elvar & katie get engaged, but not really…
Elvar & Katie came to me thru my photografriend Gina who wasn’t able to shoot their last minute session, so I stepped in. They have been married for 10 years (it was actually their 10 year anniversary on the day of our shoot) and Katie’s original engagement ring got misplaced someplace along the way. So Elvar picked out a gorgeous new engagement ring for her and set up (with the help of his brother and sister in law) a suprise “proposal” at Sunken Meadow beach. Katie was very surprised, they had a rather large audience of strangers cheering for them on the boardwalk, and we shot a few fun pictures for their engagement/anniversary/proposal/celebration. We unfortunately had to cut it shorter than we had originally planned as their daughter was home sick and they needed to get back to her fast, but I think we got some great photos in the time we had. Congratulations and happy anniversary to the happy couple!

catherine & chris get engaged!
Chris popped the question out in Southampton on the beach and I was so happy to be there to capture it. Chris and Catherine are like a total power couple- she’s in medical school and he’s in law school, and are still so lovely, down to earth and totally in love. They were great to photograph and I wish them only the best in their very bright future together! Loved the beautiful and simple engagement ring in a gold setting- you don’t see that too often these days.

the latz family
On another crazy windy day like today (except warmer, but also occasionally drizzly) we had a beach session for this beach session family! They have since moved to the area from out of state, so now it’s easier…wait. No, it’s not. They have college kids and high school kids all with insane schedules so it’s not any easier scheduling, but I’m glad we still fit it in!

the ferr family
Can you remember beach days? It was like a giant tease here with the weather for a while, like winter was over, and now its freaking miserably freezing again. So, lets go to the beach again if only thru pictures. Love this crew- so full of personality, amazing connections and fun.

lisa & michael get engaged!
With a lot of behind the scenes help from family and friends we were able to pull it all off! Michael decided to propose at The Ocean Club, which has basically no place for me to hide on the open beach in October! Lisa would easily have recognized me with my camera since she always sees me taking pictures at the Pat Agresti Memorial Foundation Softball Game (Michael is Pat’s son). So I hid in the restaurant area and shot the actual proposal from far out but still got what I needed. Lisa was so surprised and happy!! Her friends and family put together a bag of clothing options, makeup, hair products for her to change into after thinking she was going down to the beach to “clean out the cabana” so we could move right into an engagement session on the beach. And there was a bag of props (sign, champagne, etc) from Michael’s mom. Pretty brilliant!! After shooting with me they went to a surprise (well, surprise for Lisa) engagement party at a local beach restaurant. So a pretty exciting day all in all! And great, great job by Michael on a beautiful ring, choosing a beautiful inside and out fiance and pulling it all off! (there was a LOT of wind, you can even see the blowing sand by their feet & legs in the proposal pictures, but we made do). Wishing Michael & Lisa a lifetime of happiness and good surprises!
