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:
