Last summer, on the hottest, most humid day of the year, Colette and Ryan asked their friends and family to dress in their best colorful outfit and meet them in Brooklyn for their wedding at the boathouse in Prospect Park.
It was such a fun day that I don’t think anyone noticed the brutal weather. Colette and Ryan radiated joy and everyone was just so happy to celebrate with them!
The day had a lot of DIY elements: the flowers and the cake were made by some of Colette’s best friends, and another friend officiated the ceremony. It was a very artistic, intentional celebration and it was a treat being there to witness it. Congrats Colette and Ryan!
The day was cold and rainy, but nothing could gave taken the fun out of this one! Dana and Kai’s Spring wedding at Milk and Roses in Brooklyn was a highlight of my year.
Kai was like a little kid all day, giddy and excited to marry the love of his life. They had invited 50 people to witness their union, which made for a very intimate and intentional celebration. There were a lot of tears during the ceremony, a lot of champagne during dinner, and lots and lots of dancing under the stars afterwards. The rain cleared on time for a little night time photo session outside, which allowed me to play with direct flash.
Milk and Roses was the perfect setting for this love party. It is very intimate and full of adorable details, and their indoor option is a great one in case it rains. It is right in the heart of Greenpoint, which allows couples to take pictures on the waterfront if they wish, with the skyline in the background (you can learn more about the venue over here!)
A couple of months ago, I had the immense pleasure to meet baby Charlie, his parents Megan and Brian, as well as Shamus, the OG baby of the family for a newborn photo session at their home, in Brooklyn.
Baby Charlie graced us with a few beautiful smiles as well as a few tears (babies, am I right?) but overall, the shoot went very smoothly.
As a wedding photographer, I am often contacted by former couples to take photos of their pregnancies, babies, and even toddlers and I have to say that I LOVE it! It is always such a treat for me to meet my couples’ growing families and to shoot in a quiet environment where I can take my time, let the baby guide us through the session, and enjoy every minute without running everywhere.
So I am putting this out there: I am totally down for more baby sessions, so send them my way!
