About Big Apple Love Stories
Big Apple Love Stories
Hi, I'm Lucia! As a photojournalist and documentary photographer, I capture weddings, elopements, and engagements with raw emotion, cinematic storytelling, and an editorial edge. I focus on creating images that are as real, timeless, and personal as your love story. We'll go beyond classic poses. It's the intimate glances, the sidekick laughter, the never-ending hugs, the tears of joy, and those moments of pure connection what I love capturing. Whether it’s the intimacy of an elopement, the excitement of an engagement, or the energy of a full wedding, I preserve the emotions that make your day unforgettable.
My approach blends street photography, documentary storytelling, and the art of portraiture to create images that don’t just show how your day looked—but how it felt. If you want a photographer who sees the beauty in every moment, and photos that break the mold and showcase your true selves, looking like the stars of your own romantic movie with New York City as your backdrop, let’s capture some timeless magic!

A thousand times YES!!
Lucia was simply a wonder to have on our wedding day. The communication before and during the event was amazing and we had plenty of time to do pictures before walking down the aisle. She then captured our ceremony and our party in such a perfect way. We are in absolute awe. The photos are so emotional, and we are so happy to have these incredible moments with our family documented forever.
Lucía is the best!
Lucía is an incredibly talented photographer and videographer. I hired her to take a video of our proposal and she was so easy to work with, communicated a lot with me leading up to the big day, did an amazing job editing the video, and overall did an amazing job. I have also referred her to another friend who she did proposal photos for, and I know he was super happy as well. I highly recommend Lucía for any photography/videography projects!
Authentic. Emotional. Unforgettable.
Hiring Lucia was the best decision we made for our wedding day. She captured everything—the big moments, the small in-between ones, and all the emotions along the way. Even when we felt awkward in front of the camera, she guided us, helping us feel relaxed and natural, resulting in the most beautiful and authentic memories! We couldn’t be happier! Thank you!
Absolutely Amazing Experience!
We had the best time working with Lucía for our engagement shoot! From start to finish, she made the entire experience so easy and enjoyable. She was super responsive, professional, and a joy to work with. Not only did she guide us through the shoot with fun and natural poses, but she also had a great eye for creative shots that turned out beautifully! We felt completely comfortable, and she made the whole process feel effortless and fun. The turnaround time was incredibly fast, and when we saw the final photos—WOW! The quality was stunning, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. If you’re looking for a talented, friendly, and professional photographer who truly knows how to capture special moments, look no further than Lucía! Highly recommend!
