We probably picked the best and hottest day in New York City for this photoshoot (unknowingly). The weather these days have been all over the place, rain, rain, rain and then heat then it's like cold again. So crazy!! However, the heat didn't hold us back! These two were such troopers- and I'm telling you it was HOT. They were both probably sweating a storm, but they were able to keep it all under control, model and also have a ton of fun! We walked along the High Line in Chelsea, New York City. We made stops around the west village as well. These two will be getting married soon and having their New York City Wedding in a couple of months! Here are some highlights!!
A Central Park, Upper West Side and Shake Shack Engagement Photography Session in New York City
I met Christine during my last year in photo school in RIT. She had moved to Rochester, New York for a job. As a hobby, Christine was a huge Model Mayhem-er and me, as a senior- constantly working on my photo projects, I was lucky enough to enlist Christine in a lot of my shoots. Given all the photoshoots we did together, we bonded and built a relationship that is still strong even til today. I'm so excited for Christine as she is about to begin her new life with Jon. Jon has a been a great guy, a producer for HsuBox Productions. He's always been a man of passion and continually is working towards his dream after graduating from NYU. They wanted to do their photoshoot in New York City- we went to Central Park and incorporate food with burgers and shakes from Shake Shack! And without further ado, here are some of the awesome shots I got with the couple!
Our Tribute to PSY: (please wait for it to load)
Jon and Christine met in their childhood and spent most of their 4 year relationship long distance. Jon making his career in New York City, while Christine went from Florida, to Rochester then now to White Plains. Grand Central Station was a popular spot for them to meet. This is one of my favorite (moving) shots, so please wait for it to load!!
Glen Cove, New York City Engagement Session
We drove out to this beautiful park over in Glen Cove, Long Island. It had a beautiful view of the water, large beautiful trees and just a peaceful place to photograph. It’s so nice to get away from New York City sometimes! They had stumbled upon this park a few months earlier and chose it to be the destination for their engagement session. Jason, I've known probably since I was about 15 years old. Much like an older brother figure, I was elated when he found his partner for the rest of his life, Alice! And not only is Alice beautiful, but she's so warm-hearted, loving and has such a way of making a person feel so loved and appreciated. I thank these two for their support and encouragement in my life and so excited to share their big day with them soon!! PS: it was pretty much super windy and super freezing, so cheers to these two for making it look easy!
Here are some of my favorites from the session:
Prospect Park & Park Slope Brooklyn Engagement Session in NYC
Laurie and Matt wanted to do their engagement session at some of their favorite local spots in Prospect Park & Park Slope Brooklyn. We spent some time at Prospect Park, then maneuvered our way over to one of Laurie's favorite bars. It's always so great to be able to go to more comfortable spots and capture people at places where they feel the most at home. I’m so thankful I am able to be their New york city wedding photographer and I will be photographing their wedding at the Green Building in Brooklyn in a couple of months! Here are some of my favorite shots from the session:
