David + nicole at hotel dupont


From the very beginning, this day felt special.


I’ve known both David and Nicole for years, so when they asked me to photograph their wedding, I was genuinely ecstatic. Being trusted to capture such an important chapter for people you already care about hits differently—and I knew right away it was going to be an unforgettable celebration. And it truly was.


Between their fun-loving nature, contagious energy, and the way they are completely, effortlessly infatuated with each other, this day was destined to be incredible. Every moment felt natural and full of life—from the quiet anticipation while getting ready to the laughter and movement that carried through the entire day.

Nicole looked absolutely stunning, glowing with elegance and confidence, while David brought such a calm, joyful presence that perfectly matched her. Together, they have this magnetic connection—you can feel it in the way they look at each other, the way they laugh, and the way they just are together.


Set against the timeless beauty of Hotel Du Pont, their day felt even more magical. Originally built in 1913, this iconic venue is steeped in history and designed in breathtaking Italian Renaissance style, with no detail overlooked in its craftsmanship.  From soaring ceilings and hand-carved architectural details to imported European chandeliers and grand staircases, every corner of the space offers an elegant, romantic backdrop that feels straight out of another era.


The venue is known for its stunning ballrooms—especially the famous Gold Ballroom—where intricate artistry, rich textures, and historic charm create an atmosphere that is both luxurious and deeply meaningful. With over a century of celebrations held within its walls, it’s a place that truly carries the weight of history while still feeling fresh, refined, and unforgettable for modern couples.


For couples dreaming of a wedding that blends old-world elegance with modern sophistication, it’s hard to imagine a more perfect setting. Their New Year’s Eve 2025 wedding couldn’t have been more fitting. It was the perfect way to close one chapter and step into a brand new one—surrounded by love, celebration, and the people who mean the most to them. There’s something incredibly romantic about beginning your marriage on a night that symbolizes new beginnings, and David and Nicole embraced that energy fully.

From heartfelt moments to pure celebration, their day was filled with everything that makes weddings so meaningful—and so much fun.


David and Nicole, thank you for letting me be a part of this. It meant the world to me to capture your day, and I’m so excited for everything ahead of you both.

Cheers to forever—and the most beautiful beginning.
