“He is perfect for you, I promise!”  Jessika’s friend was shamelessly trying to convince her to agree to a blind date with Vincent, knowing they would hit it off.  “His name is Vinny and he has spiky hair”, Jessika shot back.  “I just don’t think we will be a great fit.”  It wasn’t until a few months later that Jessika realized just how wrong she had been.

On a night out with mutual friends, Jessika and Vincent finally met.  Surprised and excited by how much they had in common, Jessika agreed to one date, and then another!  Pretty soon the two were inseparable.  One beautiful day, Jessika walked into her NYC apartment to find it filled with candles, sunflowers, and a chilled bottle of champagne.  When Vincent got down on one knee to propose, she agreed with her whole heart as a huge smile spread across her face.  This sweet couple is tying the knot at the Boathouse in Central Park next weekend and I couldn’t be happier for them.

A couple of months ago I had the honor of capturing Jessika and Vincent’s sweet sunrise Long Island City engagement photos.  Check out a few of my favorites below!

Since sunflowers were such an important part of Jessika and Vincent’s proposal, we had to include one in their engagement session!

LOVE.

After exploring their new neighborhood in Long Island City, we headed to Cranky’s Cafe for a little breakfast!

Thank you again Jessika and Vincent for allowing me to spend a fun morning with you!  I can’t wait to see you at your beautiful wedding next weekend. 🙂
