Floral Friday

One of my favorite parts of planning my wedding was the florals, I just love flowers!!!  My dream wedding would have been in a botanical garden in a rose garden with lanterns hanging from trees like twinkling fairies.  A secret garden. We did our best to create a similar atmosphere at my parent’s lake house with lanterns and roses.

Well, my love for flowers didn’t die with my wedding bouquet, I still love to be surrounded by them.  In fact I almost considered being a florist as a career change before I realized that I have trouble keeping even a fern alive.  So when Alex isn’t looking, I steal our grocery money and buy flowers along with our usual milk and seaweed snacks at Trader Joe’s!  This week I picked three different kinds of flowers and got them all for under $12.99!  Score.

I’ve been focusing a lot on design lately since we are decorating our new place, and any good interior designer will tell you that fresh flowers are the finishing touch.  In fact, I challenge you to find a photograph in a home magazine of any room without some sort of botany.  I’m so eager to show you pictures of my new place, but it’s just not quite ready!   So this will serve as a little sneak peek!  I just love how playful pink ranunculus in a mason jar can lighten up a kitchen island or open shelving…

Sunflowers belong on a window sill basking in the sun, and even this bouquet of a filler flower brightens up this little entryway table.

Which reminds me:  Bridey brides who haven’t had to throw away their dried up bouquet yet, here are some awesome florists I recommend in the area!

Splendid Stems (Hudson Valley) and L’Oasis (NYC)

Have a beautiful weekend!!

Shannon and Anna take NYC | New York Engagement Photographer

This lovely couple came all the way from Australia just to have me photograph them.  Okay that’s not entirely true.  They MAY have come for the shopping, sight-seeing, food, comic-con and their friends that live in the area… but in front of my camera such magic happened,  they convinced me they had come just for me – their love was meant to be captured.    Plus they brought me a stuffed Koala, how cute is that!!???  Shannon, outgoing and friendly, and Anna quiet and deep met at work and have actually been married for over a year and wanted to celebrate their anniversary with a trip to the states and an anniversary photo session!

Spring hasn’t quite sprung yet here in NYC:  for some reason flowers are blooming, but trees don’t even have buds yet!  So we followed the light, which never disappoints in creating magical photos, and on this first warm day of the season we were able to find some glowing magical corners of central park that gave the impression of spring.  We then made our way down to the meatpacking district for a bit more of a city vibe.

Shannon and Anna- it was such a pleasure meeting you and spending the afternoon with you.  I hope you have an awesome rest of your trip around the states, an amazing life together and that our paths cross again in the not-so-distant future!

James and Jill | New York Engagement Photographer

The moment I met Jill at ABC Kitchen and we both ordered a Cabernet Sauvingon, I knew we were kindred spirits.  Indeed the more she told me about her relationship with James,  her passion for helping incarcerated teens get rehabilitated, and her vision for a wedding with a secret garden vibe (the exact words I told my wedding planner about 2 years ago), I was convinced.  I had the pleasure of later meeting James and their adorable dog Zoe.   Jill is a passionate woman who just recently gave up a great job to go after her passion of making a difference, and  James is an easy-going financial lawyer who never gets sick, like ever.  (I’m just fascinated by this).

It was nearly freezing on this April day, which we were hoping would have brought us some more springish weather, and all of us had numb hands by the end.  However, you can’t tell because their love and laughter just warms up every image.  We started at a little nook on the east river right by their old apartment.   We then zoomed down in a cab to their Chelsea apartment and captured a little bit of a lifestyle session vibe, which basically means we tried to encapsulate an average day in the life.  We ended the session with a gorgeous sunset at The Highline park.  Enjoy every moment of their NYC love story here.

I’m just loving black and white’s right now…

James just loved the idea of taking some shots telling the wedding planning story.  I’m sure many grooms can relate…

Had to share this one, she is just too precious!!!

Shoebox Memories | Always Going to Be A Photographer

Sometimes in the present I look at my life and can’t believe I’m living it.  I get to make a living with my art?  I am a PHOTOGRAPHER?  *Cringes at how cheesy it sounds…*  But it’s true: sometimes I just want to just stop and think, how did I get here?  Everyone expected me to grow up and do something nerdy and practical, though I hoped it would be also artistic and exciting (I not-so-secretly wanted to be a musical theater actress).  But when I really think back, I see all these hints that God was leading me here to this career that I love all along.

Alex and I were doing some major spring cleaning the past few weeks (more on that to come) and I came across a shoebox of memories that had all these photos in it.  Photos I took almost ten years ago on my family’s trip to Europe.  I knew nothing about shooting in manual, RAW probably didn’t exist yet, and my little point and shoot was about the size of my hand, but you can already see my love for light, nature,  unique perspectives and leading lines.  Even though I knew zero about those things.  I remember thinking on that trip how cool it would be to be a photographer one day, traveling the world.  And I remembered especially taking this picture of my youngest sister, Cameryn, and thinking how much I loved photographing people more than anything.  Little did I know God was taking notes!  I was always going to be a photographer.  Even when I picked my major of human rights instead of Film/Video (which I strongly considered) at NYU, even when I was suffocating in desk job after desk job,  even when I was crying out to God to show me my calling.  He knew it was coming, He was preparing me all along through every hard experience, and I was always going to be a photographer.
