My girlfriend Louise was my very first client and was VERY vocal about how much she liked her pictures. I think she emailed/called/texted every person she knew to try and fill up my calendar. One person who bit was her dear friend, Giselle, who asked me to take pictures of her little family. On a beautiful Saturday morning, I ventured out to Long Island with makeup artist, Nydia, to do just that. It was kinda hard not to fall in love with the them.
Laugh. Snort. Giggle. Repeat. That's a pretty accurate breakdown of how my morning went with Daina and Brian in Central Park. The couple chose the park and their favorite coffee house, Kickshaw, for their pictures-the park because it's where they had their first kiss and the Kickshaw because...well, you'll see. Daina and I have been blog buddies for a while now, so it was nice to finally meet and be able to take these adorable pictures of her and her honey. Boy, did we have a fun day together! Here's the proof.
Shout out to my girl, Nydia, for hooking Daina up with makeup!
Kelly has been reading my blog for quite sometime and when she saw that I was looking for a newlywed couple to get all dolled up and retake their wedding portraits, she volunteered her sister, Sam and her new husband, Ken. Sam and I quickly became email BFFs and organized a beautiful shoot near her home at Van Cortlandt Park. This couple is cool. Real cool. And I wanted to make sure the pictures drove that point across. Thanks to awesome makeup courtesy of Sam at JK Flashy and an awesome photographer, we got the job done.
I have just one more thing to say here and I'm only going to say it once (in this post): Please, please, please make sure you're comfortable and happy with your choice of wedding photographer. Your memories of the happiest day of your life will fade, I promise you that; your photos (and video, if you so choose to have one) will be the only portal back to that time in history. You must choose, but choose wisely. Okay, rant over.
