New York City Engagement Session at the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Fabiana and Michele journeyed all the way from Brasil to capture their engagement session in the vibrant heart of New York City. Fabiana's deep connection to the city, having lived and studied there, made the Metropolitan Museum of Art the perfect backdrop for their photoshoot. Despite the biting cold of a typical NYC winter day, we ventured into Central Park, embracing the frozen beauty of the lake for stunning shots. Being entrusted as their New York City wedding and engagement photographer was truly an honor, allowing me to capture the essence of their love amidst the iconic backdrop of the city that never sleeps. I am so glad they chose me to be their New York City wedding and engagement photographer!

Classic and Elegant New York City Wedding at Gelso and Grand on the Lower East Side

Angelo and Jennifer wanted a classic New York City wedding that would be beautiful, and elegant but also a great time for their friends and family. They decided on Gelso and Grand, an Italian restaurant on the lower east side of Manhattan that borders Little Italy and Chinatown - a nod to both their backgrounds and cultures. Jennifer wore a gorgeous Haley Paige wedding dress, which she fell in love with and bought even before she started planning the actual wedding! They both got ready at the Hotel 50 Bowery headed over to St. Patrick's Old Cathedral for their ceremony and ended the night with delicious food, drinks, dancing and indoor SPARKLERS!!

Prospect Park & Park Slope Brooklyn Engagement Session in NYC

Laurie and Matt wanted to do their engagement session at some of their favorite local spots in Prospect Park & Park Slope Brooklyn. We spent some time at Prospect Park, then maneuvered our way over to one of Laurie's favorite bars. It's always so great to be able to go to more comfortable spots and capture people at places where they feel the most at home. I’m so thankful I am able to be their New york city wedding photographer and I will be photographing their wedding at the Green Building in Brooklyn in a couple of months! Here are some of my favorite shots from the session:

Beautiful Wedding at The Brooklyn Winery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn New York

Andrea and Danny planned a simple, sweet ceremony and reception at the Brooklyn Winery in Williamsburg. It was gorgeously decorated with a flower arch against the edginess of the venue. The wedding was filled with so much joy and laughter. Beautiful speeches from their friends and family and the most adorable first dances of Andrea and her dad and Danny and his mom. They really know how to get down!! Hahaha! It was definitely a day to remember!!
