Surprises are usually awesome, especially if it’s something like an engagement proposal. Kenan had contacted me a few weeks back, and wanted to know if I could help capture a surprise proposal to his long time girlfriend Stephanie. Surprise proposals are always challenging since there are so many factors and elements involved, but I was certain I can help capture some of those precious moments for this lovely couple. What’s crazy is that exactly four years ago from today, I was lucky enough to photograph my first surprise proposal, for my friend Ashish and Neema down in chapel hill NC. Fast forward 4 years, and this time it would be happening at the Brooklyn Waterfront. I met up with Kenan a few nights prior, just to see the special spot and plan things out for the main event. Kenan was super eager and very excited, and showed me the area where they both visited frequently. On the day of the proposal, the weather was a bit more gloomier than what we had anticipated, and there weren’t as many bystanders standing around, meaning I had no cover or a way to hide to not give away the surprise. Regardless, Kenan pulled it off, and they had a very sweet moment by one of their favorite spots. Stephanie was so excited, she was literally jumping for joy! We walked around Brooklyn for a bit more, got some cool photos, and the rest is history 🙂 These two were very fun to work with, had one of the most genuine chemistries as a couple, and had an amazing smile. Don’t believe me? Scroll below and see for yourself!
First moments are the trickiest! Trying my best to not be noticed by Stephanie. Kenan reading his note.
Here’s a post just in time for the Holidays! Bridget contacted me a few weeks back and wanted to do a winter themed engagement session with her fiance Jonathan. Thanks to either global warming or a natural fluke with mother nature however, we had one of the warmest Decembers in NYC! As in the day we scheduled the shoot in mid December, it was an absolutely perfect 70º day! Since the seasons have now shifted, this shoot is more of a fall e-session. However, with the warm weather and all the gorgeous colors throughout central park, I’m don’t think any of us were complaining. Without further ado, check out this winter fall engagement session below.
Today, I present you a truly unique engagement session. Callagee & Sam contacted me a few months back for a photoshoot after seeing an engagement session from Sid & Tanisha from last fall. If you haven’t seen that session yet, you can check it out here. It just so happens that Tanisha and Callagee are co-workers, and lucky for me, she had very nice things to say about me =) Sam and Callagee wanted to do an extended E-session similar to their session, but they wanted to keep things strictly local to the unique and wonderful borough that is Brooklyn. Not only did the couple both meet and worked at their law school library, but they have also lived in the BK for many years, and have grown quite fond of all it’s beauty and charm. Brooklyn is a special place for them, and judging by the unique variety in culture, art, food, and settings, it’s very easy to see why. Follow along with these two love birds, and explore Brooklyn through their great adventures.
