After my trip to Panama, I flew straight to New York City to photograph Tess and Al's engagement session, which began in Central Park and ended at Columbus Circle. Although I'm photographing Tess and Al's wedding this summer in Naperville, IL, Tess and Al met in NYC and wanted to include this beautiful city in their engagement session. (By the way, I'm always available to shoot destination engagement sessions.) Al actually proposed to Tess on Bow Bridge in Central Park.
We walked quite a bit around Central Park and you can see from the photographs, Central Park is so lovely and peaceful, especially in the morning. Al was full of boundless energy and random tidbits of knowledge while Tess was a good-humored sweety with a dimple worthy of envy.
I had a great time exploring NYC with you, Tess and Al. Won't be long before I see you in your wedding finery. :)

Love the close up of the hands on the bow bridge that is a perfect reminder of such a life changing event. And the last photo is fantastic so peaceful in each other arms while in the background reality of a crazy world is forgotten.

(05.14.10 @ 06:34 AM)They seem so comfortable around you. It shows in the photos. Their wedding photos are going to rock if you guys have this kind of chemistry on the wedding day.
(05.14.10 @ 10:02 AM)What a cute couple!! Isn't love wonderful?!
(05.14.10 @ 11:13 AM)Looks like you got a cute couple and great locations to make this a beautiful set. Nice work Laurie!!

(05.14.10 @ 03:25 PM)Oh my how awesome is the shot with the Sun coming through the clouds? Outstanding, that's what. Fantastic work Laurie.
(05.14.10 @ 06:44 PM)Pretty awesome Laurie! I'm so jealous you are shooting in CP! Have to say the composition of the pic of them walking up the stairs while being framed by the shadow of the tunnel is spot on.
(05.15.10 @ 01:49 AM)Stunning! I'm a big fan of trees and you rocked this couple with the trees. A good example of creating personalized art.
(05.15.10 @ 10:18 AM)I am loving this set Laurie!! I especiall love the shots with the fountain in the BG. Great work!
(05.15.10 @ 05:41 PM)These are sooo gorgeous, how fun that you got to go to NYC! And upon closer look, I remember Tess from high school! We had a mutual friend, whatta small world :)
(05.19.10 @ 12:10 PM)Kristin and Tim met me the day after Tim proposed to Kristin. Kristin's dad had surprised the couple with tickets to a bridal show and they won the free engagement session with me through a raffle. I think I was the lucky one to get to work with such an easy-going couple willing to brave the cold.
It was such a pleasure working with you, Kristin and Tim. Congrats!!

(03.11.10 @ 12:04 AM)Normally I get jealous when I see shots from photographers living in California, but this set shows we can use our Northern weather and light and still come out with awesome shoots! Sadly I've never been to Chicago, but shots like (2) and (4) really take me there. well done!

(03.12.10 @ 07:29 PM)Very cool night shots Laurie. I love the towering urban landscape in the background.
