they had worked with, and our guests commented on how un-intrusive and friendly he was. Justin is the best. You will be lucky to hire him."
Justin. is. perfect. We looked forever for a photographer with his style, and we could not have been luckier to find him.
"
– Sarah and Joe
WeddingWire
THANK GOD. He made our pictures beautiful, honest, and fun! If you want traditional and boring, don't hire Justin.
If you want fabulous and fun, you better email him right now."
Justin is not a body-shuffling, Pinterest-loving, prom-photo-taking photographer like some others I've encountered over the years.
"
– Ben and Paul
The Knot/WeddingWire
With both our engagement photo shoot and our wedding he captured beautiful, intimate moments that instantly take us back to that special time.
He is truly an artist and his photos read like a spread in Vanity Fair: he made us feel like supermodels!"
Justin was the gold medalist out of a team of winning wedding vendors.

as seen in
I am so honored to be one of four vendors nationwide who were selected to star in The Knot’s new marketing campaign celebrating all types of weddings and couples and their vendor marketplace.
Oh, I was also featured
in The Knot's first ever
commercial y'all!
By prioritizing personality over poses, we’ll get natural images that are authentic and unique to you.
When I say I want to get to know you, I like actually mean it. I have a personal approach to wedding photography, meaning that the connection between us is incredibly important.
After a discovery call and making it official with a contract, we’ll spend time chatting on Zoom, grabbing a drink, or gabbing over brunch. I love coming along on site visits and talking through wedding planning hurdles along the way.
When it comes to the big day, you’ll feel comfortable being your truest self around me – and I’ll know your silliest inside jokes and how you show affection towards one another.
You won’t worry about being in front of the camera when you’re vibing with the person behind it.
If this clicks with you, and you also really care about making sure we’ll work well together, let’s find a time to chat and go over all your photography needs.
