Isabel + Dave: (a very) New York Engagement Shoot

About a week ago I had the pleasure of spending an evening taking pictures for a fantastic couple. I love people who know how to laugh and have a good time, and these guys are experts at both! Isabel and Dave are getting married next summer in California but wanted engagement pictures done in New York - both places are so important for each of them, and a shoot in the city it seemed a perfect way to honor the city where they first met. We kicked off the fun in Central Park before moving to the very picturesque Brooklyn Heights Promenade where the sunset was spectacular! The day was a fantastic mix of laughter, love and a little adventure - just the way I like all my shoots to be.

Adrianne + James: New York Engagement Shoot

I couldn't have wished for a more fabulous pair to work with on the (very) hot June day our shoot was scheduled for. It was one of those humid new york days they don't tell you about in travel books. Where the air feels so thick with heat you're unsure if you're gonna be able to make it two blocks without needing to stop and rest. Adrianne and James battled the heat bravely, smile on their faces the whole time. Their energy was incredible and their happiness contagious! James was full of ideas for our next great shot, excitingly helping us move along through lower manhattan and then to brooklyn where we ended the day (I really did love all your ideas, James!). The shots are so exciting and as young and hip as these two are.

I had an amazing time hanging out and being crazy around new york with you guys and feel so honored to have been able to help document your incredible love!

Here are a few of my favs...

Frances + Mario: New York Engagement Shoot

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - summer in New York is the most magical time! It brings out a spirit in people that you don't see any other time of the year. Frances and Mario were in the city from Colorado and during our shoot, I could feel them falling in love with the city! Their love and enjoyment of our locations and of each other was palpable and made for a fantastic few hours together! I wish them immense love and continued happiness with each other! And thank them both for all the fun!!

Enjoy!

I had the most wonderful time with this awesome couple! We did a valentines day/engagement shoot in the park. It was a nice, but cold day, the blizzard had just come through the city so there was a really gorgeous layer of snow still on the ground. They braved through icy conditions and an early wake-up call to take a little walk through the park and show their love on camera. Super fun and we survived the dangerous snowy conditions!
