A Montauk, Long Island Engagement Photography Session

Well, well... what can I say about this lovely couple?  First of all, that they're super amazingly CUTE and awesome and a huge part of my life.  Alan has been great friends with Jeddy and I since, like, a gazillion years ago.  We've been through tons of ups and downs in each other's lives, and most importantly, we've been doing the work of Christ together at Awakening Church!!  I am so happy that Alan has found Joanne-- and she has since joined the [dream] team!

I've seen their relationship grow; from the early stages of dating and now onto their journey to become husband and wife.  I am so excited to be a part of their big day and for the many events leading up to it!!  They decided to do their engagement session in Montauk (where Alan proposed!).  It's a beautiful place, romantic and sweet... just like them two love birds ;)  It was really nice to get out of New York City and do a session somewhere different, quieter and peaceful. Not that I hate New York City- but its just a whole different vibe- a good place to take a break!! But I will forever love my job as a New York City Wedding Photographer!

A New England Wedding on the Beach with Emily & Mike

Emily loves, loves, loves the beach. That's why she and Mike searched hard for a venue that would best express her love for the beach. They chose Anthony's Ocean View in New England and it was a beautiful event and space for the affair. It was a nice getaway from my typical New York City Wedding. It was a brilliant wedding, the couple had such wonderful and supportive friends. I could really tell how much these two meant to people. One of my favorite parts of the wedding was when the brother of the groom was giving his best man speech. He worked at ESPN, and in his speech, he was telling a story about how Emily and Mike knew a boy who LOVED ESPN. Mike and Emily work with children, so they asked the brother if he could give the boy a tour of the headquarters. So his brother, who was at first SO excited to give them a tour... show them where he worked, what he did.. instead was so super touched by the awe and excitement of the boy. It was as if instead of being excited about himself, he was pleasantly given such an opportunity to bring such joy into a another person's life. It was really inspiring. Here are some of the highlights of the day:
