However small you want to keep it

Elopements and small weddings across upstate New York, photographed as the day actually runs rather than staged around a shot list.

Two ways to do this

Some couples want a morning on a ridge with two witnesses. Others want the whole day, just without the parts nobody enjoys. Both are below — start wherever sounds more like you.

A day like this should not be run to a stopwatch. The point is having enough room in it that you are not thinking about the schedule.

Whether that is an hour at first light or a full day that ends somewhere you had to walk to, both of these are built around the light and the drive, not a template.

01. Close to Home

For couples staying within reach of Saratoga

Half a day, one or two locations, and enough time to actually stand still after the vows. Best for couples who want the day to feel unhurried without turning it into a production.

From $1,750

02. The Whole Day, Properly

For couples heading further into the Adirondacks

A full day with room to drive, change, walk out to somewhere worth the effort, and stay until the light is gone. This is the one for couples who want the day to be the trip, not an event.

From $2,800

How a day with me actually runs

From the first message to the gallery landing in your inbox

01. A call, before anything else

Twenty minutes to hear what you are picturing, and to say honestly whether I think it works.

02. Build the day backwards

We start at sunset and work back from it, so the light lands where it matters instead of wherever the schedule left it.

03. Answers when you need them

Permits, drive times, what happens if it rains. I have done this in most of these places and I will tell you what I actually think.

04. On the day, I stay out of it

A little direction early on so nobody feels stranded, then I get out of the way and let the day happen.

05. The gallery, in three weeks

A handful of previews within a couple of days, then the full hand-edited gallery in three weeks, with a print release.

Here is what my couples have had to say about their own cinematic experience…

“We eloped on a Tuesday with two friends and a thermos. It rained for most of it. I have never seen photographs that felt more like being there.”

No date, no venue, no plan?

That is where most of my couples start.

You do not need a timeline or a location picked out. Tell me the rough month and how many people are coming, and I will tell you what is realistic and what I would do in your position.
