Hudson River Park Proposal

Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing Yon-Ka Paris’ press event about their new product launch at the Moxy East Village Hotel in New York City. Working with beauty brands is one of my favorite partnerships as a photographer and content creator because no detail is spared, and they always give away freebies! The event […]

A Central Park proposal in the summer is the epitome of romance in New York City! I had the pleasure of photographing Neil Cato and his (now) fiance, Emily Hamilton when they visited NYC from Texas over the July 4th weekend.

Central Park Proposal In The Summer

The grandest gesture of love with these two! Their surprise proposal was captured during sunset in front of the famous Jane’s Carousel in Brooklyn with the epic Lower Manhattan skyline in the background. Prior to D-day, I and the (future) groom did a walkthrough of the location a few days before during a torrential downpour. […]

I had a full-circle moment photographing a surprise proposal at the Palma restaurant NYC!

You can’t tell by looking at these pictures, but this was my first real test of using a hot-shoe flash in a non-static environment! I was photographing a friend’s engagement dinner at Rule of Thirds in Brooklyn, and since it’s a restaurant, we were indoors with no windows. I can’t speak for all photographers, but […]
