I can’t tell you how much fun I had working with Sara and Stephen on their holiday engagement session.  When Sara approached me about taking some pictures in and around Bryant Park, she suggested we meet at noon.  Because I’m always thinking ahead and am always up for a challenge, I recommended we meet at 3:30 which would give us just a few moments of daylight before sunset, at which time we would be able to see Bryant Park and New York City in all it’s twinkling holiday glory.

This was my first experience shooting an engagement session in the dark, in the cold, bumping elbows with a couple hundred of our fellow New York Holiday shoppers.  It really put my skills to the test but spending time with such a fun couple was well worth it.  Sara had done her homework beforehand and had come up with some great ideas for poses she wanted and I was thrilled to help try them out.  One of her suggestions involved heading into the NY Public Library.  We moved as quietly as possible and were only given a few dirty looks by the librarians.  As I am the son of a librarian I wasn’t sure my mother would have approved, but if you are going to break some rules, there are few places more beautiful than the inside of the NY Public Library so hopefully I’ll be forgiven.

Sara and Stephen, thank you for giving me the opportunity to work with you in one of my favorite parks in the city at one of my favorite times of the year.  Have a wonderful holiday and a happy new year and best of luck on your wedding plans!
