Here are a few of my favorite shots from Toria and Don’s wedding last weekend! They rented Teatro’s so we could do some of their wedding photos there and I will not lie..I could spend hours upon hours in there..it’s so cool. Enjoy!

I love this photo, it totally makes me laugh! Jasmine ( their wedding planner)  with Reflections Wedding Design did a step and repeat for the couples guests to enjoy during cocktail hour and the reception so we decided to have a bit of fun. Their MC photo bombed their debut as Husband and Wife!

Here’s a couple photos we took on Feb 24/11 at Kelsey’s cousin Allison’s wedding in Nuevo Vallarta. ( see the photos HERE)  Hee hee …yes Kelsey and Matt I had to post these!
I remember telling Kelsey when she caught Allison’s bouquet that we would be shooting her and Matt’s wedding next! ( look at the enthusiasm even though Matt is trying to take some pictures..haha)  In the summer of 2011 we got the call. We are so excited to be photographing their big day this summer!!!

Here’s a few of my favorite photographs from their engagement session we just did…

P.S. You HAVE to read the proposal story, it totally rocks!

When’s the big day? Aug 11, 2012

How did you meet? After a series of fateful decisions, we met in 2005 in a line outside of the Roadhouse. I was there with a friends birthday and Matt was meeting friends inside for one of his friends birthday. Once inside Matt bought us a drink and my friend went to check his jacket. While checking his jacket my buddy was kicked out (presumably for drinking from a flask in line?) and I was unknowingly left alone with Matt. We spent most of the evening looking for our friends which neither of us ever found. Matt and I spent the rest of the night dancing together and a few days later he called to ask me for drinks.

Interestingly we later learned that our fathers not only worked in the same building downtown, but parked next to each other. They knew each other long before Matt and I met from various elevator conversations. More interesting then that, is that that our late grandfathers worked together long before our fathers would have met.

How did he propose?

We had planned to go to NYC in October as one of my best friends had just moved there and Matt had always wanted to go. I really just thought this was a fun getaway to somewhere we both had wanted to visit. What I didn’t know was that Matt had done far more planning…

Our first day there Matt had seemed really distracted which I brushed off as being overwhelmed by being in such an iconic place. He also seemed rather stressed about the timing of the tickets he had purchased for he and I and my bestie to go to the Empire State Building for sunset. It really was a journey as we had no luck getting a cab and Matt was practically in a sprint to get there. I was thinking that the sun was getting lower in the sky, but it seemed we would still have lots of time to get some great photos. It should be noted that in our day-to-day lives, I am the stickler for being on time and Matt is more laid back but on this day our roles could not have been more reversed. The other thing is that given that it is the three of us going…I am not suspecting anything romantic. I was just thinking how grateful I was that I am getting to share this experience with my friend and my boyfriend. After a sprint to the building, a bypass of a couple line-ups, and a cheesy souvenir picture, we were on our way to the observation deck.

The elevator doors opened to reveal a hint of the amazing views of New York City from out on the observation deck. My instant reaction was that we must get out there so we can get a good spot for sunset. The first doors we walked up to were automatic doors that despite my waving my hands in front of the sensor would not open. Matt, ever the problem solver is saying no just go further around. Okay fine, but I wanted to get outside so I rush over to door number two. Just as I reach for the handle I hear Matt say “no go around further”. A strange request but fine, coming up on door number three again Matt is saying to keep going around. At this point I am almost ready to throw a protest to just get outside, really that’s the whole point isn’t it? But before I can say anything I turn the corner and down at the far end is my Mom and Dad and Matt’s cousin Mark and cousin-in-law Linda.

My first thought was “OMG! This can only be one thing!”, and I could feel myself begin to shake. Slightly dazed, we reached the family and after a moment of awkward conversation it happened. Matt had a ring and was down one knee, and I instantly was crying. I am not sure what Matt said (thank goodness there was a lot of filming going on) but for the first time ever I was rendered completely speechless. Importantly, in the end I somehow I managed to nod out a yes!

The rest of our time at the top was a blur for me, as I mostly shook and cried. I remember trying to take in the view without much luck. There were just a few hundred things going through my mind, so it is really a good thing that we took a lot of pictures. We all went down to the lounge on the main floor for a couple of bottles of champagne. My shaking had hardly subsided when I hear someone say “does she know the other thing yet?” Matt pipes up and says “Oh ya, so we don’t have anything planned for Saturday right? Because you have an appointment at Kleinfelds at 1:15 PM” and the shaking started all over again.

Matt really did an absolutely fantastic job!!
