Stacey and Keith who had a winter wedding wanted to do a summer after wedding portrait session on the beach. We got to Jones beach just around sunset time and had a great time frolicking on the beach. The camera loves this couple because they are so natural and have a great chemistry.

Jamie and David and I clicked right away. They were fun and cute and just really excited about their engagement portraits. Jamie and David live and work in New York City but they are getting married in Florida so they wanted some essential NYC landmarks and places for their locations. Not to mention, David proposed in a helicopter to Jamie just over lower Manhattan - how romantic!
We started out in Central Park then headed over to DUMBO just around sun set time.
Jamie and David - thank you for all the laughs! I had a blast!

Nicole and Adam’s first meeting was emotional and touching.
Nicole looked absolutely stunning!!

I met up with Cathy and Vinh just the day after they got back from their Alaskan honeymoon.
The idea was to create some fun and beautiful after wedding portraits that can incorporate their doggy, Oreo as well. We started in DUMBO, then stopped at Grand Central and finished in Central Park.
I had a great time with Cathy and Vinh, and Oreo was generous to share the back seat with me! 
Here are some of my favorites from our session.

Beth and Tom chose the Robert Moses beach on Long Island for their engagement session. It was my first time visiting this beach and I thought it was beautiful and the perfect backdrop for a romantic beachy session!
Even an hour before sunset the beach was still crowded and people were enjoying the last warm summer days.
Here are some of my favorite images from the session.
Beth and Tom, thank you for the fun session! It was great getting to know you!
Looking forward to May!

Emily and Dirk tied the knot at Battery Gardens where the reception immediately followed the ceremony.
Dirk’s uncle was the minister at the beautiful ceremony. Friends and family enjoyed the cocktail hour on the terrace of Battery Gardens overlooking the Hudson River, the Statue of Liberty and downtown Manhattan.
Emily had not one, but two, amazing hair stylists, Sachiko Yanase and Stacey Pitt.
Emily chose lovely soft and pastel colors for her flowers and bridesmaids’ dresses.
Flower arrangements were made by Limelight Floral.
The girls hanging out in Emily’s hotel room.

Dirk and Emily’s first meeting on their big day.
Friends and families congratulated the newlyweds.
Some couples have a hard time cutting the cake with a regular knife. Emily and Dirk cut their cake with a sword!!
The perfect blend of music was provided by Carol Moore from A Starry Night.
Big thank you to Eddie, the maitre d’ at Battery Gardens who is so good at organizing, coordinating and keeping everything move smoothly.
Congratulations and best wishes Emily and Dirk!!

Abby and Neil got married. Again. This time in New York. Their first traditional Indian wedding took place in Trinidad a couple weeks before this wedding.
The wedding was beautiful and colorful and the reception rocked the house. People from Trinidad sure know how to celebrate!
We started the day with the formal portraits of Abby and Neil and their wedding party at Sands Point Preserves. The ceremony and reception took place in Jericho Terrace.
And at this wedding, the groom also wore white!!
Here are some of my favorite images from the day.
Abby, who loves the color blue, had blue shoes, blue flowers, and blue bridesmaid’s dresses.
The beautiful flowers were created by Flower Michele.
How cute is Jillian, Abby’s flower girl? Every time the camera pointed at her, she had a huge smile on her face!
You can still see the henna on Abby’s hands from their other wedding ceremony.
Special Indian dances were performed celebrating the newlyweds. It was beautiful and one of the highlights of the evening.
All the cameras came out when Neil was putting on a show while trying to remove the garter.
Congratulations to Abby and Neil.
The (two times) newlyweds are enjoying an Italian honeymoon.
