It really was a lot of fun photographing Erin & Brian's engagement session last week! They live in the Heights near my studio and thought it would be a cool idea to do their engagement session around here. I met them at their house and we did a few in front of it and at a near park down the street. It was great because this location was more personal to them (more than any one I could have chosen) and I was able to get some cool images from the locations they picked! I'm definitely going to try and leave it up to my clients to choose their engagement session locations more often from now on, just to keep things fresh. You never know what kind of fun ideas you might come up with!!
They are having a backyard wedding this coming October. From what they've told me so far, it's going to be stylin'...I'm looking forward to it!

I know I've gone through a dry spell of blogging lately. I'm going to try to be better at keeping my blog updated though! I'm going to create a series of post geared at showing brides different products and services I offer and give them a little insight on how we do things around here. First up...Album Designs!
Currently all of our albums are custom designed In-house. We try to keep the layouts on these as simple and modern as possible, choosing to highlight the images over lots of clutter and faded backgrounds that may look dated in a few years. My thought is that your album should look and feel timeless! That's why we keep the designs as simple and elegant as possible in a way that uniquely tells your story!
Check out a design below from Shelly & Paul's wedding below. They had an amazing event at Hotel Derek!

Allison and Richard had an elegant daytime wedding at Rockefellar Hall last month. I really loved the details Allison put into her wedding and the parasols were awesome! It definitely adds another element to the portraits...I hope after seeing these some of my current brides go out and get some ;) Big thanks to my assistant shooter Troy Covey for helping me with this one...check out a few of my favorites from their day!
