Joni+Richard

Mariann December 30th, 2007

Joni and Richard is a real jet-setter couple. They met in New York, they live in Texas and getting married in Florida.

After meeting at a mutual friend’s wedding on Long Island, they spent a whole day together in the city. They are planning a Florida wedding but wanted to return to the city where they fell in love for their engagement photos. Isn’t it romantic?

So we visited some of the places that meant a lot to them personally and some other famous city sights. It was a very cold December day but still got some gorgeous soft lights. Joni and Richard braved the cold New York weather and we ended up with lots of beautiful images.

Joni and Richard are such nice people and I really enjoyed spending some time with them and taking their portraits.

Ann+Matt

Ann and Matt and I had to revise our plans for the outdoor engagement session twice due to Mother Nature and the weather it has sent our way. We decided to do the engagement session mostly indoor and we ended up with great and unique portraits. Some seasonal holiday decorations definitely helped to make the photos one of a kind!

Here are a few of my favorites.

Ann and Matt are completely natural in front of the camera and they photograph so well.

I am really looking forward to their summer Manhattan wedding.

Russ+Elena+Daniel (+Vina)

Russ is the big brother of Laura and Andrea, two of my brides from last year.

The whole family is so warm and welcoming; it is always so nice to see them and take their portraits.

When Russ and Elena were expecting their first child, Laura and Andrea decided to give a family portrait session as a gift. A year later I finally got to meet Daniel who is super cute and have big gorgeous eyes.

Here are some beautiful portraits of Russ, Elena and baby Daniel.

Elena loves taking photos herself and she had lots of great ideas for poses. She has already taken over a thousand images of baby Daniel.

Andrew+Tricia+Paul

Mariann December 15th, 2007

I have been photographing Paul since he was seven months old and it is so amazing watching him grow and learn over the last few years. He is over three years old now and truly loves life.

Paul loves collecting leaves, picking up worms, jumping into big piles of leaves, rolling in the grass and always with a huge smile on his face.

You can’t help but laugh with him.

Here are some of my favorite family portraits of Andrew, Paul and Tricia.

Danielle+Chris

I had a wonderful time photographing Danielle and Chris’ engagement session.

Not only we all got to know each other a little, but I also got a personal tour of Huntington Village and nearby areas.

Danielle and Chris picked a great variety of spots and we took advantage of the gorgeous autumn foliage as well.

Here are some of my favorites from the many amazing shots of them. Enjoy.
