Samantha & Darren’s engagement party
The same day I photographed my niece being proposed to, I also shot this awesome newly engaged couple’s engagement party. There was a lot of driving and photography that day! Sam & Darren had lots of friends and family over to help them celebrate while surrounded with tons of love and well wishes. And the cutest floofy black dog that you could hardly make out in pictures! I think I may be photographing an engagement session for them and maybe their wedding too so stay tuned…

bitsy & kevin get engaged!
I put my best ninja photographer/stalker skills to work to capture my “niece” Bitsy (who was my flower girl at my wedding to her Godfather!) and her now fiance Kevin proposing! It was awesome!! Kevin decided to do it in front of St. Agnes School where they met in 4th grade. Her mom told me that a long time ago a psychic told her that Bitsy will go to school someplace with big green doors and it will change her life. Well, that was pretty spot on!! Kevin thought Bitsy was the cute new girl with the blue eyes when she transferred into St. Agnes in 4th. They haven’t been together since then, but after Kevin reconnected with Bitsy at their 10 year reunion and then matched on Hinge a year later, the dating commenced and now here we are! Earlier in the week I went over to the Hispanic Brotherhood (which is located directly across the street from the school) to attempt to explain to them that I’d like to hide around their property on that Saturday because Bitsy is way too smart and observant for her own good and if she saw me with my camera walking around, I totally wouldve ruined the surprise. After confirming that I’m really not a stalker (well, not in this particular case) I hid behind the building until she said yes. And she did!! Big thanks to Kerin and Karaline and Mom for helping me set the whole photography portion up (and to the girls for keeping me company from a distance while sitting behind the Brotherhood for like an hour!). Great job to Aunt Denise for getting the house set up for the after party and helping with the ring, which is beautiful! Oh, and I do need to mention that Bitsy was wearing her Color Street Amazing Greige polish which was a nice bonus! And if you’re curious about the cake toppers- their respective nicknames given to them since they were little babies are Bitsy Bee and Puppy.

lauren & brian get married- {the reception}
The last part of this super fun wedding for this super sweet couple. They had so many great moments during the reception I really struggled with choosing what to post but here are some highlights. I loved that looking over at them during different parts of the party, the two of them were in their own little world. Wishing them a lifetime of happiness!

the lync family
This awesome Dad bought his wife a bsquared gift card for a session for Mothers Day and they decided to use it last month for a family session at their summer home in Breezy Point. I think that was an excellent choice! Plus, it was a day or two before their oldest left for college so the timing couldn’t have been better. They were so great, inviting me for dinner/drinks after the shoot. Hopefully i’ll be able to stay next time cause I love Breezy and them!

the perr family
My second time (i think) shooting this crew out at their Hamptons summer home. I just love the boat!! The classic wood look to it is amazing!! We hit up the dock behind their home and then over to their beach club for the rest of the session. With their dog for all spots of course! It was a gorgeous evening and even though a significant portion of the family is not really a fan of the pictures, we made it as fun as possible. I even got to meet the grandparents and uncle this time! Looking forward to my next shoot with them!
