nureida & david


when i meet with couples, i like to ask the how they met. it used to be to get ideas for myself, hah, but now that i'm married, i still enjoy the different stories of how people find one another. nureida and david are the first couple that i've shot that met at the mall. i love it. he was working as a security guard and she was working as a salesperson... david even took her back there to propose. so sweet. 

nureida and david suggested the ramapo reserve for their engagement session. even though it was the very end of fall, the preserve had some great spots with lots of color left... so i decided to post this entire blog in color!



love nureida and david's coordinating fall colors....

i was too far away to know what was really going on here, but i liked this moment because it looks like he just proposed to her...

even in the areas where the leaves were sparse, there was an opportunity for a beautiful shot....




at one point during the shoot there was a boulder that was in my way. i had a hunch that david, being a personal trainer, would be able to move it with little effort. he lifted it like it was nothing and moved it for me, awesome. 





love the orange!



love the boots and the blue suede shoes....

while we were heading out and the light was just about gone, i thought it was worth a shot to take advantage of the calm waters and the reflecting colors...

a great time with nureida and david at the ramapo reserve....looking forward to their wedding this fall!

cara & mike


four years ago, almost to the day, i was shooting one of mike's friend's engagement sessions in my backyard... it was fun to revisit a fall engagement session in the same setting with another awesome couple. i'm looking forward to their perona farms wedding this winter!





i've had a few couples this year that wanted to shoot out my way or in my backyard... it's just so beautiful!

love the coordinating red flannel and a path full of leaves...

love when the leaves happen to fall from the tree just perfectly, hah!




i've had the pleasure of enjoying many walks during the beautiful golden hour through these fields... love being able to put a beautiful couple right in the midst of it...








such a nice afternoon with cara and mike. looking forward to working with them in a couple months on their big day!

diana & phil


i met up with diana and phil one afternoon in sayen gardens. while our original date to shoot had too much of a threat of rain... when i showed up to the gardens, i was a little worried about a possible rainout, but the rain held out and the sun even peeked out for just a couple of minutes for us... 





love this...











the moment when the sun peeked out for just a couple of minutes...


looking forward to working with diana and phil next spring at the park savoy...
