On Wednesday, I headed to Bay Ridge for Sam and Lee’s engagement session. I had such a great time getting to know them – it made me super excited to photograph their wedding next month!
When I turned up to their apartment, they had set up their Scrabble board to be photographed. For those who don’t know, I’m a scrabble fanatic, so this was very very exciting to see and a great way to start off the shoot!
I’m so happy to be posting my best of engagement shoots for 2009. It was only mid-2009 that I began including engagement shoots as a part of my wedding package, but I’ll never go back! I have found that brides and grooms who take advantage of engagement shoots feel more at ease being photographed on their wedding day. They know how I work and we both get to know each other’s personalities more. It’s like a dress rehearsal!
Wow. I haven’t blogged in some time, but with good reason! (1) I’ve been mainly doing Hip Hop shoots and I can’t post any images from magazine shoots until they’ve been published… (2) I’ve been pretty sick.
Anyway, I met up with Farideh and Jon on Saturday in Flushing Meadow Park. As most east coasters can tell you, it was the COLDEST day of the year. I believe temperatures were in the low 30s, but the wind…! I feel that me, Farideh and Jon deserve some sort of an award, definitely, for braving the cold. Regardless of numb limbs, an uncooperative flash AND memory card, and the wind speed – it was a great engagement shoot. They are an adorable couple who were so much fun to be around. Also, Farideh has a wealth of knowledge regarding Flushing Meadow Park. I learned so much history!
Thanks for a great shoot. Enjoy Florida you two, you deserve some warm weather!
Definitely my favorite!
(promise to add more images soon!)
