[Engagement] Nicole & Brian – Meatpacking and West Village, NY

Oh how we loved working with Nicole and Brian, let us count the ways! Especially considering the perfect storm of coincidences that had to occur for this to happen, we couldn’t have been happier to have them on our calendar. When we finally met them during our initial consult, it was simply love at first sight. Their energy and chemistry together was just off the charts, and unbeknownst to us…that was them on a bad day! A few weeks later, I received a phone call from them with an invitation for lunch…which would take place during our engagement session (of course). That’s one creative way to break it to your photographer that you’re booking them, I suppose :).

Nicole and Brian, thank you for being such superstars in life! We had so much fun playing paparazzi with you guys and we hope you enjoy these images as much as we enjoyed capturing them. We hope to hang out with you guys again before your wedding next year. We know it’s going to be such a fantastic party, we can hardly contain ourselves!

We’ve been cranking our post-production pipeline double-time these past two weeks, so we hope to finally get caught up with all our Summer brides! We were originally due for a mini-vacation this weekend, but we’re on a roll and we ain’t stopp’n! We’ll be taking a breather in a few more weeks :).

Happy Friday everyone!
