AMY + MICHAEL | GANTRY PARK WEDDING ANNIVERSARY | LIC WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Michael had a crush on Amy since they were in high school, but for Amy he was just an acquaintance. It was seven year later after graduating high school and college Michael got Amy's number from her mom and surprised her by asking her out on a date. One seafood dinner in Lexington, Kentucky and their relationship took a new turn. They have been in love ever since. 

Five years later Michael proposed to Amy with his precious grandmother's ring. They got married the following year. Today they Celebrate their 10th year Wedding Anniversary in New York City. 

JANELLE + CHANDA | CENTRAL PARK SECRET PROPOSAL | NEW YORK ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER

'Chanda', a South Carolina born Navy Officer and 'Janelle', a New York City born dancer met each other for the first time at Boom Burger in Fair Lawn, New Jersey. They both say, their relationship has been inseparable ever since. They have shared the most gorgeous and forever lasting love for last two years. And they look forward to spending rest of their lives together as they plan their destination wedding in Aruba next spring. 

When I met Chanda last month to check out the venue for the secret proposal and as we talked about their relationship, I was beyond speechless to see the passion she shared for her girl friend. And, It would be an understatement if I say Janelle adores her.

Last Saturday when Chanda got down on her knees with a beautiful diamond ring, Janelle couldn't hold back her tears as she said 'Yes' out loud. 

I wish them immense love and happiness in life. :)

ASHLEY + COLLIN | CENTRAL PARK SECRET PROPOSAL | NEW YORK ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER

When Ashley (a Florida born geologist) moved to Texas for work and came across Collin (a texan fire fighter), Collin immediately asked her out on a date and in no time was very much drawn by her addictive smile and big heart. 

Collin is such a romantic. When he contacted me 3 months ago to shoot his secret proposal in Central park, he had the most beautiful ideas. Last month, he flew from Texas with his father and brother to check out the perfect venue for the proposal. Every word he spoke about her made me realize how much he loves her and how ready he is to spend the rest of his life with her. 

With a diamond ring tucked in his pant's pocket, Collin couldn't resist the tears from rolling down his cheeks as he held Ashley's hand and got down on his knees. When Ashely immediately said yes, it meant the world to him. 

Its always an honor to document love. But, its even more memorable when you get to witness the moment when two lives decide to start a new life together. :) 

CRISTINA + JEROME | CENTRAL PARK BRIDAL | NEW YORK CITY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Due to time constraint on the wedding day, we decided to do Cristina and Jerome bridal session couple of days after their wedding day. I have to say that post wedding bridal sessions are way more relaxing and stress free both from clients and photographer's perspective.  I had so much fun walking around central park with these two gorgeous souls on a beautiful saturday morning. :)  

THE COLLINS | FAMILY PORTRAIT | NEW YORK FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

When Jennifer first contacted me to photograph her family in their beautiful home and their neighborhood park where her girls spend most of their time and weekends, I was game for it all. These two little ones are real sweetheart. They greeted me with a big smile the moment I walked in and welcomed me right into their lives. Our shoot was more like their way of life vs a posed session, which I enjoyed very much. 

Thank you for having me. :)
