Wedding // Lisa + Will

Back in October (I know, bad blogger) Lisa + Will were married at the beautiful Peconic River Herb Farm on Long Island. If you're a gardener, antique lover or some combination of the two I encourage you to check this place out. It's a treasure trove of beauty and it wasn't even the first pick for Lisa + Will. I remember some time before the wedding getting a very calm email from Lisa saying that they had to make a last minute switch in locations and that the Herb Farm would be the new location. She took everything in stride and had the great help of the Heather and Jamie at Cheeky Details for planning out this gorgeous wedding at a new location.  I love when the groom gets involved too and Will, a set designer, made most of the wedding details including the photobooth backdrops that were simply amazing.  The creativity of these two and the love between them was so wonderful to witness and I'm happy to share these images with you of their beautiful fall wedding.

Congratulations Lisa + Will!

Engagement // Lindsay + Matt

Where do I even begin?  When Lindsay told me that there was a chance we might be able to do their engagement shoot at the abandoned hospital complex at the Brooklyn Navy Yard I was immediately intrigued.  I love Brooklyn and I love history so doing an engagement shoot and having a history lesson all in one is my dream come true.  Lindsay worked on saving this part of the Brooklyn Navy Yard so in the end we were able to access to it for their engagement shoot and to say I asked a few questions would be an understatement.  She knows everything and was happy to tell me about each space we saw: the abandoned hospital, nurses stations, infectious disease houses (?!), tennis courts and the chief surgeon's house.  Everything is overgrown and a little eerie, but we all agreed to look past that (and the downpour of snow) for this special shoot.  It was definitely a day I'll never forget.

Congratulations Lindsay + Matt!

On a side note, I promise that I do sometimes shoot when it's sunny out... 

Engagement // Kiersten + Nathan

On a very rainy day in February I went out with these two to explore Long Island City, Greenpoint and my very own neighborhood of Williamsburg. To say they were troopers is an understatement. New York City is cold in February and if you bring in the wind and rain to the equation I'm pretty sure most folk would settle for sitting inside with a nice cup of coffee. Instead it ended up being such a fun time that we didn't even realize how pink our fingers were until the very end and I'm going to chalk that up to love. The reason I love my job so much and the reason I'm more excited than ever to see these two hitched later this year.

 Congratulations, Kiersten + Nathan!

Wedding // Angela + Albert

Angela + Albert were married in August at their alma mater, Columbia University, followed by a beautiful reception at New Leaf Restaurant.  My scouting for their wedding was some of the most fun I've done and I'm kicking myself that it took me so long to get to the Cloisters.   It's gorgeous up there and I felt like I was hours outside of the city.   Angela was stunning and so calm and collected as she got ready with her bridesmaids at the Gramercy Park Hotel.  By the time Albert arrived (by vintage taxi!) everything was picture perfect.  The first look was romantic and emotional and the whole day followed suit.  We even found the best model, a Great Dane, in the West Village to add to the wedding day portraits.  By the end of the night after heartfelt toasts, delicious food, and awesome dancing the sparkler exit added yet another perfect touch to a beautiful day.  

Congratulations Angela + Albert!

+ Ryan & Heidi also made a beautiful video of the day if you would like to see it.  A+A
+ This wedding was also featured on Style Me Pretty!
+ Last, but not least... photobooths are fun!

Winter Wedding

My apologies to all on my accidental blogging hiatus.  I come bearing sweet images of a couple who were married last week in the middle of a mini snow storm!

Congratulations, Dungjai + Chris!
