I had the best opportunity by joining Tricia and Peter in New York City last week for their engagement in the big apple! They are getting married next August in Vail. They live in Manhattan and wanted to capture this exciting time in their lives. Imagine my excitement when they welcomed the idea of flying me out to the city to capture their adventure?!
We navigated Central Park and the lovely Gapstow and Bow Bridges and all the enchanted woods feel of the park. We skipped along through town via the subway and stopped throughout the day for snacks like hot dogs and gelato! They are foodies like me so you can imagine we got along just fine. It was fun getting to see the city through their eyes and to be introduced to their favorite stomping grounds. One of my favorite moments was capturing the rush of the subway while Peter snuck a kiss. It was the perfect situation to try a GIF animation, what do you think?! I also found inspiration from a NYC photographer, Ryan Brenizer who pioneered a shooting technique that gives incredible depth of field. It was fun getting to play with the Brenizer Method in Ryan’s own backyard!
Tricia and Peter treated me dinner and drinks and really made me feel like family in the beautifully chaotic city of Manhattan. I spent a few extra days for myself to explore Brookly, Harlem and the Bronx. This was my third time in the city and each time I discover a totally new burrow. Thanks Tricia and Peter for continuing to fuel my passion to explore. Can’t wait to party on top of Vail Mountain next Summer! And thank you to Taylor at The Simply Elegant Group for connecting me with these sweethearts! – Ryan
Hot dogs and subways are the perfect characters for a NYC engagement!
