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:

A Rainy Brooklyn Promenade New York City Elopement

This was definitely one of the most interesting elopements I've ever done.  Shot entirely in the pouring rain!  Jackie and Aaron are from LA, California (Peep the LOVE LA street sign in one of these shots later) and their parents were flying in to NYC to witness their union.  Although the forecast had rain at 100%, their parents were only going to be in town this weekend - so we knew it was going to happen- rain or shine! We met at the Brooklyn Promenade; the officiant all ready, and everyone had armed with umbrellas!  I was able to capture their adorable elopement in the rain, surrounded by their family and friends and it was AWESOME!  It was whimsical, romantic, fast paced and definitely the kind of day you'd remember!! Despite the weather, there was a gorgeous backdrop and a lot less people walking around the park (which was really helpful!!)  Jackie and Aaron were all up for everything!! Their upbeat spirit and willingness to get amazing shots DEFINITELY made it all worth it!!  I had so much fun with them and was so thankful that despite some unforeseen circumstances- they were still able to have fun and enjoy their day!!!  Photographing in New York, you really never know what you’re going to get! I was super excited to blog this New York City elopement and hope you guys will enjoy it too!! #iLOVENY !!

New York City Proposal at the East River Park in Manhattan

Belinda and I met when we played varsity volleyball together in high school.  Since then we've kept in touch, seeing each other at different events.  It was a pleasant surprise when her now-fiance, Omar, reached out to me to photograph their proposal. Omar told me that he kept me in mind ever since Belinda once showed him my work and told him that she liked it!  (*^__^*)  

Omar decided to propose at a local park (East River Park) where they used to run together.  This past week has been raining like CRAZY.. so on Christmas eve-eve, Omar and I met up and scoped out the "spot" - mind you...it was raining cats and dogs-- and we were a little worried that on Christmas eve, the big day, it would be raining... but the heavens opened up and the weather was pretty awesome!  It was a perfect moment and the sun even beamed down on Omar and Belinda during the proposal!  It was awesome and I was so glad to capture it as their new york city wedding photographer! Here are some of my favorites from their moment:

501 Union Wedding in Brooklyn in New York City

Jill and Justin, proud Brooklynites, avid marathon runners, and dedicated Knicks fans, selected 501 Union as the reception for their wedding. Drawn to its stunning ambiance that perfectly showcased their beloved neighborhood, they wanted the vibe to reflect their personalities. The day was a spectacular celebration of love and community, with both families gathering from near and far to witness their heartfelt union. It was an honor for me to capture these precious moments as a New York City wedding photographer, and here are a selection of my favorite shots from their unforgettable day!
