A couple session spent Exploring amazing & delicious foods in Flushing, Queens New York City

Jim & Linn live in Flushing, NYC (my neighborhood too!) Flushing is best known for their AMAZING and authentic Asian foods! There is sooo much here but that’s a whole other blog post. It was cool to meet another couple who loved this neighborhood as much as I do!! Jim wanted to document their love of each other and of the good food in this hood!!! We started their shoot at the Queens Botanical Garden and then scurried around downtown Flushing to get some of their favorite foods! We first hit up White Bear (A Flushing wonton STAPLE), then Duomi Rice Yogurt House, Tangram Mall for some Meet Fresh and Cuppa Tea! It was SUCH a fun session and I loved hanging out with them and enjoying our neighborhood and all the GOODIES it has to offer!!

An Intimate Backyard Wedding in Forest Hills, Queens, New York City

Pooh & Peter live in Queens and wanted to keep their wedding as local as possible! They got ready at the Paper Factory Hotel in Queens, New York City. It was such an adorable and gorgeous hotel with some many great spots to photograph at! One of my favorite things they had was this amazing book wall staircase - which was so perfect because Pooh loves to read- and is a teacher!!! With close friends and family, they had a beautiful and sweet intimate backyard ceremony at My Kitchen, Resturant in Forest Hills! It was such a great day! We were able to head over to Gantry State Park to get some portraits and the amazing skyline view of New York City - and just party the night away with some serious DANCING skills!
