Maybe the tablescape didn’t turn out quite like your Pinterest inspo… 
Maybe Uncle Todd took the ‘open bar’ thing a little too literally…

I believe your wedding day is really freakin’ important.

But you know what’s even more important? You two & your love story!

but so what?

I’m not interested in perfection. 

I’m interested in capturing your real, raw, unshakable love for one another exactly as it unfolds on your wedding day.

Nothing posed. Nothing forced.

Documentary Wedding Photographer NYC Capturing Honest, Candid Stories

“Whitney treats you like a friend in a way that made me feel super comfortable and confident every time I did a shoot with her. She not only captures the moment perfectly but maintains both the integrity of her artistic style and the subject in the photo.”

Editorial, Documentary-style Yet Emotional: A Luxury NYC Wedding Photographer for Couples Who Want Both

New York City Wedding Photographer

I’m also a seasoned romance reader, a solid espresso martini advocate, and a lifelong lover of love stories. After six years and dozens of New York weddings, I’ve learned the magic isn’t in perfect poses or tightly packed timelines. It’s in the feeling of it all. The way your friends scream-sing Mamma Mia in a downtown hotel room. Grabbing pizza mid–wedding day because it feels right. Your mom adjusting your tie and blaming her tears on “allergies.” Those are the real stories.

I’m a New York wedding photographer with a calm, intentional approach and a deep love for honest storytelling. I work with couples who want their wedding day to feel lived-in, not performed. I want you to feel comfortable enough to be completely yourselves, even the snorting-while-laughing version. Because when you’re at ease, your photos don’t just look beautiful. They feel like you.

When the flowers wilt, the cake is gone, and the last round of the night is poured, your photos are what remain. Tangible proof of everything you felt, the energy of the city around you, and the people who showed up to celebrate your love.

Let’s make sure they’re something you’ll cherish for the rest of your lives.

New York isn’t just a backdrop - it’s a living, breathing character in your story. The city moves fast, light shifts quickly, and magic happens in the in-between moments. To photograph a New York wedding well, you have to feel the rhythm of the city - not just see it.

I know when the cobblestones of Dumbo glow golden at sunrise, when Central Park is calm before the crowds, and which quiet corner of the West Village catches the best evening light. But more importantly, I know how to help you slow down in the middle of it all - to breathe, to laugh, to take in every second.

Your wedding day here deserves someone who can anticipate the chaos and find the calm inside it. Someone who can move effortlessly through the noise, the traffic, the weather, and still capture the softness of your first look, the tears on the subway, or the joy spilling out of your favorite rooftop bar.

Because New York has a pulse - and when your photographer understands it, your photos don’t just show the city.

They feel like it.

PEEK AT MY BUCKET LIST

What sets Les Petits Bijoux apart from the Best Wedding Photographers in NYC

Best Wedding photographers in new york city

New York is filled with incredible photographers, but what makes Les Petits Bijoux different is how it feels to be photographed.

I don’t show up with a shot list and a stopwatch. I show up ready to connect - with you, your people, and the rhythm of the city. My approach is calm yet intuitive, guiding when needed and disappearing when it matters most. I’ll anticipate the chaos, protect the quiet, and make space for you to truly live your day instead of performing it.

You’re not just getting photos, you’re getting a full experience. From location guidance and timeline support to day-of direction and effortless posing, I handle every detail so you can be fully present. The result? Imagery that feels alive, authentic, emotional, and full of the heartbeat of New York.

Because your wedding doesn’t deserve just beautiful photos.
It deserves photos that feel like you, and a photographer who knows how to catch the city’s energy without ever losing your calm.

I'm ready to go!

"Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer, truly the best. Tanner and I couldn’t stop laughing and smiling for our photos. We truly enjoyed our time with Whitney. She did a great job guiding tanner for his first shoot and was the sweetest soul the whole time. Didn’t make it feel like we were at a photoshoot but just all hanging out enjoying the beautiful day."
