“London is satisfied, Paris is resigned, but New York is always hopeful. Always it believes that something good is about to come off, and it must hurry to meet it.”~ Dorothy Parker

Megan and Ari met nearly 10 years ago, fell in love, and are excited to become husband and wife! This engagement shoot had a vouge, black and white aesthetic that caught movement with the streets and cars of downtown NYC. Darling photos were taken in the diner reminiscent of the couple’s favorite past time - restaurant hopping! Megan’s beautiful tie-back romper looked so elegant paired with Ari’s open collar black and white suit, creating the image of a fun couple out on the town.

Flash photography dazzled around Lauren and Anthony as they celebrated their engagement at the very place they met years ago. With a chic and classic feel to the engagement shoot, Hotel Bar made for a sexy and bold venue. As the Tampa Bay Times has said it is a “scene that seems pulled directly out of the downstairs bar of a swank hotel.” After, downtown Tampa created a cosmopolitan feel for this stylish couple in black and white. Then changing to neutral tones, the sun and water at the marina glowed with them and created stunning naturalistic photos of warmth and love.

I was PUMPED when Kallan sent me an email to work together while in their trip to Florida. Then, a few days later, they decided to book me for their trip in NYC, NY. We ended up planning and booking flights within 2 weeks. It was a really cool experience. I flew into Newark, NJ and then ubered over to Soho, NY for some vibey pics. We shot on 4 rolls of film and the results are outstanding. Take a look for yourself!!

Ok, so if you are a fan of my work and have been following me a while… you may recognize these two! Kayla and Tanner are onto their SECOND engagement session. Kayla decided to go in for a round two, for her birthday gift... plus she had all these cool clothing and accessories to use. Kayla really has it in her to bring on the boujee trends. She has a true respect for beautiful photography + high end clothing and accessories she finds on pinterest.

Vouge, editorial, sexy, timeless, and Old Hollywood all describe this engagement session for Brianna and Jason. The session included tall downtown shots of the couple in a rainy street, creating a real Hollywood movie feel. Brianna held white baby’s breath and roses in her bouquet which complimented the feathered trim of her slim and silky white dress. Jason looked like a classic movie star in his black and white suit and sunglasses. Intimate photos were taken inside Casa Monica where you can really feel the mood of the shoot and the passionate love they have for each other.

Authentic, modern, and minimalistic were inspiring words to Dallas and Cory when planning their wedding. Bringing their friends and family to the top of Bluff Mountain for their vows and celebration was breathtaking and natural. The Trillium Venue created wispy and intimate moments for the couple as they looked over panoramic views of the Great Smokey Mountains. Dallas’ beaded bodice of her gown trailed down into the gentle flow of her skirt and Cory matched the calm scenery with his cream tie and flower pin. After the ceremony the atmosphere became more playful as they changed into matching white sneakers and met their guests under the stars and bistro lights of the balcony.
