I am a Long Island based Wedding & Portrait Photographer that loves a good adventure. I'm the guy who just truly enjoys being behind a camera.
I definitely think I got into photography because my Mom always was behind a camera. Most of the time she was the team Mom, and was frequently seen on the sidelines snapping photos of everything she could. It was her interest in photography that led me to appreciate what it takes to create a beautiful photograph.
I appreciate the art of photojournalism. I went to school to be a documentary filmmaker, but soon after I realized I loved the still side of the camera more than the motion side. It was there that I learned how to capture candid, unforced moments and give images life. Candid moments are truly the best moments.
When I'm not behind the camera you can find me enjoying every day life with my incredible family and our pup, hanging on the south shore or playing video games.

Read the full storyIf 2020 was the year of wedding-postponement misery, 2021 was the year of sweet, sweet delayed gratification — of long-planned events finally coming to fruition and bursting out of every venue that could possibly host one.
Photographers bore witness to 2021 weddings in all their cathartic, frenetic, superspreading glory — the “craziest wedding year of all time,” Cassara says.
