Our backdrop at the Metropolitan Museum of Art fit them perfectly. Sonya had volunteered there a couple years back and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City held a very dear spot in her heart. They were a really outgoing couple, willing to fight the herds of people at the Metropolitan Museum of Art to get beautiful shots. They were patient and a gorgeous couple and I’m so glad they picked me as their New York City wedding photographer! Later this year they'll be traveling to Michigan and India to celebrate with more festivities! It’s so great to capture New York City’s culture and beauty!
A New York City Outdoor Wedding in Fort Tryon Park - The New Leaf Restaurant
When you have a outdoor wedding in Fort Tryon Park, New York City — t's going to be amazing. Hands down. Lauren and Eric couldn't have planned it ANY more beautifully. The weather was perfect, their outfits were perfect-- and the florals for this wedding- everything blew me out of the water. Lauren and Eric are really down to earth, fun loving, food loving people. So they really match well with me :) Their sense of style also really resonated with me as well. Their wedding favors were mini Tabasco sauces that were entitled "keeping it spicy"!! HAHA! I die. It was so amazing.
One crazy part of this wedding was wayyy back, when they booked me, they were really excited to tell me about this awesome florist that Eric used to stop by at Brooklyn nearby their home all the time. But when they moved out of Brooklyn, the florist was so sad about them leaving, she even cried. They were THAT close to their florist- so now you can see clearly see how awesome these two are. So when they called her to do the flowers for the wedding-- she was thrilled! And boy did she create some gorgeous bouquets and decor! The best part too, is that when I met the florist, Kana (http://saffron-brooklyn.com/) ... I realized we KNEW each other and went to Laguardia (WOOT!) High School together!! What a small world!
Again, I really enjoyed every moment of this wedding day. Their families were both so awesome, funny and we shared some interesting moments together in the limo. I was so happy to be a part of their big day and thankful they wanted me to document it for them! They had their ceremony right in the park in Fort Tryon and then their reception at the New Leaf Restaurant - It truly is a HIDDEN GEM in New York City Weddings!
Here are some of my favorite shots of the day:
A Cloisters & Fort Tryon Park in New York City Engagement Photography Session
Angel and Wing, aka, Angel-Wings, decided to have their engagement session over my the Cloisters Museum on the Upper West side. The Cloisters is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the Upper East side of New York City. They also really wanted to include Max, Wing's dog, into the session, so we went to Fort Tryon Park after. I remember Max when he was a little puppy! Now he's all grown up, hyper as ever and seeing his best friend get married. It is too sweet! Truly love my job as a New York City Wedding Photographer!!
Here are some of the highlights from the shoot!
Glen Cove, New York City Engagement Session
We drove out to this beautiful park over in Glen Cove, Long Island. It had a beautiful view of the water, large beautiful trees and just a peaceful place to photograph. It’s so nice to get away from New York City sometimes! They had stumbled upon this park a few months earlier and chose it to be the destination for their engagement session. Jason, I've known probably since I was about 15 years old. Much like an older brother figure, I was elated when he found his partner for the rest of his life, Alice! And not only is Alice beautiful, but she's so warm-hearted, loving and has such a way of making a person feel so loved and appreciated. I thank these two for their support and encouragement in my life and so excited to share their big day with them soon!! PS: it was pretty much super windy and super freezing, so cheers to these two for making it look easy!
