Oceanbleu Wedding : Christine & Kit : Westhampton Beach, NY
A late summer wedding on the beach is always a delight and this wedding at Oceanbleu in The Hamptons was no exception. Getting at ready at home with her bridesmaids, Christine put on the final touches with the crisp sunshine letting everyone know this was going to be a great day. Soon we were off to the beach for a first look with Kit before their ceremony on the sand. I love the relaxed mood of weddings on the oceanfront as it feels like a great big party that happens to be a wedding.

East Hampton Engagement : Nichole & John : East Hampton, NY
As nice as it is to be able to use New York City as a resource for engagement session locations, I look forward to the opportunity to explore new settings. Nichole & John have family connections on the East End of Long Island so we met up on a blustery Fall day in the Hamptons with the beach all to ourselves.
Barclay New York InterContinental Wedding : Sarah & Chris : New York, NY
Sarah & Chris' wedding at the Barclay New York InterContinental was everything you could dream of in a elegantly appointed midtown masterpiece of a property. I have absolutely never witnessed a bridal suite like this one with its massive living space and balcony. Truly the ideal place to get ready for the wedding day.
After an intimate first look on the balcony, we walked outside to Park Avenue for a few photos before it was time to stand under the chuppah. Fleurs NYC designed the florals which 'married' just perfectly with the built in decor of the hotel. And of course, the show-stopping cake by Ron Ben Israel was positively covered in hand made sugar flowers. Absolutely amazing.
Washington Square Park Engagement : Dara & Jared : New York, NY
Washington Square Park in the Spring is a gorgeous place for a NYC engagement session especially with the crisp afternoon light streaming through! Within a couple blocks of the park are several interesting spots which make it a really versatile setting. If you're looking for an alternative to Central Park that has just a touch of natural elements mixed with more of the city feel, Washington Square Park is an excellent option.
Brooklyn Bridge Park Engagement : Kate & Ryan : Brooklyn, NY
The ingredients for a gorgeous engagement session in Brooklyn or anywhere are always great light and stunning location. Brooklyn Bridge Park has become so popular and crowded these days but if you go on a weekday on the outer edges of the season (mid October in this case) you can have a relaxing session. It really is worth it if you want those sweeping views because there is little else like it. On the New Jersey side you can get an amazing view as well but the sun sets in front of you rather than behind. No better or worse just a different look and feel.
