How much do I love this one year anniversary session?  Let me count the ways!!!  I had the pleasure of photographing Alyssa and Michael’s GORGEOUS Charlotte, NC wedding in 2012 before capturing their Central Park anniversary session in 2013.  This sweet couple moved from Los Angeles to NYC last summer and were excited to create some beautiful images in their new home.

We spent the perfect October day strolling around the Upper West Side before making our way to some of the couple’s favorite locations in Central Park.  Along with sharing a red velvet cupcake (with a single candle atop to celebrate their first year of marriage), Alyssa and Michael decided to include their ADORABLE puppy Short Stack for a few family photos.   Check out some of my favorite images from our time together below! 🙂

Alyssa has the most impeccable attention to detail.  Short Stack’s adorable bow tie perfectly matched her and Michael’s attire!

NYC is so creatively inspiring!  There is nothing I love more than creating new and unique images in places I have photographed before.  This one of Short Stack practically pulling Alyssa and Michael into Central Park is one of my favorites!

Seriously…could you guys be any cuter together?!

Stop it Alyssa…you are SO GORGEOUS!

Alyssa and Michael are actually one of the couples that participated in my new “When Harry Met Sally” style promo video.  You can see them in action here!

At the end of the session, Alyssa and Michael lit a single candle on top of a red velvet cupcake to celebrate their one year anniversary!

Thank you Alyssa and Michael for getting in front of my camera again!  I had so much fun photographing your Central Park one year anniversary session, and now that you live in New York, I hope to see you guys again very soon!
