The film above describes my approach to my work and why I am so passionate about capturing memories for every couple who resonates with my work. you can likely find me at a third wave coffee shop in New York City any day of the week, either working away, catching up with a friend, or spending sweet time with my husband Viet. Viet & I got married in our living room on 1.20.24 before celebrating our marriage on a cruise (I was just as surprised we did this as you probably are, lol) with 125 of our friends & family on 2.4.24! Those two weeks were full of so much laughter over celebratory amaro, & countless tears of joy. Yet, every day with him by my side just gets sweeter & sweeter. I am so grateful for the life we are building together in Brooklyn, & thankful for each of our couples who keep our love for this city fresh <3
As an intrinsically curious person, who has always had an adoration for love stories, I fuse my skill in observation with my passion for people to uniquely & authentically document every couple I work with. I ensure this personalization from the very beginning by having consultation calls as soon as you inquire, to meeting with you for an engagement session or a happy hour moment before your wedding day so I know what makes you, you, to being hands on in your planning process, & more in order to document your moments well on your wedding day.
LETS GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER
WHAT GIVES ME LIFE
III. THE THINGS I ADORE
Long Walks
Long walks have become a favorite pastime of mine. Not only is it a fantastic way to discover a new city or make an old city new, it also opens up my brain in ways few other activities do. Checking out undiscovered neighborhoods or simply wandering is how I find some of my treasured NYC establishments.
Coffee
If you are local to NYC can we PLEASE get an espresso tonic & discuss your vision in real life? That would be my biggest joy. Some of my favorite coffee shops in NYC include (but are not limited to): Land to Sea, The Coffee Project, Devoción, and Paloma.
Reading
If you follow me on TikTok or Instagram you know I like to read... a lot. My favorite authors are V.E. Schwab & R.F. Kuang, & when I am in the mood for a romance book, I love Ali Hazelwood & Emily Henry! If you have a favorite book PLEASE share it in your inquiry form. I am always looking for my next library request or bookshop splurge.
v. OUR LOVE
FILM & BEYOND
ME & MY
Love
Viet & I both prefer being behind the camera, so most weekends we take our film cameras out on the streets of NYC & every time we travel we have our film cameras in hand. A typical day for us looks like waking up at 8am, Viet making us black coffee in our French press, distracting each other for convos every once in a while as we both work from home, taking a mental health walk around McGolrick Park, & either eating dinner that Viet cooks for us, or heading to one of our favorite spots like Bánh Anh Em, Shin East, or The Snail.
