Jen and Kevin are the sweetest of couples. At first impression, Jen’s outgoing persona aptly complimented Kevin’s very calm presence. After spending some time warming up with this couple, we realized quickly how at ease they were with each other. Their jokes morphed into giggles, and their giggles gave way to an abundance of laughter. We would be lying if we said they weren’t a lot of fun to pass time with.
We started our session in NYU’s Kimmel Center… but not just in any room. They made arrangements to occupy one of the music rooms, (a love they both share), and even played a couple of songs on the piano for us. We later learned this is how they first met– via a piano! Here’s an excerpt from their wedding website:
We met at OCM in September of 2000. Ironically, we met when I heard this random tall guy playing Canon in D. It was smooth but lacked some pizazz. So I decided to go over there and improvise on top of the original melody, something I love doing. “This is FUN! I have someone to JAM with! :)” – I thought to myself… and soon enough, we started playing together each Sunday after service for a while… I finally found out by chance that his name was Kevin… and he finally figured out my name was Jen…
We ventured the hallways, staircases, a study room, and eventually worked our way through the beautiful Washington Square Park. We ended our time at the nearby eateries (hint: peanuts and falafels), paying special homage to Mamoun’s Falafels on MacDougal– one of their go-to date spots while Jen was attending NYU.
Although we won’t be there for Jen and Kevin’s wedding day celebration this fall, we’re so honored that they asked us to photograph their engagement session. Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your celebration.

Our lovely couple had chosen Princeton for their engagement session, as this place held a lot of significance to them both. Just a few months back, Eric had surprised Kat with the big question… and obviously, she said “Yes!”
Kat and Eric were extremely relaxed throughout the session. Asking this couple to get comfortable during the session was like asking an golden retriever puppy to ‘look cute’. We took them around the quieter side of the Princeton downtown, dodged the Saturday morning crowds, told them to make funny faces, borrowed a few bikes from the kind people at Jay’s Cycles (shouts out to the awesome staff!!) and all while having so much fun doing it. Their customized Timbuk2 messenger bags and matching ‘couples’ sneakers were an excellent personal touch… Brilliant idea, you two!
Congratulations once again to our friends Kat and Eric, and thank you for inviting us along to celebrate your engagement.
(on a slight sidenote: Smithsonian Magazine recently nominated Princeton as the 12th ‘must see’ small town in America for 2012.)

When you put together a ridiculously cute couple, custom sneakers, matching Timbuk2 bags, and wrap them all up in an engagement session in downtown Princeton NJ, the result is a whole lot of awesomeness (as seen below).
Be sure to leave this couple some love on our facebook page, and come back soon to see more photos from Kat + Eric’s engagement session.
