Brooklyn Engagement Photos – Meet Brian and Tom!

June 23, 2010 – 11:58 am

I’ve been holding out on blogging Brian and Tom’s engagement shoot, but I couldn’t wait any longer! First I want to mention that Brian keeps a blog called The Gay Wedding Experience and it is a great read for anyone who is planning a wedding. Brian is very detail oriented and organized (at least his blog leads me to believe that…), so perhaps it wasn’t so surprising that when I mentioned I was bringing chalk boards, Brian and Tom turned up with a backpack filled with props. Fun? Fun!

I’m excited to share these photos! (Though I realize if you are a fan on facebook then you’ve already had a peek at a lot of them.) Brian and Tom were amazing to work with and I cannot wait (truly I can’t) to capture their big day in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico this fall. Their wedding is going to be amazing (trust me), but for now check out their engagements session.

Brooklyn Promenade – Surprise Proposal – CJ and Mike

May 6, 2010 – 6:34 pm

A few weeks ago I had the privilege of photographing Mike’s surprise proposal to CJ at the Brooklyn Promenade. There was a lot of planning, organizing, secret-keeping, and sneaking around that went into this day… I’m super happy to report that it went over perfectly!

Photographing a surprise proposal makes me feel like a wildlife photographer. It’s kind of fun, sneaking around, being super quiet and this time I had to wear a disguise! I know CJ, so if she saw me with a ginormous lens pointing at her, she would probably have caught on to Mike’s elaborate plan! So I piled on several layers and took up a hiding spot far, far away behind a garbage can. I’m quite sure I looked completely insane, but it was well worth it!

Here are a few of my favorite shots from the proposal!

Afterwards, the surprise continued as I hurried off to Buttermilk Bar in Brooklyn to photograph CJ and Mike’s surpise party (also organized flawlessly by Mike and CJ’s friends)! Stay tuned for part two coming tomorrow!

Downtown Brooklyn Engagement Shoot – Kayla and Mike

March 17, 2010 – 11:50 am

As you can see by the snow on the ground, this engagement shoot took place a few weeks ago. I sincerely hope that this is my last shoot that has snow in it for a long time (did I just jinx this gorgeous weather?! I hope not!).

Kayla and Mike were so fun to photograph. There is a chance that Kayla was dangling the idea of fried food at Chip Shop over Mike’s head the entire time, but he was a really good sport. It was a cold day after one of our big snowstorms. We walked around Boerum Hill and Brooklyn Heights shooting in some spots I’ve always wanted to shoot – including Brooklyn Height’s Love Lane! Enjoy and happy (almost) spring!
