Kevin & Caitlin are getting married next October in the beautiful St. Catharine’s Church  with an evening reception on the shore at Clark’s Landing Yacht Club.  For their engagement portraits since they had just gotten a puppy (3 months old and soooo cute!) it made sense to capture them in their lovely Upper East Side neighborhood so we could do part of the shoot with Duncan and then part of it with just the two of them.  I enjoyed getting to shoot this happy couple with some of their favorite neighborhood establishments, including their local bagel shop, favorite wine bar and restaurants, and of course I had to pose them in front of the amazing old fashioned barbershop with candy machines out front just cause it looked cool… we met by the water and took advantage of the park areas between there and their apartment before they went in to return Duncan and do a quick wardrobe change.  Caitlin couldn’t have looked cuter in her chic black pants and leather jacket– I can’t wait to see her wedding gown–this woman has style!

Alli & Parker are getting married this August at The Palm House at Brooklyn Botanic Gardens.  I was excited when they chose DUMBO in Brooklyn for their engagement portraits because the last time I was there I saw a bunch of new murals around the neighborhood though I didn’t shoot more than a few of them.  This time I dove a little deeper engaging these colorful new walls as we walked down to the waterfront.  I was especially thrilled that Alli’s dress had splashes of color that totally worked with a handful of these murals!  We made our way to some scenes with the Manhattan Bridge and the Brooklyn Bridge and then I finished up with them next to this beautiful Carousel down near Brooklyn Bridge Park.  What a fun shoot– these two have serious chemistry, eh?  Check out my favorites!
