Denyse & Vladimir’s Engagement Photos – The Brooklyn Promenade
March 25, 2008 – 11:57 am
We recently had the pleasure of doing engagement photos for Denyse & Vladimir. Denyse & Vladimir grew up in downtown Brooklyn and live in downtown Manhattan, so for their shoot, they wanted a location that combined the advantages of both spots. They ended up selecting the Brooklyn Promenade, which is a great choice since they can then show off the beauty of both Manhattan and Brooklyn in their photos !Â
We like the Promenade a lot as well. For a small area, it has a lot of different and unique spots to take photos. First, we got photos showing the Manhattan Skyline.
Then, a few steps away, I (i.e., James) got photos of them with the sunlight coming through the trees. Yes, trees grow in Brooklyn.
And of course, I wanted to take a close-up showing how happy they are together.  Â
It doesn’t look like it in the photos, but it was a very cold day.  This is how Denyse kept warm between shots.
We ended the shoot with the beautiful Brooklyn Brownstones as our backdrop.Â
Denyse & Vladimir were such troopers to brave the cold for their engagement photos.  They obviously enjoy each other’s company and it was nice to see them happy and laughing despite the icy weather. All is good when you’re in love !
Amanda & Vincent’s Engagement Photos – Central Park
March 11, 2008 – 9:27 pm
Amanda & Vincent will be getting married at the Madison Hotel in October and recently did engagement photos with us. Vincent proposed during a romantic carriage ride in Central Park, so of course, we did the shoot in Central Park ! Â
This is our favorite photo.  Love the different angle and the branches and blue sky showing through from above.
Love how the fish-eye lens captures the entire boat pond in this photo. Coincidentally, this is also where James proposed to me (i.e., Alice) a few years ago !
Think this is a beautiful photo of the couple.  They look very happy and content.
It didn’t snow much in New York City this winter, but luckily, Amanda & Vincent chose to do the shoot during the one weekend where there was snow in the park. Love the sun peeping through the trees and Amanda & Vincent’s shadows on the white snow. The serene background was the perfect setting for a romantic picture of this lovely couple.
We’ve enjoyed our time with Amanda & Vincent. They’re funny and fun-loving and we look forward to being part of their wedding in October. This will be our first wedding with a Man of Honor (vs. a Maid of Honor) and we are excited to see the wedding gown that Amanda’s Man of Honor helped her pick out !
