One of the biggest wedding trends we saw in 2023 that I think will be a super big wedding trend moving into 2024 is the “Get married now, party later” concept. SO MANY of my couples were eloping in New York City for the city vibes and iconic backdrop, but most of them were planning on having a big wedding party to celebrate their union later in the year. Couples are really breaking tradition. They want there to be a sacredness to their wedding ceremony and they want their ceremonies to really scream “intimate”. And I don’t blame them. Sometimes it's really nice to just enjoy celebrating with others at a more casual party later instead of putting on a huge production of a wedding day.

It’s hard to walk the photography entrepreneur road alone, especially as a creative who is both growing as a photographer AND as a business owner. You are desperately wanting others to take you seriously while also struggling to take yourself seriously as you battle with imposter syndrome and the fear of failure. When I first started, I always felt so discouraged and alone. I threw a lot of pity parties for myself. And I don’t want you to have to do that. I want you to feel encouraged and empowered. I want you to know what to expect as you enter this really beautiful and wonderful rewarding career. I want you to see your ideal client in your inbox, asking you to photograph their family, wedding, brand, or event.

Last week, I sat across from one of my clients at a coffee/flower shop on the Lower East Side and she nervously told me the reason she booked a photo session with me was because she wanted to work on her own confidence. She squirmed a bit and her eyes darted all around the room as she explained wanting to get our of her comfort zone more. I could tell she was nervous. I thought— Wow, getting in front of a camera can feel SO vulnerable, she is so brave.

Patricia is an opera singer who is based in Manhattan and travels the world singing. We took a handful of photos with her in her music studio with music scattered around her. We also took a few of her reading some of her favorite books and novels. And then we took a walk in a nearby park (this park was so cool!) that has a really beautiful bridge that connects to The Bronx.

Two lovers, up in the clouds on top of the city. Dan was high on proposal nerves and worried that the clouds would obstruct the view, but after finding the right spot with an amazing cloud-free view, he pulled the ring out, got down on his knee, and proposed. And she said yes while everyone around them cheered them on and applauded their skyscraper love.

I put together the most basic, fun, and “Stacie” experience I could think of: Coffee, Dessert, and Photos in Central Park. Fully expecting no one to sign up, except… they did. And after about a month of Photo Sessions, I’ve been able to meet so many cool people and do this really weird niche thing and really really enjoy it.

I spent an hour or two in Central Park with Melissa and Jasper and I love how their photos turned out. Sometimes slower walks lead to more play and a more relaxed session, which, in my opinion, always yields better photos than rushed sessions.
