Central Park NYC Spring Engagement session Melissa + Jonathan

Mariana !!! I hear my name being called in a sea of people in the middle of central park. It was Melissa and Jonathan and we were meeting in person for the first time. They both look amazing, right away I could tell how comfortable they were with each other in front of the camera, that doesn't happen often, some couples need more time to warm up. One the best things about Jonathan is his humor...no one can make Melissa laugh so quickly...and I loved it !

I also got to meet some of Melissa's family, they were kind enough to tag along to help with the wardrobe and holding the puppy. I'm very excited for the big day, I will try to practice my salsa moves for the party !!!

Enjoy some of their engagement session photos in Central Park NYC

There engagement session could not be complete without some photos with their puppy...check out the bow tie

Piggy back joy – beautiful light, beautiful smiles :)

One of my favorite spots in central park for photos is around Bethesda fountain it is so beautiful, no wonder why is world famous.

This is all Jonathan working his magic making Melissa laugh ;)

Patriot Hills Stony Point New York Spring Wedding Amy + Christophe

Amy and Christophe

It was the perfect spring sunny day, friends and family flew from all over the country and the world arriving on the Hudson Valley, New York a place that Amy’s family calls home. The sounds of laughter and joyous conversations fill out through Amy’s family home in Pearl River as Amy prepared for her wedding day. Meanwhile at Crown Plaza Hotel Christophe was having a great time with all the grooms mans getting ready for the big moment and received a wonderful surprise gift from his wife to be.

When Amy and Christophe saw each other for the first time on their wedding day, their smiles and emotions were high. Together they received blessings during a beautiful mass at Saint Anthony's Church and later walked down the aisle as husband and wife. Surrounded by bubbles as they exit the church they hugged family and friends. Their day was full of love for each other and all their loved ones who were there to celebrate at Patriot Hills.

Amy and Christophe, I appreciate the honor of documenting your wedding and it was a blast being with your family and friends. The love, the joy, and the FUN was what made your day a something truly special.

Amy was getting ready at her mom's beautiful house which use to be Amy's father's pediatric practice. The house was nothing less then spectacular a classic New York Historic House and provided the most stunning light for wedding preparations...
