Whitney & Jarod: Sneak Peek! | Brooklyn Engagement Photographer | Brooklyn Bridge Park | DUMBO
I met up with Whitney and Jarod this Tuesday evening for an engagement session in Brooklyn. We scheduled their session right at the golden hour before sunset, and were rewarded with some GORGEOUS light! Loads more where these came from, stay tuned!
Sarah & Pete : Sneak Peek! | NYC Elopement Photographer | 6BC Community Garden
Yesterday I got to spend the afternoon with Sarah and Pete, who made their way up from Perth, Australia to get hitched in the city. I’m not sure I could ask for more ideal clients then these two! They were married in one of my absolute favorite little gardens in Alphabet City, and then we headed out for a grand photo tour of NYC from the warehouses of Greenpoint, Brookyln to the streets of Gramercy. Amazing! More to come!
Congrats guys!
Jean Ann & Eric | Brooklyn Wedding Photographer | Vander Ende–Onderdonk House
You guys, this wedding? I loved every minute of it. When I first met with Jean Ann and Eric and they told me about the venue they found in Bushwick, I was skeptical. An adorable little farmhouse with a rolling backyard? For real? I lived in this part of town when I first moved to NYC and couldn’t imagine a space like this existed. But low and behold these guys hit the jackpot. Beautiful farmhouse charm. Green backyard. And surrounding neighborhood with amazing character for photos?
Perfection.
Add in an adorable couple that can’t stop smiling and laughing, a group of friends who can bring the dance party, delicious food, and a beautiful day and you’ve got one awesome celebration!
Jean Ann looked gorgeous, and all her vintage details were beautiful. I loved the birdcage veil!
First looks = awesome.
After their first look, we hit the surrounding streets of Bushwick for portraits. Their friends made sure everyone knew the way to the ceremony from the subway with tons of sidewalk chalk!
I would just like to say that this area of Brooklyn ROCKS for photos! No offense Central Park, but I’ll take bright colors, amazing street art, and some cool old warehouse buildings any day!
We were primarily in the area around the Bushwick Collective, an outdoor gallery of sorts for fantastic street art. Super cool.
Can you get any cuter then these two?
We also stopped for cocktails, because why not?
I loved her bouquet!
Hurray for COLORS!
After portraits, we walked back to the house for their ceremony, which was held in the backyard of the VanderEnde house. I still can’t believe this place exists in the middle of a super urban industrial neighborhood.
They each wrote their own heartfelt vows.
Their reception was one of the best ever! You can NOT go wrong with taco trucks, guacamole, ice cream sandwiches, and oh yes, a second line band! Jean Ann went to undergrad at Tulane, and brought a little of New Orleans up to Brooklyn. This was my second wedding with a brass band, and they are hands down my favorite. These guys and their guests brought the dancing skills!
Seriously. Awesome-sauce.
SO much fun!
If this isn’t happiness. I don’t know what is.
Jean Ann and Eric, thank you for being amazing and so much fun! I wish you all the best, congratulations!
Kyle & Agustina | NYC Elopement Photographer | City Hall | Brooklyn Bridge Park
Kyle and Agustina are a fabulous couple! I met up with them for their photos early in the morning this past May at Brooklyn Bridge Park. I love couples that are willing to brave the early am wake up call to make beautiful photos! Dawn light is so lovely.
They brought along balloons to the shoot which made things extra colorful and fun!
Kyle’s only request was that a dinosaur balloon be present. I happily obliged, and am fairly certain I now have the only wedding photos that include a red T-Rex.
After the park, we also headed through DUMBO just a bit before heading over to City Hall for the ceremony.
Early morning light. SO gorgeous.
They managed to draw 666 and station 13. How’s that for some lucky numbers?
Agustina’s brother in law and niece, so cute!
After the wedding, we grabbed a few more photos outside City Hall. We also wandered over to the Balloon Saloon, where they had gotten the aforementioned balloons. This place is SO fun.
Also, Kyle is a fellow Minnesotan (and Gopher alumni!) and Agustina is from Argentina. So I figured this globe balloon was appropriate!
Felicidades Kyle and Agustina! I wish you both the very best!
Jean Ann & Eric: Sneak Peek! | Brooklyn Wedding Photographer | Vander Ende-Onderdonk House
You guys. This wedding had more awesome then I even knew what to do with! Jean Ann and Eric were married in one of the coolest venues ever, that also led us out onto the streets of Bushwick for some amazing photos! Their wedding had tacos and ice cream sandwiches. And a New Orleans brass band. Need I say more?
I’m super pumped for these images, more to come!
Congrats guys! Enjoy your train adventure!!
Louisa + Mark + Iona | Brooklyn Family Photographer | Prospect Park
Louisa and I got to be friends as coworkers at the first job I had upon moving to NYC back in 2008. I was only there for 6 months, but the two of us kept in touch sharing a love of hiking, good beer, and both having husbands pursuing crazy PhD’s. When I found out she and Mark were having a little one last fall, I couldn’t have been more excited! These guys are awesome parents and I was thrilled to shoot a family session with them in Prospect Park a few weeks ago!
Iona is the cutest baby ever, and was super adorable for the entire session. You can’t ask for better subjects then this!
Aren’t they such a sweet little family??
Look out world! Here comes Iona!
I’m pretty sure Iona already has him wrapped around her little finger.
Louisa and Mark, congrats on your beautiful baby girl! Thanks for a great afternoon!
Kyle & Agustina: Sneak Peek! | New York City Elopement Photographer | Brooklyn Bridge Park
I had a wonderful morning with Kyle and Agustina! We met early in the am at Brooklyn Bridge Park to take advantage of the gorgeous dawn light and it was well worth it! Loads of beautiful images on the way! Congratulations guys! Enjoy!
Mini Elopement Package Special! | Elope in NYC | NYC Elopement Photographer
As most of you know, I’ve been based primarily in Vermont this past year as my husband completes his PhD. It’s been an adventure going back and forth between the mountains and the city, but I’m excited to announce this fall I’ll be back in Brooklyn full time!
As a bit of a preview to fall, I’ll be in New York the entire month of June to shoot (and attend! Yay!) loads of fun weddings. To celebrate, I’ll be offering special mini elopement packages just for the month of June 2013 for any couples who’d like to elope outside of city hall. These will run $500 and include an hour of coverage for your ceremony and a brief portrait session, as well as your images on a disc.
I’d love to shoot some awesome weddings in some fun summer locations around the city. Coney Island or Governors Island anyone?
So what are you waiting for? Let’s do this NYC!
