I had to take some time away from the blog because engagement sessions have gone into high gear. If you haven't yet scheduled a time for one, I would give us a call as soon as possible. We currently are booking two to three weeks in advance.
I figured I would start things back up with an awesome session.
I have been friends with Justin since high school. When he told me about his engagement to Linda, I couldn't wait to photograph them. It's so much fun photographing a close friend. They are open and ready for some of the wildest things I can come up with.
Since they live in the city, I thought it would be great to photograph them there. I chose Tribecca for the shoot because to me it really shows the character of NYC. The old buildings, the cobblestone streets, and all the color bring life to the usual grey cold city. I could wander around there for hours with a couple. The funny part is that they live in the city and had never been down there before.
After an hour of fun, Linda wanted to go to a spot in Central Park that she had heard was absolutely beautiful, the Bethesda Fountain. By the time we got there, the sun had set but that has never stopped me before. With a little creative lighting and an awesome location, we finished up a highly successful session.
The other great part about photographing friends is the dinner afterwards. We hit one of my favorite restaurants, Victor's Cafe. If you are ever in the Times Square area and love Cuban food, definitely check it out for some great food and sangria to die for.
Linda and Justin will be getting married later this summer in Cancun. I can't wait for that!!!
