07.06.08 Adam + Lisa

The blog has been a little heavy on engagement shoots lately & I wanted to slip a wedding in here.

It was pretty fantastic.

Adam and Lisa were married at the Tribeca Rooftop in Manhattan. I love working in the City, especially in venues that are new to me.

Adam and Lisa are just a great couple & I completely enjoyed sharing their day with them.

At the end of the day we went out to shoot on the subway which, it turns out, isn't really allowed. Not sure why it's illegal to take photos on the subway but it is. We dodged a transit cop for a while but it ended up getting what we wanted.

first look

This morning I got my first look at Erin and David's wedding from Saturday & found this early on.

Can't wait to see the rest.

Matthew + Erika's Engagement

I know there are a bunch of recent engagement sessions already on the blog here but there is no way I'm going to skip Matthew and Erika's.

Last night we walked around Central Park for a couple of hours. It was a beautiful night in the City.

It was the first time I had met them and taking pictures is a great way to get to know a couple. Erika looked great and you would have never known that Matthew had been in a triathlon that morning. Quite a day for Matthew: swim, bike, run, photo. He finished well.

Thanks, both of you.

Joel + Amy's Engagement

Tuesday night last week I met up in Philadelphia with Joel and Amy for their engagement shoot.

I encourage couples to choose a place that means something to them & sometimes we end up in spots you wouldn't expect for an engagement shoot. Joel and Amy are big time sports fans, they love the Eagles and the Phillies, so the sports complex was the perfect place.

We worked that spot for a while and then went downtown near the Water Works and Boathouse Row.

I'll see you two in May!

Best,
Douglas

Jen + Sebastian's engagement session

I just got home from Jennifer & Sebastian's engagement shoot in Avalon, a shore town down at the bottom of New Jersey. I should be getting to bed before tomorrow's wedding (early start!) but I was too anxious to see the images.

They made my job way too easy. Jennifer has the most amazing smile and Sebastian knows how to keep one on her face nearly all the time.

So here are a few quick grabs - thanks you two. It was awesome.
