Cassandra & Benjamin  Wedding Portraits in Central Park, New York City

How about a last little dose of fall prettiness before we head into the holiday season? We love, love, LOVE it when we have a chance to do some day after wedding portraits! It’s such a great opportunity to wear your dress again and get some photos in areas outside your wedding venue without the stress & pressure of a wedding day timeline. We met Cassandra & Benjamin at the Bethesda Fountain in Central Park on a gorgeous fall day – these two make our job so easy!

Have a happy and safe holiday season, everyone! xo, A&L

Allison & Gregg  Engagement session in New York City

Allison & Gregg are getting married in Allison’s hometown of San Diego, but New York City is where they met & where they live, so it made sense to do their engagement session in the city that is their home together. And, Lindsey & I were more than thrilled at the opportunity! (Of course, we had to make a weekend of it with the food and the shopping and the food…but that’s another story!) It was great to finally meet Allison & Gregg in person and we had a blast just walking around their neighborhood and strolling through Central Park. We ended up catching the sunset from the roof of Allison & Gregg’s apartment where the view is AH-mazing! What a fabulous day!

Here are some of our favorite images:

 

The weather was insanely gorgeous & most of the snow from the huge storm the week before had melted. But, we found this one little patch left so of course we had to play a little!

And, what did we tell you about the view from the roof? Allison & Gregg are two lucky ducks!

Allison & Gregg, thank you so much for showing us around your city! We look forward to seeing you again in sunny SoCal next time!

 
Lindsey & Brian  Engagement Session on Balboa Island, Newport, CA

After getting rained out the day before, we ended up with a gorgeous afternoon on Balboa Island with Lindsey & Brian for their engagement session. These two are super sweet & playful, so we had a blast with the rides and arcade before heading to the beach for some lovely, glowy sun. Here are some of our favorites:

 

Lindsey & Brian, thanks for such a fun afternoon! We’re looking forward to May!
