I put my best ninja photographer/stalker skills to work to capture my “niece” Bitsy (who was my flower girl at my wedding to her Godfather!) and her now fiance Kevin proposing! It was awesome!! Kevin decided to do it in front of St. Agnes School where they met in 4th grade. Her mom told me that a long time ago a psychic told her that Bitsy will go to school someplace with big green doors and it will change her life. Well, that was pretty spot on!! Kevin thought Bitsy was the cute new girl with the blue eyes when she transferred into St. Agnes in 4th. They haven’t been together since then, but after Kevin reconnected with Bitsy at their 10 year reunion and then matched on Hinge a year later, the dating commenced and now here we are! Earlier in the week I went over to the Hispanic Brotherhood (which is located directly across the street from the school) to attempt to explain to them that I’d like to hide around their property on that Saturday because Bitsy is way too smart and observant for her own good and if she saw me with my camera walking around, I totally wouldve ruined the surprise. After confirming that I’m really not a stalker (well, not in this particular case) I hid behind the building until she said yes. And she did!! Big thanks to Kerin and Karaline and Mom for helping me set the whole photography portion up (and to the girls for keeping me company from a distance while sitting behind the Brotherhood for like an hour!). Great job to Aunt Denise for getting the house set up for the after party and helping with the ring, which is beautiful! Oh, and I do need to mention that Bitsy was wearing her Color Street Amazing Greige polish which was a nice bonus! And if you’re curious about the cake toppers- their respective nicknames given to them since they were little babies are Bitsy Bee and Puppy.

A couple for all seasons, this time we hit up spring at Sagamore Hill at their request. It was a great session and we lucked out with the weather too. No Star Wars this session, but historical stuff so that was a good substitution! Looking forward to shooting their wedding in December.

Right after Christmas, I got to be stealth/ninja photographer and photograph Kenneth proposing to Sarah in Astoria Park! Kenneth got in touch to see if we could work it out where I could capture the proposal itself on the downlow and then stay for a few family/engagement photos afterwards. Between Kenneth and Sarah’s friend Chelsea, we worked out all the details and were able to totally get it done seamlessly. It was awesome!! Sarah was definitely totally surprised and so happy!! And then as another surprise, both Kenneth’s and Sarah’s families were in hiding in the park too and popped up right after the big moment for hugs, congratulations and champagne. It was a perfect shoot to end 2020 on a high note. Wishing Kenneth & Sarah all the happiness in the world!
