BROOKLYN SUNRISE, NYC

I met Ricardo a couple of years ago, I took his graduation pictures for BYU . After that, we didn’t really keep in touch, until last year that I needed some shelter for some nights that I couldn’t find an affordable place to stay in NYC for a couple nights. Ricardo DM me over instagram offering his place for me to stay. At that time I was meeting a friend and shooting for New York fashion week, plus, I had a super important meeting with clients for another wedding in NYC. He was a lifesaver, we got to talk more about his work and life. He mentioned his girlfriend back then and, tells me that we might be talking in the future for engagement pictures and possibly the wedding.

When he finally got engage, btw,the guys got engage in Santorini … Yep. Ricardo contacted me for engagement pictures in NYC, I was so excited to travel over there again and have a half day experience with them in this beautiful city.

We decided to start at sunrise in the Dumbo area in Brooklyn and then in the Brooklyn bridge. After that, we finished the shoot in the Bethesda Terrace in Central Park, both iconic and beautiful locations.

Last year, I finally had the chance to really get into phot-shoots who were not so much about the 1-2 hours shoot. Furthermore, is about the experience, experiencing the location, telling a story and making my clients comfortable enough to feel themselves. The day before this shoot, we went out shopping and picked their outfits and were able to familiarize with each other, plus talking about styling in a way that wasn’t intimidating but can help you feel more confident.
