Wedding Photography | Central Park, NYC | Jo & Ady

Jo and Ady had a wedding day much like how I imagine mine would be if I ever decided to get married. They flew over from the UK, combined their nuptials with their first-ever trip to NYC, and spent their special day with just their favorite people. No frills, no fuss, just love and the greatest city in the world at their disposal. And they couldn’t have ended up with better weather, either! It was the feel-good kind of day that made you wanna skip down the street singing (or wait, is that just me?).

They had a beautiful ceremony at the Ladies Pavillion, followed by a couple hours’ worth of photos around Central Park, and ending with dinner overlooking Columbus Circle at the Mandarin Oriental. Such a great day for such a great couple :D

Congrats, Jo and Ady!

Jo and Ady came over from the UK to get married in Central Park. They could not have been gifted with a more perfect day for their wedding. Here’s one shot from today (more to come soon!):

Engagement Photography | NYC | Ashleigh & Shawn

Ashleigh and Shawn showed up to their engagement shoot looking sharp and ready to have a blast. That’s pretty much all I could ever ask for when taking pictures, so I knew we were in for a good time :) We started off around my stomping grounds at Flatiron, then rounded out the shoot at Central Park.

I remember at one point, Ashleigh said to me “Lindsay, you’re so expressive – I love it!”. And it’s true – I have an extensive repertoire of facial expressions. I also have a ton of energy. So, if I’m taking pictures of you, be warned: you can expect me to laugh a lot, joke around, and have a big goofy smile plastered on my face the entire time. And if I get a particularly amazing shot, my face will light up, and I’ll say something along the lines of “OHMYGOSH I LOVE IT!”. I can’t help it – I get excited about things very easily, especially things I care a lot about (e.g. photography). And I’m pretty ok with that.

Speaking of excitement, I’m pretty psyched for Ashleigh and Shawn’s winter wedding next month! I’m normally not a fan of snow, but I’m secretly hoping we have some for photography’s sake. I figure I can handle a little January snow, since shortly after I’ll be shipping off to Hawaii for my 27th birthday! :D

Wedding Photography | NYC Elopement | Lauren & Dave

I absolutely LOVE the concept of elopement. Love, adventure, travel, and a wee bit o’ secrecy – that’s all pretty much right up my alley (sorry, Mom!).

Lauren and Dave eloped to NYC from Detroit this summer, and I got to be the lucky one who photographed their New York adventures! Peter of Film Cars drove us around the city in a checker cab (yep, the same one I had the pleasure of jetting around in this spring at Alison & Stephen’s wedding!), from Central Park to the Brooklyn Bridge. Looking back on it three months later, the thing I remember the most is how jazzed we were – all 4 of us. There was so much good energy between us all that made the day that much more enjoyable :)

Engagement Photography | Julie & Ben | Upper West Side, NYC

Ohhhhh, this is a special one.

I really love shooting people I know. If you’re a good friend of mine, you can likely attest to this fact as you recall the numerous times we’ve hung out where I pulled out my camera and made you hold that pose “riiiiiight there” so I could snap a few shots. Maybe I even pulled out my tripod so I could get a shot of us together… and perhaps I told you to tilt your head down or make a funny face. And you obliged because, well, you’re awesome – which of course is why we’re friends in the first place :D

I don’t think I ever quite subjected Ben to my snap-happy habits until now, but back in the day there was many a night spent hanging out at his apartment playing Rockband, where I certainly polluted the air with my overzealous singing and less-than-stellar guitar playing. Not only did he put up with it, but he’d also make me coffee at midnight when I was dragging. That’s a good friend right there.

So I thought I’d return the favor and take some awesome engagement photos of him and Julie :)

We traipsed around Central Park to the spot where they got engaged [insert *awwwwwww* here ;)], Shake Shack where they had their post-engagement celebratory cheese fries, Joe The Art Of Coffee where they often frequent (which btw is one of my go-to coffee shops when I’m in Manhattan), and Riverside Park. They were their silly, movie-quoting selves, and I was along to document the ride:
