nyc engagement
Man, we love looking back at pictures and re-seeing them through new edits. We love the color of city lights, but a beautiful black and white moment also lived in this photo all along. There are reasons we deliver every image to clients in both color *and* black and white.
It can strike a subtly (or sometimes starkly) different tone, make for a very different album or collage to put together, or just show you images you've seen for years in a new way.
This was such a fun engagement shoot, partially because of its simplicity. Generally, more of our love plays out in our daily home life than on windswept vistas or famous monuments, so we loved just playing around in the apartment and surrounding block. It adds several more layers of meaning, particularly when you put up the photos in that same home!
There are some big changes afoot. People who know me well will likely find this to be the least surprising surprise ever. But now that I’m marrying one of the best wedding photographers in New York, and when we’ve found that we work exceedingly well together, it only makes sense for us to just … do that. So we are becoming something more. We’re still becoming, still in the chrysalis, since we are awfully busy right now taking care of our existing clients. We’ve finished up the contracts and made it official, but Marketing? Long-term strategies? Still working on them. Of course, this makes it sort of a fire sale, since 2016 couples who manage to book us before we manage to change our Web site are also getting in before we change our prices, effectively getting an extra wedding photographer with a spotless decade-long record of amazing customer service and photojournalism for free.
We’re also changing up our engagement shoot approach as well, with a bit more time and, well, a bit more photographer — and here’s an example of how it can all come together, a shoot Tatiana and I recently did in Long Island City. Noelia and Amadeo have personalities and smiles far too big to be overshadowed be all this news. They are born stars, and we were happy to shine a light on their connection. We are even more excited for things to come, more excited than we’ve ever been.
