    chaminade preprom

    My great clients got in touch asking if i could shoot their son’s Chaminade high school pre-not-a-prom (or “aqua prom”) party. Of course I was game! The party was held at another one of the boys’ family’s home with 5 couples and their families in attendance. It was a super fun shoot (especially capturing the 5 boys goofing around) and I hope they all had a great time at their “not a prom”! And somehow managed not to be stuck out on the water for the monsoon we had later that evening!

    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 lafa 50th anniversary

    A bit of traveling out east for this shoot, totally worth it! The whole family was awesome and they had a lovely small party for their parents at the Snapper Inn to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. Filled with family and friends (including their best man from 50 years ago!) they had a lovely celebration. We had to make sure the couple had a picture with all their grandchildren (who were present, anyway) and with the best man too!

    Samantha & Darren’s engagement party

    The same day I photographed my niece being proposed to, I also shot this awesome newly engaged couple’s engagement party. There was a lot of driving and photography that day! Sam & Darren had lots of friends and family over to help them celebrate while surrounded with tons of love and well wishes. And the cutest floofy black dog that you could hardly make out in pictures! I think I may be photographing an engagement session for them and maybe their wedding too so stay tuned…
