Grand Central & Midtown Rooftops New York City Engagement Session - AND a celebrity sighting of Jeremy Lin -Who was playing for the New York Knicks

Shana and Brad wanted to photograph inside Grand Central Station in New York City, since it was a location that held a special part of Brad's heart. He would commute through there everyday, but also it was where he proposed to Shana via the Whispering walls. We started their session inside and made our way throughout.  Shana even wore the veil that her mother wore at her wedding many years before! It was really beautiful.  Afterwards, we walked up Park ave to go towards their apartment in New York City to get on the roof and get some scenic shots of the New York City landscape!  It was gorgeous! There was a great view of the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building!  Gorgeous place to photograph!!!  Along with having an amazing time with my clients... we also bumped into Jeremy Lin and he was gracious enough to take a photo with the future married couple! It was awesome! Brad is a Knicks fan... so it worked out perfectly! Again, I love being a New York City Wedding Photographer because of the happenstances like this!!

Finally, a celebrity sighting:

JEREMY LIN !!!!!!!!! AHHHH!!!!

A New York City Engagement Photography Session

We wanted to try something a little different.  This was a really fun shoot, we tried to find a good mixture for using my stop-motion animations to create an editorial photoshoot that told the story of Ester & Stephen's relationship.  They're a very relaxed couple who really love being together, whether its studying, napping, having picnics or eating together.. when they're together- things are happy :)

So when we designed this shoot, we wanted to give it somewhat of a story of "A day with Stephen & Ester". Enjoy! (I also added a new trick, after a previous client sent me this link: http://mashable.com/2014/02/24/3d-gifs/?utm_cid=mash-com-fb-main-link - which are gifs that are made "3D" by just adding two extra white lines.. so I wanted to give it a go)

We had a lot of fun at a local park in Queens, and were able to get some amazing photos and gifs that encapsulate this couple and their time in New York City!

Engagement Session at Duke farms, New Jersey

Mary had this amazing idea to check out a farm in New Jersey where we could ride bikes to maneuver around and really explore. They were both from New York City but wanted to get their session at this gorgeous farm.  I was all in! The weather was beautiful, the whole farm was gorgeous... and I got to show off some one-handed biking skills ;)  We went around from open fields, forest hidden nooks and biking paths.   I should probably invest in a bike rack.. biking in the city is way too scary for me.  It was a nice time to get out of New York City !! Here are some highlights from this awesome sesh:

A New York City Central Park and Upper West Side Engagement Photography Session

Meet Teresa and Lam! They flew all the way from LA, California to work with me on an engagement session in the great New York City!! It was really awesome-- I FOUND THE BUBBLE MAN in Central Park and we were able to work with them for some really cool shots! It was a very happy moment for me as a New York City Wedding photographer. I've always wanted to catch him in action during one of my shoots- and I finally did. It was really great working with Teresa and Lam- they were both so chill and fun to work with! After our time in Central Park, we went to Magnolia’s Bakery on the Upper West side of New York City to grab a small snack and finish up there.

Here are my favorites from the session:
