Jen + Ross’ Central Park engagement session

/in /by

Yes, it’s officially engagement season and I got to start my year off in the Big Apple. I had a great time trekking through Central Park with Jen and Ross–the site of their engagement at Bethesda Fountain. Ross surprised Jen with her “real” engagement ring…although I’m pretty sure the people watching thought they were watching a true proposal. We finished the shoot with the couple skipping through the park (!) and I particularly love the spontaneity of the wide kiss shot as people walked by on a slightly chilly Sunday afternoon. Can’t wait to see them skipping and dipping in downtown DC  at their wedding next month.

Just a random sampling of recent engagement shoots to start off the week! I was thrilled to finally photograph Ashley and Michael. We’ve tried to do this at least twice before and were plagued with lousy weather. It was worth waiting for! We wandered around the Mall and found some great locations and for at least part of the time had some fabulous light. I love the photos we got and can’t wait ’til their wedding in October in DC. I also had the pleasure of photographing Susie and Gabe in NYC in August in their upper West Side neighborhood and Central Park. I was ably assisted by my son Wyatt who proved to be a minor distraction and then ultimately no help at all once we made it to Bethesda Fountain and ran across some folks blowing gigantic bubbles. After that, he was done! I’ll have the pleasure of shooting Susie and Gabe’s wedding in Washington in December.  I recently got a chance to catch up with Uzma and Aman who’s wedding I shot last year. Rather than do an engagement shoot, we decided to do an after-the-wedding shoot in Reston several months after the big day. I’m happy to report they are doing well and are (obviously) very happy!
