    eric & aine get engaged- the portraits

    First, i apologize for the misspelling of aine’s name (not ania, although that’s how it’s pronounced). Second, here’s the next (and last installment) of their proposal/engagement session. We hit up a few special spots on campus to take some portraits of the really-newly engaged couple. They are so happy and in love, it didn’t take much to pose them- they did it pretty much all on their own. Lots of snuggles and giggles and kisses and a little dancing thrown in for good measure. And the fact it said “…with joy…” right by them at the fountain where they sat is a perfect coincidence that i loved! Congratulations again to this gorgeous couple!! Help me wish them a lifetime of love and happiness!

    and an extra thank you to the hubs who drove me up to Fordham (ya know, the “real” Fordham where he went for his bachelor’s degree as opposed to the “fake” Fordham where I went (lincoln center) for my masters degree), gave me a tour around campus and let me take pictures of him so i could pretend i wasn’t waiting for them to walk over!

    eric & ania get engaged!

    Eric reached out to me when he had his proposal to his girlfriend all set up (I’m telling you- he was the pillar of organization and thorough information- I loved that!!) at Fordham University. Being that’s where they met and spent a lot of time together, it was the perfect place to propose. Ania was so, so surprised which was wonderful. And then she said yes! They were so happy and sweet and fun! The parents were even there to celebrate their engagement and watch it all unfold. Here’s a few shots of the actual proposal- the portraits we took afterwards are up next so stay tuned…

    annie & jeff are engaged!

    Annie is my former around the block neighbor (and her mom still lives there while Annie moved to nyc) and when she got in touch to set up an engagement session for her and her fiance Jeff, you know I was super excited! And then when Annie told me it was at one of my favorite NYC parks and surrounding neighborhood, I was extra in! So congratulations to the happy couple and I hope everyone enjoys the pictures from their session.

    sara & ryan get engaged!

    Ryan is a longtime client and to say that my head was spinning when he asked if i could come shoot his proposal photos would not be an exaggeration! I mean he’s still a little kid in my head who HATES getting his picture taken! Time does fly by! Here is our lovely and artistic rendering of how we were positioning the proposal. And here are the resulting shots from the actual proposal. She said yes! Congratulations to Ryan & Sara and thanks so much for having me along for the ride!

    jacqueline & craig

    This couple came to me thru my faux niece Bitsy as Jacqueline is Bitsy’s fiance’s sister. Follow that? We only had this one day to do their session as Craig lives out of town and was only around for this date- so even though it was crazy windy and threatening rain, we went ahead and got it done. Loved Jacqueline’s request of bike riding on the boardwalk while holding hands! I’ll be photographing their wedding soon so be on the lookout for those pictures by the end of this summer. Congratulations to the happy couple!
