NYC Brooklyn Bridge Park / DUMBO Engagement Photography Session

Jihyoung & Paul were going to have their wedding in Korea but before that, they wanted to do their engagement photography session at the Brooklyn Bridge Park in Dumbo! It was an amazing choice! This park always has the best views and edgy NYC backdrops! I personally love shooting here! They brought along their little pup and we roamed around. Our session included Ice cream from Mister Softee (only the best!!!), lobster rolls from Luke’s Lobster, Jane’s carousel lit up in the background and the New York City Skyline hovering behind a beautiful Brooklyn pier. This is honestly such a great location in New York City to have any type of photo session done! II had a lot of fun with them— so much that we actually did another photography session in the west village with them!! (But that will be on another blog post in the future!)

New York City Engagement Session at the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Fabiana and Michele journeyed all the way from Brasil to capture their engagement session in the vibrant heart of New York City. Fabiana's deep connection to the city, having lived and studied there, made the Metropolitan Museum of Art the perfect backdrop for their photoshoot. Despite the biting cold of a typical NYC winter day, we ventured into Central Park, embracing the frozen beauty of the lake for stunning shots. Being entrusted as their New York City wedding and engagement photographer was truly an honor, allowing me to capture the essence of their love amidst the iconic backdrop of the city that never sleeps. I am so glad they chose me to be their New York City wedding and engagement photographer!

Upper West Side and Lincoln Center Opera House Engagement Photography Session

This cute couple hails originally from Florida but now resides in Albany, New York -- and were awesome enough to come down to New York City to shoot with me!  They are a huge fans of Magnolia's Bakery and definitely made it a point to get delicious baked goods at some time during the shoot. We went around the Upper West side, around Lincoln Center and the New York City Opera House.  It was a great session- they were huge troopers-braving the cold!! It always gets a little cold in New York City. We were also stalked by a random tourist man from Germany who kept popping up throughout the city, giving us words of encouragement.  (HAHA) I included a photo of him, taking a photo of them.  Nothing beats having your engagement sessions done in the hustle and bustle of New York City! ENJOY some of these shots!!

A Montauk, Long Island Engagement Photography Session

Well, well... what can I say about this lovely couple?  First of all, that they're super amazingly CUTE and awesome and a huge part of my life.  Alan has been great friends with Jeddy and I since, like, a gazillion years ago.  We've been through tons of ups and downs in each other's lives, and most importantly, we've been doing the work of Christ together at Awakening Church!!  I am so happy that Alan has found Joanne-- and she has since joined the [dream] team!

I've seen their relationship grow; from the early stages of dating and now onto their journey to become husband and wife.  I am so excited to be a part of their big day and for the many events leading up to it!!  They decided to do their engagement session in Montauk (where Alan proposed!).  It's a beautiful place, romantic and sweet... just like them two love birds ;)  It was really nice to get out of New York City and do a session somewhere different, quieter and peaceful. Not that I hate New York City- but its just a whole different vibe- a good place to take a break!! But I will forever love my job as a New York City Wedding Photographer!
