I decided to post a series a of images from just one part of Neha and Ranjit’s engagement session (more to follow later) because I liked all the different poses and it was the funniest part of the day. We decided to pop into a kids playground near Ranjit’s apartment despite the warning on the outside gate that no adults unaccompanied by children were allowed (yes, you have to think about that phrase for a bit). Sometimes you have to live dangerously. Well, we weren’t accosted by any police, but we did find ourselves dealing with a somewhat belligerent bubble seller Neha bargained with for a bottle of bubbles. Then we needed instructions, then the bottle was defective, so was the second, etc. All the time the woman was muttering that we weren’t doing it right, that she couldn’t keep exchanging the bottles and on and on. You wouldn’t think making bubbles was so hard, but it certainly made us laugh! And sometimes that’s all you need, a little light hearted silly event, to make a couple relax, be themselves, and forget about the woman with the camera.

Neha & Ranjit – NYC Engagement Portraits
Friday, April 27th, 2012Daniele & Scott – Central Park Wedding
Thursday, April 19th, 2012I met Scott and Daniele just one week before their wedding at the Ladies’ Pavilion in Central Park, funnily enough, standing outside NY Magazine’s Weddings Event. They wandered by and asked what the event was inside. As it turned out they were getting married very soon. So a short conversation on the sidewalk and a somewhat longer one by phone led to me photographing their wedding in a very lovely spot in the park. If they really love their photos maybe I’ll be lucky enough to get an invite to the much bigger wedding they are planning in Brazil. In the meantime, I’m definitely going to take them up on their lunch invitation.
Family Portraits – Brooklyn, New York
Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012I’m so glad that we were able to sneak in this family portrait session with Rebecca, David and little Adelaide before they left Brooklyn for Oslo. They were super nice to invite me to their going away bash at a wonderful little place, Iris Cafe (a new discovery for me), in Brooklyn Heights where I caught up with many of their friends I met at their wedding. I also had the pleasure of tasting David’s homemade wine from the Pacific Northwest. I told them I’d be more than willing to take up their invitation to Oslo especially if they can wangle me some wedding gigs.
Rebecca and David’s wedding celebration at Blue Hill at Stone Barns was posted on my blog last July.
