What more do I need to say about Asia and Tammy? They are a low key, fun loving couple who deeply love with all of their being. Silly, Sarcastic, and always a good time - We took an engagement session with these two at Schodack Town Park, maybe one of my new favorite places for a nice wintery sunset through the forest (you’ll see what I mean at the end). This is a place that is not without beautiful fall colors and a fun path through a small forest, close to the river and plenty of room to roam.

Colleen and Bill (And Bear!) are a super fun and FUN LOVING couple who are up for adventures. The city of Albany hold a very special place in their hearts, so we explored the city where they met, and where they lived and worked within. This day was NOT SHORT of TONS of laughing, tons of really silly and RIDICULOUS things happening, and definitely creations of some more moodier photos with some quiet moments.

Kevin and Katherine are one of the most chill people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting, and yes I know they are at this point as i’m typing this MARRIED and SO IN LOVE and have had THE BEST time at their wedding, But i can’t help but want to do all of my Blogs in chronological order! Let me tell you though, couple’s all start out the same, a little nervous and unsure and then completely confident and ready to just have some fun. These two were no exception

These two are completely in love, you can tell by how much giggling they were doing throughout this entire engagement session. Even though you can’t hear them giggling and chittering away at telling each other sweet nothings. You can tottaly see the amount of laughing. COMMON MOTIF: Making each other laugh, one of many ingredients to love.

Cue haters of super sweet statements

If you don’t believe me, just check it out.

Sam and Kevin were super nervous at the beginning and as the day went by they were super excited and down for any new ideas I’ve been waiting to try out. We explored Washington Park and ended up at the Plaza of which we made some pretty steller shots that i’ve only been picturing in my head. They were game for something new and fresh. The day was nice and warm and their smiles were out all day. I made kevin do the “High school Jock” pose just for fun but something tells me that he’s done this particular stance before seeing how he looks so natural going into it, Sam’s facial reaction pretty much sums it up ;-)

I can’t wait to share with you their wedding in May which is JUST around the corner, can you believe it? It’ll be here in no time!

Fun loving couple who are beautiful and silly and just love life? These two. They are a super chill couple who love a good adventure, but they also love being low key and easy going. We were being silly and overly dramatic and just having FUN all day on the property of the Sagamore Hotel and the day could not be any more GORGEOUS. They are having their wedding at The Barn at Lord Howe Valley and I could not be any more excited! We wouldn’t be super close to the water of Lake George, so why not an engagement session near the water to compliment this prospect?

Oh yea, We also practiced turns and twirls because her dress was SUPER FAB. It needed to happen. I was obsessed.

At first this pup stole the show so I just had to get a couple of photos of this little one because WHO KNOWS when i’ll get to see this sweet heart again! I digress… :-)

Kristin and TJ were up for attempting this day’s engagement session because let me tell you, TJ is as tough as they come. He had sustained an injury to his foot and honestly, I convinced them to do the engagement session as long as they were able to move to spots. With our limited ability to be super mobile, TJ Powered through the session with a great spirit. Apparently, he was telling jokes because Kristin could not stop laughing with her beautiful smile. They are both adventurous and super fun people who are considerate of others and they LOVE being on the slope. Honestly, I can’t wait until we’re on the slopes for their wedding! Stay tuned for their 2019 Wedding!

I first got contacted by Mathieu on Wedding Wire looking for a wedding photographer to travel to Spillian, little did he know that I’d be more than willing to travel to Montreal as well! I love this city with its rustic charm and its modern sensibilities. Funny enough, Abi and Mathieu met in Japan, and at this time Mathieu lived in Montreal and Abi lived in New Jersey and their fate was just meant to be! 可愛い (Kawaii) is only breaking the surface of how I should describe him, but most important thing of all, we had so much fun together, and things were so easy for them. I love that they were willing to be silly, to be sultry and especially allowing me to enjoy this Beautiful City of Montreal!

When I think about happiness and love and what couple’s are like when they are at their best together, I think about couple’s like Karissa and John. They laugh together, and I mean they laugh A LOT, they worry about the important things together, having fun, spending time, being happy and loving life. I am so lucky to find people like these two because they make sessions fun, because they keep things REAL with REAL happiness. We had SO much fun that day playing around in the beautiful urban setting and setting sun, and they hardly even noticed all the people just walking right through.

Brooklyn Bridge is ALWAYS packed with people, especially during sunset time and its hardly a wonder why some couples feel unsure about getting photos in these locations because there are so many families there enjoying their day at the park. However, we were in our own little world, and I love that about the city sometimes - we could be entrenched in the middle of a bunch of people, and because everyone is different, nothing is surprising. They felt comfortable just being in love.

Katie and Pierre love being silly with each other, even if the camera makes them both super nervous. But in the way they snuggle and whisper and hold each other close, there is without a doubt something that just resinates between them. I don't know if I have the right words for this light fluffy heart feeling that comes with love and care for another person but thats how I would describe it. They love TV shows and they love going out on the town for some adventure, they work hard and they play hard, so the time they spend together is easy going, and low key.

David and Joe are two silly people. Everything about them reminds me that life is way to short to be so serious. They just constantly were laughing and having fun and enjoying themselves and thats exactly what I wanted them to do - to just exist with each other in their space. There was just so much laughing there wasn't enough time to think about negativity and insecurities, only time to think about having fun, being in love, and laughing all the way home. It was a perfect day filled with perfectly real people.

Darcy and Jonathan are geeks, and I love everything about  it. They love to play table top games together, D&D and Character Creations, fantastical lore, etc. They also have their unique sensibilities - Darcy being assertive, thoughtful, and confident and Jonathan being intelligent, kind and laid back. There is nothing these two couldn't endure and withstand and nothing they couldn't do when they are together. They are unstoppable.

Katie and Ryan are very sweet, they are down to earth and they are so chill. They're both super beauties and I don't think they know it (But sometimes though Katie definitely shows that she KNOWS she's beautiful - aint that right? Cause you are, Flaunt it girl.) They are definitely well prepared and easy going people who just love being together. They love their life, they love their dog, and they love each other. I can't say how much more full they are with love from all over, and its pretty cliche but they got their stuff together, and this wedding is going to be gorgeous! I can't wait for their day (even though I say that for everyone, its true!) They let me be creative and be inspired and I can't wait to give them something inspiring for their day in 2019 :-)

This couple are college sweethearts who have already started their family together with their energetic and super adorable pup named Kona! You could tell they love spending time together, there isn't a doubt in mind when you take a look at these two. Always laughing, always smiling, never taking things too seriously and always trying to solve things together, like how to properly do a spin! They were done for any adventure I asked of them and sure enough, we made some beautiful images for their engagement. Check them out for yourself!

These two have so much fun. The energy these both share and exchange with each other tells me that they are never short of always laughing. Yes they are romantic, yes they are like any normal couple, but man do they make every moment more fun than the next. I would usually say between all the laughter there are a lot of quiet moments, but really though... between all the soft kisses and the warm embraces and the sitting in silence together, are the belly laughs and the silly faces and the constant back and forth of trying to out comedy the other. I couldn't stop laughing, I want you all to not stop laughing either. My heart is so full.

Rachael and Craig are a one of a kind couple and they LOVE to laugh and it definitely shines through. Besides being gorgeous, they are super silly and love to just have fun. We walked around Yaddo on a day where no one else was around, lucky us, because we could make this session MAGICAL. I think their shenanigans and their beauty will just speak for itself.

These two say they HATE photos of them, but as soon as we met I knew that I HAD TO GET PHOTOS OF THEM. Can you blame me? They're SO HAPPY and Incredibly Gorgeous but also, Genuine - Key to everything. I mean they say they were shy but I don't believe them ;-) We had some fun at the Brooklyn Bridge Park and even though there were a ton of people around, they melted into each other and forgot about everyone else. Even when derp moments occur, apparently this WOULD happen to them hahaha. I can't wait to have fun at this wedding!

Tamara and Luisa are such a fun couple. They love to be silly, they love spending time with each other, and they LOVE to LAUGH. Our engagement session was filled with so much laughing, and loving and cuddling. There was even a bit of adventurousness, and some derpy climbing with attempts to not slip into the thawing river, but maybe I'll let them explain that one ;-). On to the cute photos!
