Washington Park | Albany Firehouse #1 | Albany NY | Norah and Nick Engagement | Jay Zhang Photography
So when we FIRST met, Nick was a bit reserved and I knew that we might have some warming up for the session, but MAN was he completely different come Engagement day! Nick was ready to have some fun and be COMPLETELY INVOLVED in this process and man did he make Norah laugh so hard. The entire time he was energetic and happy and was doing EVERYTHING in his power, to make Norah happy. This man is the real MVP. Norah, this sweet girl with her bright blues and warm smile and infectious laugh is always thinking and planning for other people, and all Nick wanted to do, was do something for HER. This pretty much summed up how I began to fall in love with these two Love Bugs!
Washington Park Albany NY | John and Sarah Engagement | Jay Zhang Photography
John is silly, quirky, and hilarious; Sarah is witty and observant and kind. These two were flirting and making faces with each other all day, its also a good thing we were able to make some non-goofy faced john photos because he LOVES to be goofy and make Sarah laugh. Sarah’s laugh sure brightens up the atmosphere, which is why John loves to make goofy faces when Sarah is around. In-between these goofy moments though, you have these soft quiet moments that almost seem surreal when time slows down, and the wind softly caresses their cheeks as I tell them to just take one big deep breath.
City Beer Hall + Albany Empire Plaza | Anthony and Andrew Engagement | Jay Zhang Photography
Anthony and Andrew first Met at City Beer Hall so it only made sense that we start their day HERE at City beer hall. Caring, the ability to care, to nurture, to uphold and to help flourish are evident in the smallest of acts - wiping away dirt, caressing the cheeks, holding hands, sharing inside jokes, holding each other up over fears of height. All these things they did this day and it made me so excited for their day. Even though as I’m sitting here making this small blog of their engagement, I know that through all of the hard times faced by the whole world over the crazy health pandemic - They will hold each other up. That’s what makes relationships last.
Jennings Landing Engagement | Jen and Kim | Jay Zhang Photography
We’re starting off this week’s Pride Celebration with a couple who’s created a beautiful life together already and they only want to continue this adventure together. Kim is a bit shy, very intellegent, and so compassionate you just want to give her hugs all day and Jen is an outspoken, heart on her sleeves and self sacrificing kind of person who would do anything for the people she loves.
Colleen and Bills Albany NY Engagement
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.
Washington Park Albany| Kevin and Katherine Engagement
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
