Danielle & Ashley | New York Botanical Garden Engagement Photos | Preview

I’ve had the opportunity to shoot many engagement sessions, but only rarely do I get asked to take photos of the actual proposal. What a thrill! Ashley flew up from South Carolina in the morning and arranged for his girlfriend Danielle to meet him at the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx. She said yes, of course!

Not only were we blessed with perfect weather and a beautiful grove of cherry trees in full bloom — but a painter nearby happened to catch the proposal on his canvas! How cool is that? Here’s a few preview shots from the special moment. More to come soon!

Cecily & Ali | Astoria Park Engagement Photography | Preview

Cecily and Ali are getting married this Saturday, and wanted to do an engagement session where they first met a few years ago in Astoria Park. Despite the cold weather, and the 30mph wind gusts, they were so fun to work with and took some beautiful photographs together. After spending some time in Astoria, we went to the pier at Long Island City and took some twilight shots with the New York City skyline. Enjoy the photos, more to come soon!

Jessica & Frank | Brooklyn Engagement Photography | Preview

Jessica and Frank are an amazing couple from Germany who met in New York City on an internship a few years ago. They came back here for a weeklong vacation and to re-live some memories, and Frank surprised Jessica with an engagement ring on Saturday evening! Even though engagement shots aren’t a big tradition in Germany, they wanted to take advantage of the special week with some fun photos together. Enjoy these images, more to come!

Frank - Hello BJ,

the previews are amazing, I like them very much! The scene of the picture with the Bob Dylan poster and the yellow bike that you discovered is so awesome – it needs an expert eye to find something like this!

Looking forward to seeing the other pictures, too!

Thank you so much!
