I send my film out to Gelatin Labs in Maplewood, New Jersey.

Editing is where the magic happens. It’s the final step in making sure your wedding photos look exactly the way they’re meant to—timeless, emotive, and uniquely you. That’s why I choose Gelatin Labs for my film scans. They give me complete creative control, ensuring that every detail, from the warmth of golden hour light to the subtle richness in shadows, is preserved and ready for fine-tuning.

Film photography is beautiful straight out of the camera, but no scan is perfect right away. Even in the darkroom days, prints were adjusted for exposure, contrast, and color balance. The same principle applies to film scans—getting a quality scan means I can refine the image rather than fight against it.

Gelatin Labs offers Flat Tonality scans, which preserve the highlights, midtones, and shadows without locking in a specific look. This means I can edit each image to match the authentic tones of your wedding day instead of being stuck with a one-size-fits-all scan. They also provide high-resolution TIFF files, which store way more color and detail than standard JPEGs, ensuring that the final edits are rich, natural, and true to the original scene.

What this means for you

When you invest in wedding photography, you're investing in more than just a moment in time—you’re trusting me to tell your story with care and artistry. The edits I make aren’t about changing reality but about refining and enhancing the beauty that’s already there. By using professional-grade scans, I can deliver images that truly reflect the depth and emotion of your wedding day.

To show just how important this is, I’ll be sharing side-by-side comparisons of unedited vs. edited scans. These examples highlight why quality film scanning and thoughtful editing matter—and why investing in professional wedding photography is worth it.

Your wedding photos should feel as timeless as your love. That’s why I use Gelatin Labs.

A signed contract and a 50% non-refundable retainer secure your date. The remaining balance is due before the start of the event. The exact due date will be outlined in your contract and may vary based on when you book.

I’m based in Connecticut, but I LOVE traveling and photographing love stories in beautiful, character-rich locations throughout New England and across the United States. You can see some of my dream destination locations listed above, and if you have somewhere special in mind, I’d love to hear about it.

Travel Fees: To keep things transparent and simple, travel is handled as follows:

• Local Travel: Weddings and sessions within 30 miles of my home base include no travel fee.

• Extended Driving: For locations beyond 30 miles, a $150 travel fee per additional hour of driving applies. This helps cover time, mileage, and wear on equipment.

• Destination Weddings & Elopements: For destinations requiring airfare, custom pricing is provided. Couples simply cover travel and lodging, allowing me to focus fully on creating thoughtful, nostalgic, documentary-style images. All destination travel costs are discussed and approved in advance — no surprises.

If you’re unsure how travel applies to your location, I’m always happy to walk you through the details during the planning process.

Because I photograph small intimate weddings and elopements, I typically shoot solo. However, if you’d like a second photographer for additional coverage, I can arrange that for an additional fee.

Rain can add beautiful, cinematic elements to your photos! However, if needed, we’ll create a backup plan for portraits or adjust our timeline to work around the weather.

Galleries are delivered in 6-8 weeks.

• Large Event Fee: A large event fee of $1,000 applies to weddings with over 50 guests. I intentionally keep weddings intimate (under 100 guests) to maintain a relaxed, documentary approach. This fee helps cover additional coordination, film volume, and extended editing time.

• Polaroids: Add Polaroids to any package for $300. Includes 10 Polaroids, high-resolution digital scans, and the physical Polaroids mailed to you after the wedding.

• Film Scanning Options (Optional): All film packages include professional lab development and Pro-level scans, which are ideal for online sharing, prints, and albums. For couples who want maximum image detail or archival-quality files, optional upgrades are available:

  • Super-Pro Scanning: (higher resolution, maximum detail)
    Available for an additional per-roll fee (pricing varies based on current lab rates)

  • Contact Sheets: Optional contact sheets showing every frame on each roll
    Available for an additional per-roll fee

  • If you’re interested in upgrading your scans or adding contact sheets, I’ll walk you through the options after your wedding and confirm pricing before film is sent to the lab. Any scan upgrades must be approved and paid for prior to development.

  • Not sure which scan option you need? Don’t worry! Most couples are perfectly happy with Pro scans, and I’m always happy to advise if an upgrade makes sense for your goals.

• Travel Fees

  I’m based in Connecticut, but I love traveling throughout New England and beyond to photograph weddings, micro-weddings, elopements, and engagement sessions.

  • Local Travel: Weddings and sessions within 30 miles of my home base include no travel fee. For locations beyond 30 miles, a $150 travel fee per additional hour of driving applies. This helps cover time, mileage, and wear on equipment.

  • Destination Weddings & Elopements: For destinations requiring airfare, custom pricing is provided. Couples simply cover travel and lodging, allowing me to focus fully on creating thoughtful, nostalgic, documentary-style images. All destination travel costs are discussed and approved in advance — no surprises.

The best way to tell if we’re a good match is whether my approach feels like your ✨vibe✨.

For each photography session, I show up as your professional friend with a camera. I’m there to observe, keep things calm and comfortable, capture the joy and the in-between moments, and give you breathing room to actually be present and enjoy your day.

We’ll be an excellent match if you want:

• Film-forward, documentary-style photos

• A calm, unhurried experience

• Natural moments over heavy posing

• Small weddings, micro-weddings, and elopements with an intimate feel

Not the best fit if you want:

• A heavily posed, editorial-only shoot

• A fast-paced, “photo list all day” vibe

• Full-day coverage for 150+ guests

A quick note about “Pinterest” photos: The photos I capture are true to you. Nothing can be recreated perfectly, nor should it be. I observe the day and photograph moments as I see them unfold in front of me. If you’d like to send over your Pinterest inspiration boards, I can tell you if I photograph in a similar style. However, the best way to know if you’ll love your final gallery is if you already love the images on this page, the galleries under Recent Work, and the photos in my portfolio.

If you’re not sure if we’re a match or not, that’s okay — reach out anyway! I’m always happy to chat and help you figure out what coverage makes the most sense for your day. I want both of us to feel comfortable so you can have the best experience possible.
