Central Park + Flatiron District :: ...

June 28, 2010 | Engagements
 


Susan and David first met while attending NJIT.edu in New Jersey. They are both getting their PhDs. David in Biomedical Engineering and Susan in Computer Science. I can’t imagine myself going back to school but big ups to my couple. Susan and David traveled all the way from New Jersey to Flushing, New York for their hair and makeup trial with Jina Pak at JAC Beauty . David scheduled the engagement photo session once his paper was done with school. We first met up at the entrance on 72nd Street and Central Park East then. Then hit the famous Bethesda Terrace and Bow Bridge. We had an amazing time shooting inside the park and had a wardrobe change at Columbus Circle. We finished our session with New York’s landmark buildings in the background Flatiron building and the Empire State Building. Below is a fusion slideshow from Susan and David’s wedding engagement in Central Park and the Flatiron District.



P.S. Jina, you did a fabulous job!

Queens Botanical Garden :: Karina + ...

May 31, 2010 | Real Weddings
 

It was a normal morning for us going to the bride’s house. Tomtom (Karina’s doggie) made our day very interesting and unforgettable from the start. When we first arrived at the bride’s house, normal dogs would bark, guard the house and protect it’s turf. Nope!!! Tomtom bolted passed the front door, through the driveway gate, then down the block and made a turn on the corner. Once we lost sight of him and my heart started racing. I was like OMG, what a way to start a wedding. I already have bad images in my head. I ran down the block and luckily there was a lady on the corner with another dog and Tomtom was humping her leg =). I was so relieved, grabbed Tomtom and gave it back to Karina’s brother. The rest of the day was smooth sailing. Please enjoy some of the teasers from Saturday’s wedding.

Brooklyn Promenade + DUMBO :: Sara + ...

| Engagements
 

Sara and Tim’s engagement photos at DUMBO, Brooklyn: I was first introduced to Tim a few years ago when I needed some web design help by my lead designer Nellys. He was dating Sara at the time. Then I saw them again at Nellys’ wedding and they contacted me after seeing Nellys’ wedding photos….and the rest was history. We started the day by meeting at my office and headed out to Brooklyn. Sara and Tim are pros at this. We cruised about DUMBO area, checked out the new Brooklyn Bridge Park and finished off outside of Nobu in Tribeca. Check out some of the teasers from the session. I am so looking forward to their wedding in July.

Battery Park City :: Judy + Victor

May 4, 2010 | Engagements
 

I met up with Judy and Victor by Ulysses Folk House in downtown Manhattan. From there, we walked along the Battery City Park area.  I love shooting at Battery Park City.  My eyes open to different views and ideas every time I shoot here. Downtown Manhattan is definitely a must-shoot location.  We finished in Chinatown’s Peking Duck House, Judy’s parents are the proud owners!  I had to ask one of the staff members to hold my Xeon flashlight. Thanks, Ken!  You make an awesome assistant.  Please make sure you check out Peking Duck House when you’re in Chinatown next time.  Hopefully, I can get some of my readers the Chris Chen discount.  Please take a peek at these teasers below.
