A few weeks back I headed into New York for an engagement session with my New Year’s Eve couple, Christine and Mark. To say these guys have chemistry is the understatement of the year!! They were so incredible together and no matter how many times they told me they never really had their picture taken together, the less I believed them, because they were like supermodels for me!!
Check out Mark. Come on. YIKES!
Now you know I never let the rain get me down, and so we met up at the Bethesda Fountain- it’s the perfect place to hang out if it rains and wait for it to dry up a bit and then venture out when it stops!
One of my favorite ways to shoot- through water! Love it love it love it!
Miss Christine gets mad props for braving the cold- which she is not a fan of, to say the least…. but look at her working it!
Another favorite, the band shell! My favorite though? My clients!!
What a great smile
The Mall in Central Park is another favorite place of mine to shoot- it’s so beautiful and timeless and I always feel like I have been transported to someplace special
Love their spontaneity!
One of their favorite restaurants in the city, Pastis
And this? Well, I just stumbled upon this and I am so happy that I did!!! One of the little challenges that I gave myself for this shoot was to not bring my flash with me, fully knowing I was going to be shooting at night. See, light is everywhere and since i have been so up my pocket wizard’s, well, you know- I decided to make sure I still knew how to see light the old fashioned way.
With my eyes.
Another found light source!
And Grand Central, always a favorite and at RUSH HOUR!!!
You have no idea how many people were probably cursing me here, I was standing still in the massive sea of people, shooting! Whatever, I had to get my shot! No flash, just ambient Grand Central Light.
Christine and Mark, thank you thank you thank you for being so incredibly easy to work with-
I am SO excited for your wedding!!
