Portrait Photography | Marina from Alicante

brooklyn wedding photographer

While traveling in Spain, I met a Spanish girl named Marina. She is beautiful and full of life and possibly the most photogenic person I’ve ever met. She’ll be coming to the US this fall to study, so I’m sure this won’t be the last you’ll see of her on this blog :)

Wedding Photography | Empire State Building | Sneak Peek: Samantha & Brett

It’s not too often that you can say you spent Valentine’s Day photographing a wedding in the Empire State Building :)

Samantha and Brett had a super special wedding, followed by a super fun shoot at Grand Central Terminal. I am super stoked to share the rest of the images from their wedding day – coming soon, I promise!

Personal | What I’m Thankful For in 2010 | Thanksgiving

So it’s Thanksgiving (well, technically it’s Black Friday), and therefore I feel it’s only appropriate to do a Thanksgiving-related post :)

I’m thankful that I have sisters who will willingly pose for pictures, and even take the time to prepare for it (lots of eye makeup and hair straightening went into these looks – they’re nuts!):

I’m thankful for my kitty, who’s holding down the fort in Brooklyn while I’m back in CT for a few days visiting the family:

I’m thankful for my best friend, Lauren, who will also model for me at the drop of a hat:

It’s obviously no surprise that I post pictures of these 4 more than anyone or anything else on this blog :) You’re lucky they’re all so pretty!

Aside from my favorites, I’m also thankful for:

  • The amazing people I’ve met and friends I’ve made through photography
  • My mom finally feeling better (6 knee surgeries and 2 years later)
  • Having a dream and chasing after it
  • Living in New York City
  • Being able to travel as often as I do
  • Being super healthy (both physically and emotionally)

And on a slightly more frivolous level, I’m thankful for:

  • Trader Joe’s
  • Having the Internet at my fingertips pretty much 24/7
  • Chocolate
  • Having a washer/dryer in my apartment
  • Not having to work retail on Black Friday
  • Not having to work retail at all

Happy Thanksgiving! :D

Portrait Photography | Shannon rocks Autumnal Boston

You might not believe it, but this is my sister, and this picture was taken in Boston. I don’t think either fact is obvious upon first glance, but ’tis the truth! We went a-wandering in Jamaica Plain (a suburb of Boston) in search of foliage and ended up in the Arnold Arboretum, which is owned by Hahhhvahd (that’s Harvard in Boston-speak :P).

Usually when I visit, I bring warm, sunny weather to Boston. This time, not so much – it was about 40 degrees there in early November. So cold that Shannon had to stop and buy a pair of gloves while we were out. She totally pulled off a pair of $1.99 hot pink gloves from Goodwill during a photoshoot!

Engagement Photography | Sarah & Ali | National Mall, Washington D.C.

Sarah and Ali are just plain awesome. Really, you could insert any other positive adjective there and it would be a true statement. So when they invited me to come down to DC to take their engagement photos, I jumped at the chance. It ended up being nearly 100 degrees that day, but you would never guess it looking at their photos below. Seriously, I was dripping sweat while they were looking completely fabulous. How do they do it?!

Their shoot took place at the National Mall, the site of their first date. We went from the Lincoln Memorial, past the Reflecting Pool, to the WWII Memorial, and ending up at the Jefferson Memorial. I had a blast on our whirlwind tour of the Mall, and Sarah and Ali were so much fun to photograph! I’m SO excited for their wedding this fall – and this time we’ll be closer to my home turf, as they’re getting married in North Jersey :)
