For a long time, people came to me because I knew how to move quickly.

Because I knew how to get “the shot” before anyone even realized it was happening.

Because I understood how to tell a love story — even if I only had fifteen minutes to do it.


That instinct was shaped through hundreds of proposals, often working as the head photographer for one of the top proposal planning companies in New York. I was trusted to document one of the most nerve-wracking, high-stakes moments in a couple’s journey — often with no retakes, no second chances, no do-overs.


From there, I leaned even further into working with couples by photographing more than 100 City Hall weddings last year alone. That kind of volume taught me how to be adaptable. How to anticipate energy shifts. How to read the room — and also how to make people feel like everything was under control even when it wasn’t.


But the truth is: I didn’t start out with weddings. I started out with people.


And somewhere along the way, I realized I wanted more than to just capture a moment. I wanted to follow it. I wanted to feel the full arc of it — the build-up, the nervousness, the beauty, the pause before walking down the aisle, and the joy that lingers after the reception fades.


That’s what led me here.

Introducing Kali Love Stories

This new space is where I get to do the kind of work I’ve grown into.


I created Kali Love Stories to focus on full-day traditional weddings — not just because they pay more (though let’s be real, that shift allows me to serve my clients with more time and intention), but because I truly believe I’m better at this kind of storytelling now.


Working with hundreds of couples — people who trusted me with some of the biggest moments of their lives — has refined everything. My instincts. My rhythm. My eye. And most of all, my approach.


This isn’t about perfection.

It’s about presence.


Because what makes your wedding day unforgettable isn’t just the setting or the flowers. It’s the glances exchanged. The way your friends laugh during speeches. The nervous hands being held behind the scenes. The energy. The tension. The release.


These aren’t just details. They’re memories in motion. And I know how to spot them.

 

 

Why Full-Day Weddings Feel Right

There’s something about being there from beginning to end — not just dropping in for a ceremony, not just rushing through a portrait session. It’s about showing up early, blending in, and becoming part of the rhythm of your day.


I’ve always been a quiet observer. That hasn’t changed. But now, I get to lean even further into the work I love most — documenting people being real with each other, in moments that can’t be posed.


With a full day, there’s room to breathe. Room to get creative. Room for your story to unfold at its own pace.

What You Can Expect With Kali Love Stories

If you’ve worked with me before, or followed my work under Kali Artistry, you already know I don’t just show up with a camera and a shot list. I show up with presence, clarity, and experience — ready to document your wedding as it really unfolds.


Here’s what’s part of this new chapter:


  • Full-day wedding coverage — from getting ready through the final dance


  • Candid, documentary-style storytelling with an editorial eye


  • Engagement sessions that help us build trust before the big day


  • Heirloom albums and print collections that live beyond the screen


  • Custom packages for weddings both local and destination


I still offer proposal and City Hall photography. That work is still meaningful to me. But this space — Kali Love Stories — is for those who want a deeper level of storytelling. For couples who want to feel seen, not just captured.

Let’s Begin

I built this new space with care — and if you’re here, it means you’re probably in the middle of planning a wedding that already matters deeply to you.


Whether you’re getting married in a Brooklyn brownstone, a Manhattan rooftop, or somewhere halfway around the world — I’d be honored to document your day in a way that lets you relive it fully.


Thanks for being here.

And welcome to this next chapter.
