Steve and Sabrina's Engagement Session (Astoria, NY)

Astoria, Queens is one of my favorite spots in NYC. It’s where many of the best people I know in NYC live and it’s always a great area to wander and take photos when in Queens. Astoria Park is especially photogenic with its beautiful water views, street art, and giant arches. When Steve and Sabrina said they wanted to meet there for their engagement photos in October, I was thrilled.

Eryn and Donnie's Engagement Session (West Village, NYC)

Eryn and Donnie are some of the most fun, effortlessly cool people I’ve ever met. What better place to photograph their engagement session than in the West Village?

Eryn and Donnie are some of the most fun, effortlessly cool people I’ve ever met. What better place to photograph their engagement session than in the West Village? It also happens to be their favorite spot in the city. We spent the afternoon wandering through the neighborhood stopping at some of their favorite bars and coffee shops. I can’t wait to photograph their wedding down in Huntsville, Alabama later this year!

Lela and Paul's Engagement Session (New York, NY)

I met up with Lela & Paul in November for an engagement shoot at a few of their favorite places in NYC. We started in Manhattan at Central Park where the foliage was absolutely at peak color (STILL in November!). We wandered through the park and made our way East to Carl Shurz Park to take advantage of the beautiful bridges and water views. Lela & Paul live in Astoria, Queens so we ended our shoot there and I got to tour some of their favorite local spots, ending the day with cocktails at The Bonnie.
