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!!!

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:

Gowanus, Brooklyn & Soho Engagement Session in New York City

I got another chance to photograph around Gowanus, Brooklyn and Soho with Nick and Kimberly.  Nick loved the industrial and edgy look of their neighborhood and Kimberly liked the polished and chic look of Soho (where they work).  So we were able to combine their personalities into their engagement session and hit up both areas! It was such a great time because they allowed me to be creative and free with them and we found some really amazing spaces to photograph at. It’s so awesome to be able to capture these photographs for them for the future!! It was also awesome because one of these shots was featured in the New York Times!! I am so thankful they chose me to be their new york city wedding photographer!! They will be getting married in California next year! Here are some of my favorite shots!

It was such an amazing shoot to photograph in New York City iconic spots. I love being a new york city wedding photographer.  Enjoy some of my favorite highlights:
