The first stop for this New York City engagement photo session was Central Park, Bethesda Fountain, and Terrace.

The second stop was the SOHO and the Meatpacking District after a quick change in outfits.

Every person who lives in New York City knows that at any given moment, you could get deluged upon. I’ve lived here for over 5 years now and I guess I still haven’t learned my lesson. Neither has Marisa and Ashish who have been here even longer. Marisa got her hair and makeup done earlier in the day in preparation for our engagement photo shoot and got drenched within the first 10-15 minutes of our shoot at Washington Square Park. None of us had an umbrella so we, along with everyone else in the park, ran for cover underneath the Washington Arch as the freak storm passed overhead. It didn’t help as the rain not only came from above, it seemed to come sideways as well and therefore blasted everyone under the arch. Both Ashish and I tried to use our bodies to protect Marisa from the rain as much as possible but were unsuccessful. I eventually pulled out my reflector to use as a covering which actually provided quite a bit of protection. The storm lasted for about 20 minutes.

Marisa was such a great sport about what happened. She didn’t fret nor complain about getting wet and ruining her hair. If anything… I thought the wet chaotic hair made her look sexier. And I know Ashish would agree with this. So after the storm passed, something amazing actually happened. The sun came out and the entire park was completely empty allowing us to get some truly awesome shots at the fountain. That was definitely a rarity especially on a busy summer weekend.

After finishing up in the park, we decided to hit Grand Central as our second spot and then returned to finish our night session at the Bethesda Fountain in Central Park. Despite the downpour, I had such a great time with Marisa and Ashish! Our eventful session is one to remember. Can’t wait to see what your wedding day brings! Congrats and I’ll see you two in a few months.

Below is the montage and my favorite shots of the day. Enjoy!

Ryan contacted me about a month ago asking me to see if I was open to capturing the moment of him proposing to his girlfriend Heather. Of course! I always love getting my ninja on. So we planned on when and how it was going to happen. The plan was to come to the City, stroll around Central Park, propose on Bow Bridge and then get whisked away in a stretch limo that would have been waiting for them at the famous Plaza Hotel. Well, when the day finally approached, a little hurricane called “Irene” came to town and kind of nixed all of the plans. The entire city was practically locked down. Oh well! What can you do. Thankfully, we were able to reschedule but Ryan wasn’t able to hold the proposal. He proposed anyway before they made it to New York City. So what started as a marriage proposal turned into an engagement photo shoot. But Hey! I still had a blast! Congrats to Heather & Ryan! Looking forward to the wedding!

Enjoy!
