central park engagement portraits

 

Okay, so I was just a tad bit in love with working with Jess + Jason, a NYC couple full of so much love, joyfullness and charm, that it just permeates through all of my images of them. Keeping their engagement portrait session light and natural, these two lovebirds were simply and beautifully themselves (even with the element of more than one camera on them the whole time: see the Best Buy story). The portrait session took place on a glorious Fall day, right before winter weather struck, and took place all around The Bethesda Fountain in Central Park.

What it looks like to be photographed while photographing.

I am just so excited to share the Central Park engagement shoot from a couple of weeks ago, but before I do, I just wanted to mention the story behind it, because what an experience it was. I submitted my "true story" of using Best Buy for my business and was selected to be represented in their coming soon ad campaign for real people, real businesses. Truly, I love Best Buy, so it was such a cool thing for me to be a part of it.

While the ads or any proof of me (for the first time ever) being in front of the camera will not hit shelves until 2011, I did manage to sneak in a couple of shots where I photographed the photographers and ones following my every move.

The best part of the 2-day experience was that they wanted to capture me actually working, so in came the engagement shoot between the lovely Jess + Jason: truly in love engaged couple extraordinaire who not only had my camera on them but also had about 5 others on them as well. It was a blast, and I can't wait to share the beautiful couple's shoot!

ny family portraits

It was a beautiful Fall day in Upstate NY when I had the pleasure of taking portraits of the Landin family. The son had homework, the daughter had giggles, and the dog just wanted to cuddle, but the photographs tell the story of what this family is all about. Just love, love, love. This is the sneak peek that I just had to share! The colors of fall and lovely families make me ever so happy.

edits + pretty pink hues

I have been editing the days away on all recent weddings I've shot, with another one approaching this weekend. I keep getting caught up in the sweet pink delights of the rustic NY wedding of Andrea + Jeph that I shot back in late August, that I just can't resist sharing a couple more photos. So lovely. Praying for no rain this weekend during the shoots that I have and looking forward to sharing more wedding bliss! Stay tuned...

conservatory garden central park wedding

K + U met on the subway, fell in love, and decided to have a super unique wedding ceremony in the Conservatory Garden of Central Park. They just wanted it to be two of them. Which made four of us. I photographed while a good friend of theirs officiated and joined in on some of the portraits. It was possibly the sunniest day in the history of September Sundays, and these two basked in the sun with creative vows, a fun walk around the park, and a motorcycle ride on the sidewalk. It could not have been more special, different, and wonderful to have been a part of.

They had so much love for each other, so much love for their motorcycle, and I had love for the opportunity to capture it all. Congratulations to K + U! Full Coverage coming soon to See The Be.
