Nicole+Edward | The Proposal

Mariann — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 23:47:57 +0000

Nicole and Edward traveled from Vienna to spend a few days in New York City. What Nicole didn’t know, was, that Edward was planning to pop the question and had an elaborate plan with the help of Sarah from Brilliant Event Planning.
Edward and Sarah asked some New Yorkers with great singing voice to sing Nicole and Edward’s favorite song to Nicole and also hand her a single rose. By the end of the song Edward also joined into the singing with his own rose. Then he asked the question, in German of course and Nicole said yes!! The couple literary jumped for joy many times, sang and laughed, cried and danced.
Many witnesses clapped and congratulated the happy couple.
After the proposal the couple enjoyed a picnic right in front of Belvedere castle.
Congratulations to Nicole and Edward!!
Many thanks to Sarah for doing such an amazing job with the planning!!

Adriana and Michael flew in from Chicago to revisit some of their favorite New York City spots where they met, hang out and enjoy. We started the session in the Meatpacking District, stopped by the High Line and ended the session in Battery Park. Had a great time photographing Adriana, Michael and of course, Santi the couple’s chihuahua.

Really excited about their wedding next year in the Dominican Republic!!

Avni+Chris | The proposal

Mariann — Fri, 07 May 2010 17:09:24 +0000

Chris contacted me a few months ago from Michigan as he was planning to propose to his girlfriend Avni in Central Park and was looking for a photographer to document the special moments.

The weather was perfect in New York City in May as Avni and Chris were walking towards Strawberry Park. After a few snaps of themselves, Avni and Chris sat down on a bench and enjoyed some acoustic Beatles music from a local guitar player. Shortly after that Chris got down on one knee and asked one of the most important questions ever from Avni….

Naturally she said yes with tears of happiness and laughter followed! Avni was so surprised and had no idea of the months of planning Chris has been working on. What a special day and so glad to be part of it.

Congratulations to Avni and Chris!!

Jennifer+Thomas

Mariann — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 19:03:12 +0000

Jennifer and Thomas are born and raised Brooklynites so it was an easy decision to get engaged in Brooklyn, and take their engagement photos in Brooklyn. We started out the session in DUMBO, at the exact same spot where Thomas popped the question to Jennifer. It was great getting to know Jennifer and Thomas and we really lucked out with gorgeous fall weather and beautiful light. Here are some of my favorite images:

Special thanks to Joy and Abby (whose wedding I photographed last summer) to gift this session to Jennifer and Thomas. Aren’t photographs the perfect presents?

J+T – thank you, I had a blast!! :)

Cynthia+Steve

Mariann — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 20:06:20 +0000

Cynthia and Steve picked some amazing Manhattan locations for their engagement portraits. We started at the Cloisters, stopped by Central Park where Steve popped the question, made a quick detour into the Metropolitan Museum and finished the session at the South Street Seaport.

We had a great time and can’t wait for the wedding in October!!

Emily+Mike

Mariann — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 02:05:43 +0000

Emily and Mike chose the beautiful Morgan park in Glen Cove for their engagement portraits. The rain held out for the session and some of the dark clouds actually added some pretty drama to the photos.

Here are some of my favorites:

Looking forward to seeing Emily and Mike at their September wedding!
