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. Texans seem to love me because I worked with another couple that flew up […]
Following the completion of construction at 368 Third Avenue, I was invited to Vu New York to photograph the property, amenities and view. Coming back to this neighborhood was a literal walk down memory lane since it’s a few blocks away from where I went to college. The transformation of the area is absolutely astonishing, […]
Out of all the proposals I’ve photographed so far, this West Village rooftop engagement has got to be the most epic view so far! Is there anything better than a New York City sunset with the skyline? The biggest bonus was that both Jordan Zauderer and his (now) fiance, Casey was super photogenic! It’s amazing […]
Over the years, you might have seen on social media epic pictures of the sun in the center between New York City buildings. This phenomenon is called Manhattanhenge, and it’s when the setting sun can be seen aligning precisely between the buildings of the grid, creating a radiant glow. As a New York City photographer, […]
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. […]
Brooklyn has some of the best views of the NYC skyline to take pictures from. It has its own culture and character, with so many activities and options depending on your priority. Just like “the city” is not just Manhattan, Brooklyn is not just DUMBO or Williamsburg. As the second-largest borough, there’s so much to […]
I had a full-circle moment photographing a surprise proposal at the Palma restaurant NYC! Back in the summer, I photographed one of my first engagement parties at this popular West Village restaurant. The difference between then and now was that I had gained some more experience under my belt, and the proposal was at night […]
I went out to photograph street style during my first-ever New York Fashion Week! It’s funny, going to school and being in the city for over ten years now, I was always aware of NYFW since NYC is a fashion capital but never thought twice about it. I have passed by the venues without a […]
Both the Bethesda Terrace and Fountain are some of the most iconic locations in Central Park to do a photoshoot. It’s one of the first spots in New York City I recommend because it’s recognizable. My amazing client and her husband flew in from Dallas, Texas because they wanted to celebrate their one-year wedding anniversary. […]
Central Park, one of the world’s most renowned parks, stands as a remarkable urban oasis in the heart of Manhattan. As the first public park in the United States, it has nearly 50 fountains, monuments, sculptures, and 36 bridges, making it a prime destination for Central Park photo spots. Its abundant recreational facilities cater to […]
