Ben + Irene: Queensboro Bridge Couple Session

AN EVENING IN QUEENS

I met up with my friend Ben and his dog Rocky for a test shoot then his girlfriend Irene joined us for a bit. We didn’t originally plan to do photos of the two of them, but man these turned out so dreamy and beautiful! We met up in Queens and walked over to this area below the Queensboro Bridge. Honestly, I just need to let the photos do the talking here!

Benji + Connor: Chelsea, Manhattan Couple's Session

A WALK THROUGH CHELSEA

Ahhh these sweet friends of mine!! Benji and I have been Facebook friends for years and have followed each other on Instagram. We finally met up to do a shoot with a brand last year. He had such good things to say about Connor, so I knew I needed to meet him and do a shoot with the two of them. Then they adopted Ava, so I knew we needed to do a shoot ASAP!! We met up in Chelsea for this sweet little shoot (right after I got back from Boston by the way on a bus!). Enjoy these cuties!

Emily + Matt: Wagner Cove Proposal

A CENTRAL PARK PROPOSAL

Curious how to plan the best proposal? Look no further! Matt is proposal planner extraordinaire. I swear, I’ve never met a more thoughtful person. He legit thought of everything from flying her friends in to help set up to booking a photographer to finding the perfect spot in Central Park. I couldn’t wait to meet Matt and Emily because Matt seemed so cool. They were so cool and fun to hang out with! Definitely my kind of people.

Matt said he knew I was the right photographer when he saw my love for Friends because Emily also loves Friends. My quick responses via email and jumping on a call the same day sealed the deal. Photographers - make sure you’re responding same day at the absolute least. Matt first emailed me at 8AM, I emailed back within the hour and we jumped on a call a few hours later. By the time he signed the contract (around 5PM), he still hadn’t even received a response from the other photographers he emailed. I had not only done a phone call, but I sent a custom proposal! The early bird gets the worm is a true statement, so make sure to get ahead!

Layman + Michael: New York City Hall Wedding

A NEW YORK CITY HALL WEDDING

When two of your dearest friends decide to get married at city hall in the middle of summer and ask you to photograph it… You make sure you’re there! It worked out perfectly though! I just happened to be in NY for a workshop called Hustle and Flow and they got married the day before the workshop. It was ridiculously hot, but we managed to get outside for a few photos! Congrats to these amazing souls!! Can’t wait for the big wedding next year!!
