MEETING YOU WHERE LOVE TAKES YOU
I started traveling as a photographer back in 2016. It offers a window into diverse cultures, landscapes, and human experiences. Each destination presented a unique canvas for our collective creative vision.

Editorial & Fine Art Photography
Capturing light, feelings & moments and all the things in between people and life.
Hello there! I'm Theresa, a hopeless romantic whose heart beats for capturing love in its purest form. My journey with wedding photography began back in 2016, fueled by a desire to witness and preserve the depth and beauty of true love stories.
After two years of capturing weddings, I briefly shifted my focus to motherhood portraits, but my passion for immortalizing love drew me back. Elopements hold a special place in my heart because of their intimacy and spontaneity. I adore how couples embrace the present moment and celebrate their love in their own unique way.
My photography style is a fusion of romance, editorial, and fashion, with a keen eye for authentic emotion and genuine laughter. I take pride in creating images that resonate with the depth of my couples' feelings.
As a full-service elopement photographer based in vibrant New York City, I understand the intricacies of planning a wedding in such a bustling metropolis. Many couples choose NYC for its allure but may be unsure of the elopement process. That's where I come in—I offer personalized guidance, connections, and add-on services to ensure a seamless experience. And my commitment doesn't end with the ceremony—I'll help you create lifelong heirlooms to cherish and share with loved ones.
One of my most memorable elopements took place in Oahu, Hawaii, where a military couple stationed there shared their love before deployment. Witnessing their unwavering commitment amidst the breathtaking scenery was truly unforgettable.
Each wedding or elopement is a unique canvas, and I approach it with fresh eyes and an open heart. Your preferences and personalities guide every step of the process, ensuring that your photos authentically reflect your love story.
What I love most about being a wedding photographer is the privilege of capturing moments where nerves dissolve, and love takes center stage. It's an honor to witness the intimacy and connection between couples as they embark on this new chapter of their lives.
In the face of unexpected challenges, I always have a backup plan ready to ensure a seamless experience. Rain on your special day? Let's dance in the droplets with those cute clear umbrellas!
Drawing inspiration from NYC's iconic locations and architectural wonders, I'll take you on an adventure to some of the most picturesque spots, from the skyline views of Top of the Rock to the enchanting beauty of Bethesda Terrace and Bow Bridge.
Continual growth and learning are at the heart of my practice. I collaborate with professional service providers to ensure the highest quality for your final product. Your love story deserves nothing less than perfection.
Let's embark on this journey together and create timeless memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.
