Edda + Slava may come from different backgrounds (he is Russian, she is Peruvian) but they totally connect through their love for travel, adventure, their families, and their adorable Bichon Frises of course! After seven sweet years together, Slava proposed to Edda in Central Park on a beautiful December day. Central Park is forever Edda and Slava’s hearts, making it the perfect spot for their engagement photos!  We met on Bow Bridge at sunrise and captured beautiful portraits by Bethesda Fountain, the Mall, and in the pretty pink cherry blossoms!  Don’t you just love spring in New York?!  Enjoy a few of my favorite moments from our time together below.

There is just something about the Hamptons that makes my heart so happy!  The quiet beach days, quaint towns, and the beautiful scenery always leaves me feeling relaxed and rested.  This past fall I had the pleasure of photographing Fayon and Adam’s gorgeous Wolffer Estate engagement photos.  They brought along their adorable frenchie Texy for a fun afternoon of exploring the vineyard and frolicking on the beach at sunset!  Enjoy a few of my favorite moments from their Hamptons engagement session below.

It was a beautiful evening, much like the evening they got engaged!  The sun was setting over the Manhattan skyline, turning the sky a dusky pink and blue.  Amy and JD walked hand and hand along the water taking in the gorgeous views.  When they got to the 9/11 memorial in Weehawken, JD paused.  This was the exact spot he ask Amy to marry him!  JD’s father was a first responder firefighter during the attacks, and the location is special to both of them.  Amy reminisced, “The whole thing was very personal and great! We have been dating for 3.5 years so I knew it was coming but didn’t expect it then at all.”

Amy and JD are tying the knot at Hamilton Farms this November and I couldn’t be more excited for them!  As a couple, they are outgoing, kind, adventurous, and they truly just have so much fun together! I loved getting to spend the afternoon with them in one of their favorite places. Enjoy a few of my favorites from Amy and JD’s Weehawken engagement session below.
