Soho and Downtown Manhattan Engagement Session in New York City

Jennifer and Angelo wanted to have their engagement session begin in their apartment where they call home in new york city. Then venture out nearby all around soho to photograph around their neighborhood. We popped some champagne to start of their session and had a blast with some of the most gorgeous backdrops downtown Manhattan can offer! It was such a blast to be able to photograph their engagement session and I also had the pleasure to photograph their new york city wedding in the fall! I’m so thankful they chose me to be their new york city wedding photographer!! Check out some highlights of their session:

South Street Seaport and El Luchador Tacos Engagement Session in New York City

Jenny and Tim live nearby South Street seaport, so they wanted to do their session down there, eat some tacos at one of their fav spots and walk around Battery Gardens-- oh and bring along their (big) pup, Rosie for the shoot! It was such a fun time walking around with them, trying to include Rosie in some shots and getting to know them! I loved that we got to eat some tacos at El Luchador!! Their tacos are so delicious!! I always love combining food into my engagement and wedding sessions- which is what makes it so great to live in NYC and be a new york city wedding photographer!! I’ll be shooting their wedding next year and it’s going to be exciting! Here are some of my favorites:

A New York City Wedding at the Standard Hotel in Chelsea and Locanda Verde in Tribeca

It's a bit nippy in January, but 1/23 was a special date to Melanie and Matt.  The day began at the Standard Hotel in Chelsea, New York City, then had their intimate ceremony at St Peter’s Church | Our Lady of the Rosary downtown in battery city.  They chose a really cute little restaurant named Locanda Verde (Which the FOOD IS AMAZING) in Greenwich for their reception and had a really awesome laid back party.  It was truly such an amazing day!!  Everyone was excited and happy for the couple ..and had been waiting years for this day to come!  Every detail of the day was a perfect addition,  her gorgeous dress from BHLDN,  the florals, the bridesmaids gifts - cozy shawls for the outdoor photos =P -- everything couldn't have been more perfect! It was the definition of a New York City Wedding! It’s always so wonderful to be able to capture such a diverse crowd with the union of this multi-cultural couple! Loved it! Here are some of my favorites from the day:

A Sea Glass Carousel Engagement Session in Lower Manhattan near Battery Park

Lily and Dan set a date to do their engagement session, and as the date got closer, the weather started to look more and more cloudy on the weather app.. >_>  We decided we would chance it and wait until the last possible minute to make the final call.  Lily couldn't reschedule because she was getting her makeup trial done that day so we could do the shoot right after.  Finally when the day came- the weather app "said" that it wasn't going to rain during our time frame for the shoot so we were ecstatic!  We met at our proposed place, the Sea Glass Carousel in Lower Manhattan, New York City.  When I got there... it was POURING ;__;  Luckily it was an indoor carousel.. and even luckier was that it was empty since no one else was nearby crazy enough to come during such a huge storm.  I had a such a fun time photographing in the empty carousel and getting great shots of Lily and Dan!!!  After we felt that we had spent enough time there, the rain actually stopped and we were able to finish up the shoot outdoors and walk over to Battery Park!!!  It couldn't have worked out any more perfect! You really never know what to expect when youre trying to shoot weddings or engagements here in New York City!
