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!
Homy & Michael - Metropolitan Museum of Art and Upper West Side
Homy has been one of the most influential, encouraging sisters in my life. I was so thankful and excited to photograph her and her fiance Michaels' engagement shoot! Homy (yes, it's pronounced Homie, like, "yo-this is my homie!") is a wise, beautiful and loving woman who has a knack giving great advice. I am so glad that she has found someone to commit to for the rest of her life! I still remember the first time she told me about him... we were sitting in the backseat of someones car and I begged her to show me a facebook picture. That's how I first met Michael. This blond chap, that was holding a cup of coffee, wearing a book-bag. Their relationship built via long distance, Michael in Saratoga Springs, and Homy in New York City. Every time they visited each other, they spent their time exploring Manhattan and just being happy in each other's presence. The train station became a staple in their relationship. (Note the last photo in my set, Pennsylvania Station ^_^) I am so happy that these two really love each other and decided to really commit themselves to each other. When planning our engagement shoot, we decided to mirror Homy and Michael's 2nd date. They went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and then to Shake Shake, and Lady M Cake Boutique. Please take a look at our date together in just a few (of many!) photos from the date, also, please be patient while some of the are "moving" images and will need a few moments to load :) ENJOY!!
Central Park and Metropolitan Museum of Art Engagement Photography Session
Sometimes photoshoots don't always go as planned. The date we chose was a LOT colder and windier than a normal April day, but it worked out so wonderful. We stayed on the upper east side of Manhattan and was able to get some beautiful shots behind the Metropolitan Museum of Art, at Central Park and on the street of New York City! Ketsia's dress worked so well with this windy day and was able to be such a inspiration for some of the shots!
