brian + brooks – wedding in central park, nyc

As is the custom in April, rain threatened to make their dreams of an outdoor wedding in Central Park very difficult.  In the end, it all went our way and the weather cooperated for Brian and Brooks who had traveled from South Carolina to tie the knot NYC style.  What a complete and utter joy it was to photograph this wedding.  Brooks, you never stopped making me laugh all day.  From the minute I met you in the lobby and you said, “Oh my gosh, look at my hair!  I look like Little Bo Peep! What am I going to do?!”  You kept your cool and quickly (seriously, like 5 minutes) went from Bo Peep to stunning gorgeousness.  You and Brian are not only a great couple, but also great parents with the coolest kids ever!  I watched your family and thought, now THIS is how it’s supposed to be.

I’m so happy to have been your photographer.  Thank you for making my job so darn easy :-)  I hope you both had a fantastic time in Jamaica and I’ll look forward to a trip to Myrtle Beach someday to say “hello”!

phil + vicky – wedding at All Souls Church, nyc

Phil and Vicky along with their family and close friends flew to New York City all the way from England to tie the knot.  Their original plan was to get married in Central Park, however the rain and cold moved their ceremony to All Souls Church on the Upper East Side.  The wedding was planned to perfection by Julie Lindenman from I Do New York.  I work with Julie quite a bit and it’s always a pleasure!  The ceremony was beautiful and the space was just right for the occasion.  After the ceremony, we did some group photos in the church. Just as we were about to head over to the Empire hotel for some bride and groom portraits, we stepped outside and lo and behold, the rain had stopped!   Yay!  Happy photographer!  We took some photos on the gorgeous grounds of the church and then hopped in a car to travel to the hotel.  The Empire is located right across from Lincoln Center, so we took a few shots there until we were scolded by security…apparently you need a permit to shoot there.  Who knew?

Thank you Phil and Vicky for letting me be a part of your day.  I had a blast!  You were just a pleasure to be around and your friends and family were just lovely!  Have fun at your hometown party in May!

matt + christina – surprise proposal in central park, nyc

Seems like I’ve been glued to the Weather Channel app on my phone non-stop lately.  Rain was in the forecast all week, but Mother Nature gave us a break on this particular day.  Matt and Christina flew into NYC for a vacation and took an innocent stroll through Central Park.  Little did Christina know that life was about to get a little bit sweeter on this day!  Matt enlisted me to photograph his proposal to Christina and, as always, I was honored to be a part of such a special, important day in their lives.   They are such an awesome couple and so in love!  It was a pleasure spending the afternoon with them.

Here are just a few of my favorite shots from the day.  CLICK HERE to view their proposal story slideshow! Tons of great moments!
