Emily + Matt: Wagner Cove Proposal

A CENTRAL PARK PROPOSAL

Curious how to plan the best proposal? Look no further! Matt is proposal planner extraordinaire. I swear, I’ve never met a more thoughtful person. He legit thought of everything from flying her friends in to help set up to booking a photographer to finding the perfect spot in Central Park. I couldn’t wait to meet Matt and Emily because Matt seemed so cool. They were so cool and fun to hang out with! Definitely my kind of people.

Matt said he knew I was the right photographer when he saw my love for Friends because Emily also loves Friends. My quick responses via email and jumping on a call the same day sealed the deal. Photographers - make sure you’re responding same day at the absolute least. Matt first emailed me at 8AM, I emailed back within the hour and we jumped on a call a few hours later. By the time he signed the contract (around 5PM), he still hadn’t even received a response from the other photographers he emailed. I had not only done a phone call, but I sent a custom proposal! The early bird gets the worm is a true statement, so make sure to get ahead!

Layman + Michael: New York City Hall Wedding

A NEW YORK CITY HALL WEDDING

When two of your dearest friends decide to get married at city hall in the middle of summer and ask you to photograph it… You make sure you’re there! It worked out perfectly though! I just happened to be in NY for a workshop called Hustle and Flow and they got married the day before the workshop. It was ridiculously hot, but we managed to get outside for a few photos! Congrats to these amazing souls!! Can’t wait for the big wedding next year!!

Brian + Loren: Lower East Side Manhattan Couple's Session

A STROLL THROUGH LES

Well aren’t they freaking cute?!?! Brian and Loren KILL ME!!!! They are both super stylish dudes (expect more shoots with them!) and two of the kindest souls out there. It’s not a surprise they wound up together. I’ve been bugging Brian to do a shoot with Loren and Loren’s been bugging Brian to do a shoot with me. After enough nagging, Brian gave in and it was SO DANG FUN!!! We wandered around Soho and Lower East Side. Enjoy!!

Will You Be My Bridesbabe?: NYC Crosby Hotel

A NEW YORK BRIDESBABE MOMENT

What do you call it when a bride asks her friends to be her bridesbabes? I can't think of a name honestly, but this session/event/hang out was awesome! Jacqueline flew to New York from Chicago to ask her best friends to be her brides babes "it had to be you!" It was perfect timing because I was also in New York staying pretty close by, so I was able to meet at the Crosby in Soho to capture all the special moments! So excited for her bachelorette party in Palm Springs and her bridal shower in NYC!

Carrie + Francesco: West Village Engagement Session

A LOVE STORY IN THE VILLAGE

It was a warm autumn day in the village - perfect for an engagement session. Carrie and Francesco are both models and had each booked a shoot with me, but also wanted some shots together. Little did I know, they've been talking about marriage, so it turned into a bit of an engagement shoot. We wandered around West Village and captured their love, which is endless and true. Being around these two, you see what true love looks like. Enjoy!
