This was very nearly the Manhattan engagement session that almost wasn’t! Abbie and Bryan are super busy people. No surprise because only very important people hire us! Unfortunately it sometimes makes scheduling difficult. Abbie started a new job that required travel, there was bad weather, we got booked with portraits as the fall arrived. Let’s not forget the weddings that were already scheduled every weekend! We must have rescheduled this session about five times! But then the deadline for Abbie and Bryan to print their save the dates was looming and we made it happen.

There was some rain in the forecast for the day we met this fabulous couple at the Seaport in Manhattan, but we decided to just go with it! We had no choice! It was now or never. It only sprinkled a little, and we think it was to our advantage. Sometimes, they wet everything down on a movie set before filming because the water brings out the colors and adds a little reflection. We think we got the same effect from the rain! Look at those wet cobblestones! And the blue of Abbie’s dress just popped!

We’re so glad we were able to at last make this engagement session in Manhattan happen with Abbie and Bryan. As Abbie’s cookie from Funny Face Bakery says in the last image … fucking finally!

The Boston Seaport has grown up! And we had the best day exploring it with Giana and Andrew during their engagement session. These two were such pros in front of the camera and made our job a breeze! Look at Giana’s perfect foot placement when she twirls. And the way Andrew casually put his hand in his pocket was so GQ.

One of our favorite photos of the session was of Giana in her red dress standing against the red wall backdrop of the Buoys in Boston art installation. Even with the matching color, this girl stands out — no wallflower here!

Giana and Andrew, we can’t wait to celebrate your wedding with you!

The blanket of snow in Brooklyn on the day we photographed Allie and Blake’s engagement session made for a pretty incredible backdrop. We are not shy about saying we hate the cold. We do. But we love Allie and Blake, so we were thrilled to meet them in their neighborhood to capture this exciting time in their lives. And the post session drink Allie and Blake took us out for didn’t hurt!

Spending time with Allie and Blake was like hanging out with old friends. We shot the wedding of one of Blake’s sisters (he has five!) and also took photos of his cousin’s wedding. Blake, his sister and his cousin all chose New York City-based wedding planner Whitney Events, and we are always super excited to work with them! Dream Team!!
