Zuhayra's Valentine's Day themed 1st birthday was amazing! The mom went out of her ways to decorate the entire venue with tons of adorable little details. I don't normally blog about first birthdays, but couldn't stop myself from sharing this beauty.
DAMARIS + MILNES | GRAND CENTRAL ENGAGEMENT | NEW YORK CITY ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER
Damaris teaches English overseas in Madrid. Milnes works for an IT firm in Upstate New York. Despite the distance, these two were bound to meet and plan a future together. They belong to the same church and were introduced last year by a common friend. Over the last six months they have shared a beautiful journey while maintaining a long distance relationship via endless conversations, international phone calls and emails.
Grand Central holds a special place in their heart. This is where they shared their first kiss and spent many hours traveling back and forth from city to upstate to see each other. It was wonderful documenting their relationship at the place where it all began.
Damaris and Milnes: I had a blast working with you and I can't wait for your wedding this fall in Chappaqua, New York.

Sophomore year college at a halloween party is where they first met. She was dressed up like Taylor swift and he was in his PJs dressed up like a bum. This meeting was the beginning of their friendship and a relationship that has blossomed beautifully over the years.
It was emotional for them to talk about each other. Tears rolled down her cheeks as Taylor mentioned how beautiful and special he makes her feel. Jacob's face lit up as he talked about how taylor has managed to not just fill his life with utmost love and happiness, but has won the heart of everyone around him with her sweet and kind nature.
Last Thursday, Jacob and Taylor travelled from Texas to her favorite New York City. It was in the Bow bridge that Taylor cried the tears of happiness as Jacob got down in his knees proposing her to marry him.
Taylor and Jacob: I am so happy for you two. Thank you for sharing your beautiful afternoon with me.
GLENYS + VALERIO | CENTRAL PARK WEDDING | NEW YORK CITY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
The unforgettable September day in Rome, 2005, when Glenys and Valerio met at a friend's dinner party was the beginning of a beautiful affair of two hearts. Sometimes it takes moments of touching gratitude to realize how special someone can be; Glenys and Valerio's meeting sparked a chain of rendezvous that led to Valerio inviting Glenys to his beach house in the charmingly quaint Amalfi Coast. The waves crashed against the the rocks, the sun sparkled along side them, as they swayed and danced in each other arms; this was the beginning of the rest of their lives...
The gorgeous pair stood hand in hand at their romantic Central Park wedding. Their small and intimate ceremony was showered with blessings from near and dear ones, friends and relatives read poems, song lyrics and quotes, in admiration of their eternal love.
Glenys melodious vocals showered the wedding and surprised Valerio, she sang the closing song, Rather Be...they have travelled land and sea, but as long as they are together, there is no place their rather be...
