Alyssa + Gustavo: Brooklyn Bridge Engagement Session

A BROOKLYN BRIDGE ENGAGEMENT SESSION

My only trip to New York this year was to photograph Alyssa and Gustavo’s engagement on the Brooklyn Bridge and their civil ceremony at New York City Hall. We met early on the Brooklyn Bridge to avoid any crowds, but man that wind!! It was so so cold the day we did their engagement photos - all of our hands were frozen!! They were such troopers though. I’m shocked they were down to take their hats and scarves off for a few shots. We cut the engagement session a little short because we were all so cold and got breakfast instead. I loved hanging with these two and hope our paths cross again soon!

Ben + Irene: Queensboro Bridge Couple Session

AN EVENING IN QUEENS

I met up with my friend Ben and his dog Rocky for a test shoot then his girlfriend Irene joined us for a bit. We didn’t originally plan to do photos of the two of them, but man these turned out so dreamy and beautiful! We met up in Queens and walked over to this area below the Queensboro Bridge. Honestly, I just need to let the photos do the talking here!

Benji + Connor: Chelsea, Manhattan Couple's Session

A WALK THROUGH CHELSEA

Ahhh these sweet friends of mine!! Benji and I have been Facebook friends for years and have followed each other on Instagram. We finally met up to do a shoot with a brand last year. He had such good things to say about Connor, so I knew I needed to meet him and do a shoot with the two of them. Then they adopted Ava, so I knew we needed to do a shoot ASAP!! We met up in Chelsea for this sweet little shoot (right after I got back from Boston by the way on a bus!). Enjoy these cuties!

Nelson + Shae: Brooklyn Bridge Park Anniversary Photos

A BROOKLYN BRIDGE ANNIVERSARY SESSION

Nelson and Shae were in New York for their anniversary and wanted to have photos taken. When Shae emailed me, I just assumed she was from Orange County as well, but turns out they’re from Texas! They found me thanks to Instagram and my website - so cool! It was so fun to connect with them and hang out in Brooklyn even on a fairly cold day.

Kelly + Steven: Central Park Engagement Session

A CENTRAL PARK ENGAGEMENT SESSION

Kelly and Steven visited New York for a wedding earlier this year. Kelly DMed me on Instagram for recommendations for food, coffeeshops and things to do. I sent her a bit of a list, then realized I had plenty of time to do photos for them and offered to do a quick session with them since we were hoping to meet up anyway. We met in Central Park, walked around Bethesda Fountain and the mall areas of the park before grabbing coffee. This was their first time having professional photos taken together and they killed it! They wound up getting engaged a few weeks later, which is why I count this as an engagement session. So excited for these two!!
