We feel incredibly lucky to have had Momo as our wedding photographer!
From the very beginning, Momo was super professional. Communication was smooth, detailed, and organized. She took the time to understand our vision, photography style, timeline, and shot list, which gave us so much confidence leading up to the wedding.
On the wedding day, Momo arrived early to scout the venue and lighting. She captured everything on our shot list and also came up with so many creative ideas that became some of our favorite photos. She gave great posing guidance, made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and brought such positive energy—we truly had a great time working with her.
Our sneak peek was delivered so quickly, and it was exactly the style we had envisioned. We honestly didn't want to change a single thing.
When we received the full gallery, we were blown away. Every photo is beautiful, timeless, and full of emotion. We couldn't be happier with the results.
If you're looking for a talented, professional, and creative wedding photographer, we can't recommend Momo enough. Choosing her was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!
Finding Momo on social media was a total game-changer. I was instantly drawn to her documentary-style photography, which beautifully focuses on genuine moments and raw emotions. I wanted photos that would make our special day live on forever, and Momo delivered exactly that.
From day one, working with her was incredibly easy—from the initial consultation to signing the contract and discussing our shot list. She quickly became the vendor I trusted the most, and that trust was not in vain; she was hands-down the best person we worked with for our entire wedding.
On the wedding day, she actually arrived at our hotel before I did! Since we didn't have a wedding planner, I hadn't prepared perfectly for her, but Momo is a true professional. She made brilliant use of whatever was available, capturing stunning photos of us, our loved ones, and our accessories seamlessly.
My husband and I are both quite shy and introverted, and the idea of being the center of attention in front of a camera felt incredibly daunting. But Momo has a magical way of easing all of that anxiety. Instead of forcing stiff, awkward poses, she gently guided us to just look at each other, breathe, and be present. She made us feel completely safe, relaxed, and happy. Because of her gentle approach, she captured our true selves rather than a performative version of us. The photos genuinely reflect exactly who we are and how our love feels.
In fact, our friends keep telling us that every single photo looks like a gorgeous frame of a short film—there is so much cinematic storytelling and life in each shot.
To top it all off, she was incredibly fast with delivering both the sneak peeks and the final online gallery, and was always responsive to our questions. Momo is generous, genuine, and truly invested in making your day as special as possible. We are deeply grateful for her and cannot recommend her enough!

Hi! I’m a New York-based wedding photographer.
Capturing weddings with cinematic storytelling, editorial elegance, and genuine emotion throughout New York, New Jersey, California, and worldwide destinations.
I create emotional, editorial-inspired photographs for modern families, lovers, and weddings —
My work blends the emotional honesty of documentary storytelling with the refined aesthetics of editorial style — cinematic, intentional, and deeply human.
My grandmother spent more than fifty years behind a camera. Rooted in my grandmother’s artistry and shaped by my years as a journalist, I’m drawn to moments that feel unscripted yet composed, where light, feeling, and story come together in a single frame.
