Gorgeous Golden Hour Engagement Session at Montauk Beach, Long Island

I’m mostly based in New York City and usually shoot the urban backdrops, but sometimes I get opportunities to see other parts of New York State- haha. So for Ian and Meg’s engagement session, we ventured deep to the tip of Long Island, to Montauk. I was able to experience the serene beauty of Montauk Beach. The sun was GORGEOUS and it cast its golden hues across the horizon— and Ian and Meg's affection was so palpable — and I was so happy to be able to document that in their photographs. The entire session was so much fun and I wish them the most beautiful future together.

Outdoor Elopement at Brooklyn Bridge Park and 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge

Crystal and Nick had their outdoor ceremony and reception at Brooklyn Bridge Park in New York City. We first got ready at the 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge - Crystal looked SO STYLISH in her wedding pantsuit (obsessed!) and Nick looking spiffy in his dark suit- the two looked great for our editorial-like photo shoot before the ceremony! :D The backdrop for the ceremony was perfect and they had a lovely intimate and sweet ceremony. With a handful of close friends and family, (and a webcam streaming to more friends and family) they exchanged their vows and rings (rings that they welded themselves…!) right in front of the view of the Brooklyn Bridge and NYC Skyline. Afterward, they had a lovely outdoor picnic and enjoyed their time together. It was such a sweet day and Crystal and Nick were amazing to work with! So glad I get to be a new york city wedding photographer capturing these beautiful and heartfelt memories. Here are some highlights from the day:

Romantic Liberty House Restaurant Wedding Filled with Lush Greens and Classic Details and a Beautiful View of New York City

“The wedding look had a mixture of romantic tones and modern classic details. I love greenery and flowers, so we had a hanging floral piece above the sweetheart table, which looked amazing surrounded by the walls of windows at the venue that showed Liberty State park, the river, and the New York City skyline in the background. It was incredible! We got so lucky to have this purple and pink sunset that lasted for a good part of the evening. The invitation shared in the same floral detail with a modern twist that continued to Jaspal's classic blue tuxedo and the beading of my dress. From that, the vibe of the wedding was sincere appreciation and love for all of our guests who were extremely happy to celebrate with us! We wanted everyone to feel part of the party and excitement of the day. I didn't stop dancing for a minute.” - Fabiana, the beautiful Bride.

We began the day in Queens at Fabiana’s parent’s home, then headed over to their church for the beautiful ceremony. Afterwards we went to New Jersey to Liberty State Park for portraits and finally ended the night at Liberty House Restaurant for their reception. It was such a fun filled day!! Fabiana is part of triplets and the 3 sisters were so adorable and fun to work with! I was excited to be a part of such a memorable day!!!
