A couple of weeks ago we went with some friends to Hunter Mountain in Hunter, NY for their Oktoberfest celebration. The lift was running so we were able to head up to the top of the mountain and take in the beginning of the fall foliage season. There was actually a wedding ceremony taking place and the guests were coming down the mountain as we were going up. We got to the top just as the photographer was finishing the bridal portraits. All I can say is wow – what an amazing place to get married.
Can you imagine saying your “I do’s” with this as your backdrop?

They hadn’t taken down the wedding decorations and we used the opportunity to snap some portraits of Amanda and Mike.

There was a nice mix of green, orange, red, and yellow in the trees, and the clouds created some big shadows on the countryside below.

We met up with Erwin and Maritza for an awesome engagement session in Central Park in New York City. This session was especially special for me since Erwin and I are actually friends since childhood and this was the first time I was meeting Maritza. We all had a great time and can’t wait for the wedding next fall.
Though the park was busy, we were able to sneak in a few private shots here and there like this moment under a bridge.




An intimate moment then quick break for hot chocolate :)






Congratulations Maritza and Erwin!!!!

We met Nicole and James at Benmarl Winery in Marlboro on the Sunday evening before Labor Day. Benmarl is a special place for them because it’s where James proposed. It’s not the venue for their wedding, but they thought it would be a great place to do their Engagement Session. There was actually a wedding taking place while we were there, but we managed to stay out of their way and take lots of pictures in all the hot spots.
Location: Benmarl Winery, Marlboro, NY – Thanks Bethany!
Makeup: Marisa Verdi, MAC Cosmetics



We performed a reenactment of the proposal on the hill overlooking the valley. Some customers walking around thought they were bearing witness to the real event, so when James stood up they all clapped and cheered and shouted “Congratulations!” – it was great.

Luckily we didn’t miss the big harvest, so there were ripe grapes on the vine.

Nicole looking gorgeous – her eyes are fantastic.

Her smile is great, even though we lose those bright green eyes.

These two really know how to work the camera. Shooting their wedding next May is going to be a blast.

I caught this intimate moment in the wine cellar through a metal gate at the bottom of the stairs.

A few weeks ago we did a maternity session for Heidi and Mike, you can see the photos here. On August 14th, Sarah Sofia was finally born and welcomed into the world. This past weekend we did a 1-week newborn session with Sarah, Heidi, and Mike – she’s such an adorable baby, congratulations Heidi and Mike!



Daddy’s little princess, after just one week she’s already got him wrapped around her finger.

*Yawn* I must have been boring her. She was getting a little sleepy after an hour of shooting and being swaddled in her blanket. Heidi and Mike call her “baby burrito”.
