Shearwater (Sailboat) Wedding, NYC – Darcy & Monty

When you’re planning a smaller, more intimate wedding, your options to create a unique experience really open up. You don’t have to worry about transporting or accommodating hundreds of guests. You can focus on your closest friends and family. Darcy & Monty wanted to create a truly memorable experience for their wedding and their guests, so they decided to have their ceremony on the Shearwater, a sailboat out of the North Cove Marina. Everyone was treated to a truly beautiful sunset ceremony with the Statue of Liberty as their background. And of course, there were spectacular views of lower Manhattan, as well. After the ceremony, they had a small intimate dinner at The Carlyle.

Patricia & Rory’s Highline Engagement Shoot, NYC

When it’s a beautiful day, what do you do, you go outside, right? But in NYC, the Highline gets crowded really early, so crowded that you can barely walk without bumping into someone. So when Patricia & Rory wanted to do their engagement shoot on the Highline, we knew we had to do it early in the morning! And I’ll be honest, I don’t think i have ever seen it that empty, except in the middle of the winter. But I think we got some great photos! What do you think?

Caitlin & Fred – Top of The Rock & Central Park Engagement Shoot

As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, by living in NYC, we are spoiled with so many fabulous locations that it’s very difficult to choose where to do your engagement shoot. For Caitlin & Fred, we traded probably 3 or 4 emails on suggestions or ideas of where they wanted to do their engagement shoot. Originally, we were supposed to do parts of the Highline or West Village. But in the end, we randomly settled upon the Top of The Rock and Central Park. To avoid the crowds we opted to do the shoot as early as possible. And with that came harsh sunlight, a not so ideal situation for good photos. But I think it worked out pretty. The light was not ideal, but the location and their wonderful chemistry and energy made up for that. You can see in the photos that they really have a special love and connection. Their chemistry is great and these are one of those couples where you know will be alright. Caitlin even showed off her fabulous dance moves and that had Fred crackin’ up! 😛 (See the 3rd image below)

Corinne & Anthony – NYC / Lower Manhattan Engagement Shoot

NYC is filled with so many classic locations for photo shoots, it’s quite overwhelming to choose. Central Park? Soho? East Village? Brooklyn Bridge? There’s too many from which to choose. But, when 2 attorneys get together, it seems quite fitting that they would choose to do their engagement shoot next the courthouse and many official government buildings in Lower Manhattan. I rarely go down to that part of town, but the area is filled with beautiful buildings that look like they belong in Washington DC. And it’s spectacularly beautiful.

As you can see from the photos, Corinne & Anthony have quite a connection. It’s pure simple and beautiful. During the photo shoot, I was lucky enough to see their chemistry and you can tell that they have what it takes to last forever! I cannot wait for their wedding next year!

jackie & ryan engagement – new york, ny

Clark Kent, that man in tights we’ve grown to admire, met the love of his life, Lois Lane, while working at the Daily Planet. But I digress, while at the Daily Planet, Clark masqueraded as the Man of Steel and his heart secretly longed for Lois. As Superman, he was always there to save her life, while fighting the urge to reveal his true identity. Ryan is very much like Superman minus the tights, super powers, and affinity to swoop in out of no where. He’s unabashedly a hopeless romantic, that crossed paths with Jackie while working at a newspaper. And while she was oblivious to his affection at first, weeks and months went by and their love grew. Much like Lois and Clark, Lois eventually realized that Superman and Clark were one in the same. He may not have a big “S” on his chest like in the comics, but he is Superman to Jackie and she is Lois to him.
