Timeless High Line & Central Park Engagement

A beautiful evening for engagement photos in central park and high line…

Alex & William’s engagement session started at on a quiet Central Park day, where the sun came out to meet us just so perfectly. We spent some time going to their favorite spots, reminiscing on how they met, and laughing our way through Bethesda Fountain while music from nearby buskers filled the air. Hopping off the subway, we strolled on through to the High Line, but not before a quick outfit change that put the cherry on top for this evening. As the city transitioned into night, I couldn’t help but document how romantic everything felt for these stunning souls. This has quickly become one of my favorite engagement sessions because of how effortless their love and willingness to be in the moment was.

It’s not often that a bride gets to wear her mothe It’s not often that a bride gets to wear her mother’s @galialahav wedding gown. Diana was absolutely timeless for her welcome party, and Chandler was the perfect compliment to enjoy the night ahead, welcoming friends near and far. This will be a 2-3 part series, as there’s just so many beautiful moments from their wedding weekend!

Extremely grateful to have worked alongside such a legendary team - more coming soon!

Gabrielle + Mike had an unforgettable wedding last Gabrielle + Mike had an unforgettable wedding last May. It rained heavily during their wedding day, but they remained in the moment leading with such a great intention to soak up every moment. I couldn’t help but notice how bright they shined despite the crazy weather, and I would be remiss if we did not revisit shooting their portraits on a separate, sunshine-filled day that’s as bright as their love. I truly, truly adore this couple and had so much fun with their “day after” session!

Casey married Natalie in the beautiful mountains o Casey married Natalie in the beautiful mountains of Colorado -  a place that he spent Summers growing up. 

Casey’s Papa John buried a bottle of bourbon upside down 1 month before the wedding, in true southern tradition, to ward off bad weather on the wedding. And boy did it pay off!

When I first arrived it felt like I was in a dream. You could hear the Conejos River running from my cabin, and the wind rustled through the aspen-lined roads. There was hardly any phone reception, making it the perfect place to unplug and have an intimate wedding day with your closest family and friends. 

This truly was such a beautiful wedding weekend that I won’t ever forget. #coloradowedding #menkhaven
