A "Friends" Inspired Engagement Session at the High Line and Washington Square Park with Katie & Amarveer

Katie & Amarveer wanted to do their engagement photos at the High Line in Chelsea, New York City. They wanted the rich urban vibes of the High Line and get some cool New York City street views as well. After those classic shots, they had a few of their best friends meet them at Washington Square Park and recreate some classic “Friends” NYC poses! (I figured it was perfect timing to blog this during the FRIENDS 25th anniversary year!!!) We took a little dip at the Washington Square Park water fountain (which yes, diehard fans, that’s not exactly where they filmed the opening of Friends BUT it SHOULD have been! LOL) and dancing with some NYC pigeons. O_O! It was a lot of fun working with them and their awesome group of friends and this was a engagement session/friend session to remember!

Round Hill Mansion Wedding in Hudson Valley, New York

One snowy February, with the magical essence of winter swirling through the air, Eliza and David tied the knot in the heart of Hudson Valley. Remarkably, it had snowed heavily a couple days before their wedding; but on their day, it was the perfect, warm 70 degree weather to celebrate their love. What are the odds? This vivacious couple declared their love, colorfully in the eclectic Round Hill Mansion. They gathered their loved ones to their intimate, charming, rustic wedding. Tucked away in a cozy manor, they all danced the night away, filling the ambience with cheeky giggles and bliss. It was a beautiful space and a wonderful atmosphere away from New York City. It was a nice change of scenery and pace from the typical new york city wedding!

A Wedding at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Jersey City, New Jersey

New York City Hall Elopement and Reception at Casa Mono

Jessica and Lior wanted their family to share in their elopement in Cityhall.  So the whole troupe met at up at the New York City Hall and supported their vows and intimate ceremony!  Afterwards, a few rain drops broke out---but it didn't dampen the mood and aura of the group!  We proceeded to Casa Mono (A DELICIOUS Michelin starred restaurant!! @__@) for their reception, full of laughter, endearing speeches-- especially from the man who brought Jess and Lior together-- and amazing FOOD and drinks!  It was an awesome experience getting to spend a day with such a sweet group of people!  I love photographing these intimate elopements and capturing the moments that will matter for them in the future! I love being able to be their new york city wedding photographer! Here are some of my favorite moments from the day:
