Congratulations on your wedding! Was it a New York wedding? A destination wedding? Was it held on a rooftop like Tribeca 360 modern space event, Midtown Loft, or Gary's Loft, or did you say your I Do's in St. Patrick's Cathedral and had a reception at the Park Plaza or the Regis Hotel? Maybe it was at Oheka Castle, or by the beach or water like Peconic Bay Yacht Club, or Old Field Club in Long Island? Regardless of where it was held, I'm sure everything was beautiful, and all the wedding planning leading up to the big day was all worth it. After saying your vows and dancing the night away, it's natural to take some time to enjoy married life - yes, you're married! - and soak in wedding bliss.

New York City is the city that never sleeps. That’s why many people come to this great city to enjoy the nightlife. Even when you’re from the area, you want to make sure that the city you love is incorporated in your special moments. Every year, people want to photograph the majestic beauty of NYC. When you’re on a rooftop, you want to be embraced in the concrete jungle. That’s what Raymond had in mind, to incorporate the feel of NYC in the surprise engagement proposal he had planned, where he asked his beautiful girlfriend, now fiance Meredith, her hand in marriage!
Kimberly Hotel surprise marriage proposal on a New York City rooftop.
The Kimberly Hotel was a great choice with their balcony overlooking the many skyscrapers of NYC. Her parents actually were hidden away, and they laid down the scene! Literally! They put the floral petals down, placed the champagne for the toast, and the bouquet to be given after. Who doesn’t want to be proposed to on a New York City rooftop? It was just magical and I wish all the very best to the young couple starting their journey. I love proposals, capturing them and sharing them is what I love to do. Helping capture these moments so my couples can relive it time and again is priceless. I’m humbled to be a part of it!

Sharing these fantastic engagement photographs of Rebecca and Danny before revealing their wedding photos in a few weeks! I enjoyed capturing them in their element as we wandered Central Park and Brooklyn’s DUMBO. The first set of photos below were taken by Jane’s Carousel in front of the former Domino’s sugar factory. We walked around the area, taking pictures in front of the Brooklyn Bridge as a backdrop, a NYC sculpture set on the great lawn, and an indoor park where we created a sunny sunset in the middle of the afternoon.
The second set was set during a drizzly day in Central Park’s Bethesda Terrace. Despite the weather, they looked romantic the arches as a setting, the famous fountain, and by Bow Bridge. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and as any New Yorker knows, those few days when the trees are in full bloom is a stroke of luck to catch for any photo session! We were truly blessed with the beautiful scenery for these two love-birds who met three years ago through a mutual friend, whom today are inseparable. I’m very honored to have met them and captured their engagement session and their wedding photos. I hope you enjoy them and give them some love!

It’s the height of wedding season and with New York City wedding engagement photography sessions underway, couples continue to inquire how to prepare for their engagement photo session. As photographers, it’s important I help all my clients feel ready and be prepared for their photo session. An engagement session in Dumbo, The High Line, Central Park, Gantry State Park, Grand Central, Park Avenue, or any location is their trial run before their big day. Ensuring you get the best experience is important. Here are some tips I’ve given to past clients to help them prepare for their photoshoot.
Last week I spent a few days working in Las Vegas, Nevada. As a wedding photographer from New York City, the chance to photograph in the desert, with a different scenery than an urban landscape, really appealed to me. I brought with me a few Sew Trendy Accessories dresses, a few more gown dresses, and photographed beautiful women with the Nevada mountains as a backdrop. Just in time for International Women's Day, I wanted to depict strong women, who still showed their feminine side while looking powerful in the glamour photos. Pictured here is Karenn from Las Vegas, a fellow Filipina who I met in Vegas and she was amazing. For the photographers out there, I captured the photograph with my Canon EOS 5D MarkIV, 24-70 2.8L at 27mm, Aperture 2.8, ISO 100, SS 1/200. I had a -3 stop ND Lee filter on my lens and lit Karenn with the help of Magmod spheres, grids and CTO gel on my Flashpoint Godox AD200 camera right on a Westcott light stand fired at full power.
The sun was setting behind the mountains at just after 3:24pm so it was still bright light outside. So bright with the sun directly in front of me, that I always caution to make sure photographers are keeping their eyes and cameras safe from the direct sun. However, at this point the sun, as seen from the photo, just started to go behind the mountain so I was able to open my lens to 2.8aperture from 5.0.
Other equipment used for this session included my SpiderPro Dual Camera System belt from Spider Camera Holster (will never leave home without it!), ThinkTank bag to carry my lenses and flash, SanDisk CF and SD cards, oh and RayBan sunglasses because the Nevada sun is bright!
Follow my Facebook page to see more of my work as well as my Instagram page. Feel free to ask any questions about the shoot whether you want to setup a photo shoot for yourself (portrait, engagement photos, pre wedding photos, anniversary photos, couple photography, bridal photos, headshots, etc), or if you're a photographer and want to learn more techniques.
Enjoy your day and make sure you do something fabulous today!
xoxo
