These two amazing New York City chefs wanted to have an engagement photography session that would capture their personalities and their loves... for each other and for delicious food. They began with sharing dim sum with one another as a starter, then Ryan's famous beef noodle soup. They topped it off with some chocolate souffles ... which tasted... amazing. And yes... as the photographer I got to try some of the food.. hehe! It was really fun working with these two and we got some amazing shots in the process! I love doing things differently and trying new ideas- so much diversity and customs to experience as a New York City wedding photographer!! Here are some of my favorite shots from the session:
A West Village Engagement Session in NYC
Daisy and John live in the West Village and wanted to do a session in their neighborhood. They took me around to their favorite spots and streets and then to the pier. It was a great session and these two are so obviously in love :) I had so much fun photographing this couple and we found some amazing and unique spots in the west village, new york city. To be honest, this is one of my favorite locations to do a New York City engagement session because it just gives off that classic NYC vibe. Yet another great session as a new york city wedding photographer! Here are some of my favorite shots:
Columbia University Library and Riverside Drive Park Engagement Session in New York City
Sherrie and Dan both attended Teacher's College at Columbia University on the Upper West Side of NYC. So when they asked if they could do their engagement session there-- I was really excited!!! I don't know what it is about libraries... ^_^ Our session began in the space where they spent most of their time studying, learning and equipping themselves to become the wonderful teachers that they are today. Dan now teaches High Schoolers and Sherrie teaches elementary students. I have so much respect for these two, they are excited to inspire and mentor the younger generation. They're also extremely carefree, fun and easy to be around and talk to!! It was a great session filled with taking polaroids of each other, singing, playing the guitar & ukulele and just really enjoying being each other's presence. We ended the night at Riverside Drive Park, and it was such a wonderful space and atmosphere to be in! It was awesome and I can't wait to photograph their wedding day as their new york city wedding photographer! They will be having their reception at Picnic House in Prospect Park! It’s going to so rad!!!
West Village and Balloon Saloon Engagement Session
I had SUCH a fun time with these two, wandering the west village and Tribeca in New York City and trying to tame a dog-balloon! (I named him ROGER, and I tried to sneak him into Haiti with me... but that was a bust..) I loved how carefree these two were and willing to have fun with me in strange little creative spaces. We wandered around and even found a HUGE PIZZA BALLOON. You can never go wrong with PIZZA in NEW YORK CITY! It was so awesome to be able to be their New York City wedding photographer and capture these amazing and funny moments! I cannot wait to shoot their new york city wedding in a few months!
