Eric + Wendy Engagement

We met up with Eric and Wendy on a cold and chilly autumn morning. When we first parked our car, the sun had come up just enough to give us a big warm greeting. This made for beautiful lighting, and yes, you guessed it, awesome photos!

Their engagement session began at the Highline. This park, located on the West Side of Manhattan, was once a network of train tracks delivering freight. Activists and locals fought for the preservation of this abandoned railroad for the last 10 years. This past summer, the park was finally open to the public. The Highline is an open-space public park filled with an abundance of flora and greenery. Definitely work checking out!

After the Highline, we travelled to D.U.M.B.O. right under the Brooklyn Bridge. Eric and Wendy were the perfect combination of relaxed and intimate– exactly the kind of couples we love working with.

Thanks for a great day, and we’re looking forward to your wedding in FIVE DAYS!!

Wendy + Silas

We’re very excited to finally do a blogpost on the Silas and Wendy’s big day!

The entire day was pretty much one big party. There were a ton of guests & relatives who flew all the way from the Lone Star State. The gigantic bridal party (we lost count… obviously, they are a well-loved couple!) was friendly, relaxed and very easy to work with. Not to mention a super-good-looking Bride and Groom.

Beyond all the partying, the day was full of emotions. Some of the most precious moments on a wedding day take place when the bride and groom see eachother for the first time, often as the bride approaches her groom down the aisle. It is in those few minutes that all those months of planning, stressing and anticipation fade away.

One photo that stands out to us is the 11th photo down. In the minutes leading up to the wedding ceremony, Silas had gathered in back office of the church with all of his groomsmen and the officiating pastor. His groomsmen gathered around him and laid their hands upon his shoulders for one last prayer. As they prayed for their fellow brother, his future marriage and bride, tears began streaming down his face. It is in these moments that make our job worthwhile.

In the end, it is not about photographing fancy weddings or beautiful venues. It is really about capturing those raw moments that unfold into a beautiful love story. This is exactly what we strive for constantly– and we do it with photographs.

Frank + Jennie Engagement

We had a lot of fun photographing Frank and Jennie’s engagement shoot on Douglass Campus at Rutgers. Soon after our shoot started, we realized how little prompting we needed to give this particular couple, since they easily got themselves warm and cozy. This made our jobs very, very easy! Better yet, they introduced us to some cool locations we may have never found ourselves.

Congrats to you both, and looking forward to your wedding next July!
