Posted by: ROB & KATHLEEN View More: ENGAGEMENTS They are the spokesmodels for the effectiveness of online dating. No, seriously - they are. JDate asked them to take part in a video promotion for their site most likely because their chemistry practically jumps off the screen. After four years of dating, their connection is clear and solid because it was there from the very beginning, before they had even met. She was new to the area and looking to meet people, specifically a cute guy. It took just minutes to set up a profile and she was flooded with e-mails from interested guys. She went on dates with a few, but felt no real connection with any of them. Then she stumbled across his profile. As she read it she felt like she already knew him - he had written it in a way that made her feel like he was having a conversation rather than simply typing up a list of facts about himself. She felt drawn to him and decided to make the first move. His profile showed he had an easy-going personality and from his picture she could tell he was very handsome...she had to snatch him up before another girl did! He saw her message and decided to check out her profile. Her unusual picture (a photo of her with her aunt's pet tortoise) caught his eye right away...this girl was different. After about a week of e-mailing, he felt the connection as well. He decided to take a chance and ask her out on what she calls a "short-notice" date. They lived in the same city, why not meet for drinks? Normally she would decline such an offer, but she made an exception for him. She couldn't really explain it, but she knew something was different about him...she didn't want to play games, she just wanted to meet him. The first date was a huge success - a casual meeting for drinks launched into 3 hours of conversation. They both felt an undeniable spark right away. As she returned home that night, she knew she had just met the man she was going to marry. LIZ & JAYSON We meet Liz & Jayson this Sunday at their amazing apartment in Norwalk. It's significant to them because it is the place they have made a home and because it's where Jayson proposed. As soon as we pulled up outside the building we were excited, it was an old factory building converted into loft-style condos...plenty of very cool photo opportunities and the perfect place to start their engagement session. They were dressed like they were ready for a date on the town (check out Liz's beautiful dress, and the red shoes!!), so we headed to South Norwalk for a city feel. We started at the Maritime Aquarium, the site of their 3rd date and we they happened to be getting married, for a couple of shots and then explored the streets a bit. It was unusually hot for this time of year, but Liz and Jayson were willing to walk around everywhere - in random alleys, under the train tracks, on the crowded streets. Since they both happen to love tennis, they decided to also incoprorate that into their session as well. They suited up into their casual attire (how cute is Liz's outfit?) and we headed to the courts. It was the perfect finish to the session and an excellent way to really enjoy the gorgeous weather.

We started Liz & Jayson's engagement session at their super cool apartment building in Norwalk. The building itself used to be a factory and has since been transformed into lofts. They thought (and we agreed) that it would be a fun feel to capture some photos in and around their building.

Before we really started their shoot, Liz & Jayson brought us up to their apartment and asked us to take a ring shot with their lizard. This is by far the most unique ring shot I think we have ever photographed. Their lizard was really cool though and was the perfect ring model!

Right outside the elevator in their building there was this beautiful open space complete with huge windows and cool light fixtures. We spent a lot of time in this area.

We love photographing against brick and this building was nothing but brick so you can imagine how much fun we were having. I really like how sweet Liz & Jayson are in this photo. This one is my view...

...and this is Kathleen's.

While we were photographing Liz & Jayson in this hallway, we started to hear the sounds of old music coming out of one of the apartments. It seemed very fitting that this was a good time to practice some first dance moves.

We really loved these windows and you all know how much I love silhouettes!

I think we would have been perfectly happy shooting in just this one hallway, there was so much we were able to do with it. As an added bonus we loved the lamps hanging from the walls.

Liz and Jayson were so much fun to be around and filled with so much happiness. I love their smiles here.

We spent sometime in one of the building's courtyards. The lighting in the courtyard was the perfect way to showoff Liz & Jayson's eyes in this portrait.

There were all of these little rooms and cool places to shoot around the building. We found this room between the courtyards that had some really nice light coming in through one of the windows. We really love the way they are holding each other here.

The green combining with the red from the building was so nice but what I love about this photo is how you can see the reflections of the other side of the building in the windows.

After spending some time at Liz & Jayson's apartment building we headed down to South Norwalk. We went to the area around the Maritime Aquarium which just so happens to be where they had their third date and where they will be getting married in July. We didn't take to many photos around the aquarium itself because we wanted to save some for their wedding day.

We did however head down the street and under the train tracks where we found this metal wall that Kathleen absolutely loved...

as well as a bunch of other cool textures that added such a nice feel to their session.

I personally love this one with the train tracks above.

Liz had on really great red shoes that went so nicely with her Anthropologie dress. Kathleen absolutely loves Anthropologie and if she could would probably get all of her clothing only from there.

Liz looks at Jayson in such a wonderful way, you just know they are made for each other.

This one was just for fun, I took a picture of one of the walls while we were at their apartment building (it had a really cool texture) and combined it with this photo to make a nice artistic photo. I really love the sun flare coming in and the warm feel.

The night before Liz & Jayson's session, Kathleen and I went out in South Norwalk with a couple of our friends. As we were out we spotted a couple of places we wanted to shoot. I'm not sure why but this stairway was one of those places that I thought was cool. We love the way that Liz turned around and looked at Jayson, so sweet!

We spent some time in South Norwalk just walking around and enjoying the day. What makes us smile about this photo is the guy in the SUV to the right looking on. We didn't notice him while we were taking this photo, it wasn't until we saw the picture itself. I guess sometimes people are going to look when they see us an all of our gear. One woman actually asked us during their shoot if we were photographing for a magazine!

Liz and Jayson love playing tennis. We all thought it would be a great way to wrap up their session by playing a little tennis. So we hopped in the car and headed over to the tennis courts at Norwalk High School. Kathleen and I enjoyed being sports photographers for a couple of moments as Liz and Jayson showed us their moves.

After they played for a few moments we had some fun shooting around the courts. We really love the one on the left, the clouds are so gorgeous!

Liz & Jayson we had so much fun spending the day with you and getting to explore so many places that have special meaning to you both. We’ll have to meet at the 7 Eleven in Fairfiled one day to grab that shot sometime!! :) We can't wait for your wedding in July!! ~Rob & Kathleen~

Posted by: ROB & KATHLEEN View More: ENGAGEMENTS They fit perfectly together. It's as though his shoulder was made for her to lean on, she falls so easily onto it, like she has a thousand times before. When they stand face-to-face, her forehead is the perfect height for him to give her a kiss, which he does, almost out of habit - it just seems natural. They have a way about them, an ease and comfort that comes when you someone inside and out. So much so, it's hard to imagine a time before they were a couple. It was a chance meeting - he happened to be in the same karate class as her aunt. One look at him, her aunt knew that he would be the perfect guy for her niece. Clearly she was right...that class was ten years ago. In just about six months, they'll make official what has been clear all along...they are made for each other. STEPHANIE & MANNY We met Stephanie and Manny on Saturday (our first of two engagement sessions this weekend) at Walnut Beach in Stamford. Stephanie loves the water, so it was the perfect place for their engagement session. They selected this beach in particular for two reasons...it had a nice long pier (not something easily found on a lot of CT beaches) and it seemed like it would be somewhat private since it wasn't too crowded when they had been there before on 4th of July. They were definitely right about the first point - the pier was fantastic. As for the privacy, that would have been true had it not been 80 degrees on Saturday afternoon. Although they may have been nervous at first about being photographed among the beach-goes, Stephanie and Manny relaxed very quickly and definitely brought out there inner models.

Stephanie & Manny chose Walnut Beach in Milford because it was significant to them as a couple. Kathleen and I had never been there before but felt so lucky to have photographed their engagement session there. We started their session right around 3 which was perfect because the tide was on its way out. We love shooting at low tide as it give the beach so much added texture.

There was this nice patch of grass that was a nice area to just look out and enjoy the incredibly beautiful day.

Stephanie & Manny told us that they were slightly nervous to be photographed, as many couples tell us before we start. We quickly showed them how much fun it could be to be photographed and they quickly relaxed.

We don't know exactly what he was saying but Manny kept Stephanie laughing throughout the entire afternoon.

The beach was filled with so many great places to photograph (including long beach grass - our favorite!). Manny and Stephanie fit each other like a glove, you can just see how perfect for each other they are.

We love the way that Stephanie looks at her soon-to-be husband.

We took a break from the bright sun and went under the pier. It provided a great place for some nice even light and some really nice moments between Stephanie and Manny. I LOVE the smile on her face in the bottom left one.

We found this little bridge / walkway in the middle of all the beach grass. I captured the one on the left and Kathleen captured the close-up one on the right.

I really like the feel of this one. This one is my view...

...and this is Kathleen's. I love the way she composed this photo.

We were so excited to spend such a beautiful day at the beach with such an awesome couple and as you can see we really loved photographing them on these walkways. How beautiful is the water in the background?!

I told you, we really loved these walkways!!

Stephanie was certainly awesome to have walked through all of the sand with those high heels on. It made for some really great photos and I LOVE how happy they are in the left photo.

Manny and Stephanie stopped for quick kiss while we took advantage of some of the beautiful low-tide textures.

I know I probably already said it, but we loved the way they looked at each other. It was incredibly sweet!

This photo feels very peaceful to me, it makes us want to go take a few days off to go to the beach!

We could have photographed at this beach literally all day, there were so many cool places. I love the simplicity of this relaxed portrait.

The rocks on the beach and the pier in the background combined with the perfect afternoon lighting was so incredible.

I really like these three photos but my favorite is the one on the bottom right which Kathleen captured.

We really think that hands tell a story and tell so much about people. We really love the sweetness of how Stephanie and Manny hold hands.

I thought it would be great to finish this post with this photo that Kathleen took. I love the composition and overall feel of it! Stephanie and Manny, we had such a great time with the both of you, we can't wait for your wedding!!

Posted by: ROB & KATHLEEN View More: WEDDINGS If her friends and family didn't already know that he was the perfect man for her, they definitely found on the afternoon of their wedding. He had his friend deliver a package to her just a few hours before the ceremony. She saw the box and laughed. "It matches!" she said, as she picked up the gift wrapped in yellow and blue, their wedding colors. Her mother, bridesmaids and aunts gathered around as she opened the card accompanying the present. Once she saw what was inside, she smiled again. She pulled out the card and the rest of the ladies in the room oohed and ahhed. "It's the same as your invitations!" one of them exclaimed. At the very thought that he had taken the time to write to her on the very same paper they had used for their invitation, she was already starting to tear up...and she hadn't even read a single word yet. She opened the card and her eye was drawn a small note that was tucked in to one side, it was his "P.S" Of course she had to read that first. When she did the tears that had been welling up finally started to fall. Someone took the card from her and read it aloud. The groom, a Massachusetts native (and big Red Sox fan) had borrowed a quote from a famous a Yankee in honor of his NJ bride. "Today, he considered himself the luckiest man on the face of the earth." At that, everyone was wiping away they tears. How could he top that?! In the midst of all the emotion, she almost forgot about the gift. She unwrapped it and everyone marveled at the gorgeous bracelet he selected for her. She put on immediately, it would look perfect with her dress. But that wasn't even the best part. We realized the true meaning of his quote when we got to the reception. It was further evidence of his attention to detail, the wedding details to be specific. Not only did the wrapping and the card reflect their wedding colors and theme, so did the mention of being "the luckiest." It was a reference to their song, the incredibly sweet ballad titled "The Luckiest" by Ben Folds (look it up and listen to it if you get a chance, it's beautiful). The song is very significant to them as a couple, so much so that they had even incorporated into their decor - on the cocktail napkins, the cocktail stirrers. He paid attention to every detail because he knew just how important it all was - not just to her, but to him as well. They weren't simply colors, invitations, or napkins - they were reflections of them as a couple and their journey - from their first date, to their engagement, to this very day...the day she makes him the luckiest man in the world, the day she becomes his wife. GILLIAN & ERIC Gillian and Eric lucked out (sorry, I had to!) in many ways - not the least of which was the incredible weather they had this past Saturday. The whole way up to Saybrook Point Inn & Spa on Saturday morning, we and our associate photographer Sue kept marveling at the temperature reading on the dashboard...70 degrees! We arrived at Gillian's suite just in time to hear everyone agree that she and Eric had to take advantage of the unseasonably warm temperatures and have the ceremony outside, overlooking the marina - which they did. The ceremony was beautiful, filled with touches that were very "them": a sweet poem comparing the nurturing of love to raising a dog (take care of your love they way you would care for your pet, and you will get all the affection you could ever need), and sentimental vows they wrote themselves. The outdoor location allowed all of guests to have full view of the happy couple. Nearly every guest had the same look on their face...complete happiness for Gillian and Eric. They were made for each other and everyone could see it. When the reception came and Gillian and Eric held each other as they danced to "The Luckiest," there was barely a dry eye in the room. Eric had written earlier that he was the luckiest person on the face of the earth, but with just one glance into his eyes on the dance floor, Gillian told him that she felt the very same way - without ever having to say a word.

Similar to our prior wedding post we thought it would be great to start off Gillian & Eric's Wedding Story with this photo of them in front of one of my favorite things... long grass!! This was immediately after the ceremony at about 6:15 in the evening, the sky, the light, the grass was simply amazing. What I am also very happy with is this is out of camera (no editing). Kathleen and I could have shot there all day!

Ok, now to the beginning of their day. We love photographing at the Saybrook Point Inn, the rooms are very "Old Connecticut" in design and they have amazing views of the water. Kathleen and I started Gillian and Eric's Wedding with a photo of her dress by Pronovias hanging on the door...

...and her shoes up on the window. The blue sky and the light coming in was really nice.

The yellow and blue flowers were really beautifully done and added to the spring feel of Gillian & Eric's Wedding.

Gillian was so laid back and relaxed as she got her hair and make-up done by Ashley & Imaira from Beauty Entourage. Gillian's friend stopped by while everyone was getting ready and took a moment to look at photos on Gillian's camera from the rehearsal dinner the night before.

Eric had one of his groomsmen bring Gillian a hand-written card and gift. As soon as Gillian started reading the note that he wrote, she (and most of the room) teared up. It was such a nice moment.

Putting on a wedding dress is sometimes a team effort, I love how serious and intent everyone (especially Gillian's mom) looks here.

One of the flower girls after getting in her dress. She was so funny; while everyone else was getting ready, her mom was having her practice tossing flowers. It was very cute and paid off nicely, she ended up doing a great job as she came down the aisle.

The texture of the wallpaper and a simple light fixture provided the perfect place for a quick bridal of Gillian. We love the detail in her veil!

Gillian and Eric opted to see each-other before the ceremony. When our couples choose to do this, we love to setup a time for a "first meeting" so they can have a special moment as they see each-other for the first time. There are these docks behind the hotel where Gillian and I headed to for their first meeting. Kathleen stayed up in the room with the girls and caught this moment of the flower girls trying to catch a peek.

Gillian was up for anything, before meeting Eric she took a seat on the dock and hung her feet over the water for this simple photo.

As she heard the gentle steps of her soon-to-be husband she started to get very excited...

...and so did Eric as he saw Gillian in her wedding dress for the first time. We LOVE the first moment that a couple sees each other in their wedding outfits, the excitement is so wonderful.

Before the wedding party joined us we had a couple of moments alone with Gillian and Eric, the docks provided such a quite place for some relaxed portraits before their ceremony.

As the wedding party walked across the docks to join in some photos, Gillian and Eric paused for a quick kiss.

How cool is this!?! The entire wedding party took a seat and threw their legs over the side of the dock for some really fun photos. Let me tell you this group was a ton of fun, there was never a dull moment!

This one kind of feels like a painting to us, it is so peaceful.

As we were walking to the ceremony area, Gillian and Eric stopped for one more photo by the water, it was SO beautiful out.

All day long Gillian was trying to figure out if the weather was going to hold out long enough to have their wedding outside. The weather did in-fact hold out and ended up being perfect for their outside ceremony. Right before walking down the aisle with her mom, Gillian teared up as she realized that it was finally her turn to get married.

I absolutely love simplicity in photography. This is one of my favorite moments during their ceremony, I love the tree brances and the moment between Gillian and Eric.

The way that Eric looks at Gillian is perfect. This one is Kathleen's shot...

...and this is mine of the very same moment. We love the reaction of the bridesmaids as they witness Gillian and Eric getting married.

Husband & Wife!! :)

I know we say this quite often, but the moment right before the kiss is something we absolutely love. We especially love this "mini-story" of Gillian and Eric's first kiss as husband and wife.

As you saw in the first photo of this post, the light and the sky were so beautiful immediately following the ceremony and Gillian and Eric looked spectacular! This one is my view...

...and all three of these are Kathleen's. I get so excited to see the photos that Kathleen captures and how well our individual styles work together. It always amazes me to see how she captures the same moment. My favorite out of these three is by far the one on the left.

We kept hearing noises like that of a small animal in the long grass, but that did not stop me from walking into it to get this photo as the sun set.

The ballroom at the Saybrook Point Inn was really elegant. Of course I LOVED the chandeliers.

Their cake by Creative Cakes by Donna was simple and elegant.

Gillian and Eric danced to "The Luckiest" by Ben Folds. I love both of these dance shots so much that I can't pick a favorite between the two... Kathleen's favorite is the one on the left. It is a good thing they work very well next to each-other. :) Look for a future post relating to their first dance song, we have something special planned! :)

We figured it would be fitting to finish this post with this shot during the last dance of the evening. Gillian & Eric, we had such a wonderful time spending your day with you. We hope you are having an awesome time in Tahiti & Australia, can't wait to see the pictures you get!! Thank you so much for everything and once again Congratulations!! ~Rob & Kathleen~

Posted by: ROB & KATHLEEN View More: ENGAGEMENTS Six years ago, two young people found themselves on the campus of Yale, two small specks among the nearly 450 buildings, 575 dorm rooms, and 5,000 students. It would be easy to get lost in any of the buildings of Yale, not to mention the busy streets of New Haven. Yet in all of this, these two somehow managed to find one other. It was a casual evening out with friends at a local restaurant. He recognized her from a class they had together freshman year. Most likely her red hair and luminous smile had caught his eye, but they never actually met back then. On such the large campus, they may not have crossed paths again. But fate intervened, just took two years later. It was junior year...they were finally at the same place at the same time again, this time having drinks with a group of friends at a local restaurant. After several sake bombs, she stood up and asked if anyone would like another. He knew this was his opportunity and volunteered to go up to the bar with her. They hit it off right away. Six years later, he looks at her like he can't believe how lucky he is, she smiles in a way that makes it clear that she couldn't be crazier about him. In a campus of 5,000 people, among the 450 buildings and thousands of rooms, these two young people found "the one." In just six weeks, they will become husband and wife. BRI & GEOFF Going back to explore the campus of Yale with Bri and Geoff for their engagement session was an amazing experience. As we wandered from college to college, hearing about their experiences and the beginning of their relationship, we had the unique opportunity of seeing the campus through their eyes. We brought that approach into their engagement session, as though we had stumbled upon them during their time as undergrads...Geoff looking at Bri lovingly as she played the piano, Bri smiling at Geoff as they walked hand-in-hand on the green. As the sun began to drop in the sky, we went across town to Lighthouse Point Park to have some beach shots as well. It was especially significant to them because Geoff had proposed on a beach. Since they both love the beach and hope to have a house by the ocean one day, it makes perfect sense that Geoff ask Bri to spend the rest of her life with him along the shore in Cape Cod a year and a half ago. Thanks so much for a wonderful day Bri & Geoff - especially the tour of Yale, fun of the beach and the delicious fondue!! See you in just 6 weeks!!

Whether it is an engagement session, wedding day or portrait session, we love to incorporate the architecture or landscape of the place we are photographing at into our photos. We get really excited every time we have a session at Yale because the architecture their is simply fantastic.

I also have a thing for bikes in photography, I am not sure where that came from but I find myself incorporating them anytime I have the opportunity. We love they way Bri and Geoff are holding each other here.

There series of photos make me us so happy, I love the top right one that Kathleen captured and I really love Bri's eyes in the bottom right one.

Bri and Geoff were a little nervous at first (as I understand because I get nervous being in front of the camera as well) but we quickly calmed them down and nervousness they may have felt in the beginning is certainly long gone in these shots!

This just maybe one of my favorite photos from their entire session. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE silhouettes, as I have probably said about a million times. I think they are so emotional and moody and well there is just something really nice about them.

Kathleen captured this photo of Bri and Geoff... there smiles are so contagious!

These two could not stop hugging each other, it was wonderful to see how connected they are.

We loved Bri's red hair. She had it done for their engagement session. She scheduled her wedding day hair and make-up trial for the same day as their engagement session which is something we definitely recommend.

Since Bri & Geoff both went to Yale, they gave us a couple tours of some of the buildings. We found this beautiful Steinway in one of the common areas. So not only did we get to see inside some of these incredible buildings, we also got to enjoy some of Bri's piano talent while Geoff sat beside her.

We of course take plenty of straight on photos which are great for newspapers and so on, this is one of those shots.

Spring is finally here and the beautiful colors in this tree combined with one of the Yale buildings provided a gorgeous backdrop. My favorite in this set is the one on the left, Kathleen's favorite is the top right.

Look how much height Bri got, we were very impressed!

Kathleen almost lost her mind when we found these card catalogs in the library. For those of you who don't know, Kathleen really loves card catalogs, books and libraries in general. All of these card catalog drawers are now empty due to the advent of computerized lookups but they were still really fun to photograph. This one is my view...

... and this is Kathleen's view a moment later. I love how some of the drawers were open, it made for some really nice visual interest.

We just had to do a ring shot around the card catalogs, so Kathleen looked around and found their wedding date (5/30) which is exactly where we photographed Bri's engagement ring.

That is supposed to say Lovett Room, but we thought this was much more fun.

The rare books library is really interesting in design. My dad (he is in concrete construction) actually worked on part of this building. It is interesting because the concrete is specially designed to only let in the right kind of light as to not damage the very old books in the building. We like photographing with this building as a backdrop because it is so different. Side note, apparently you are not supposed to sit on the wall in front of the building, so moments after we took this photo Bri and Geoff were asked to get off by Yale Security.

Kathleen captured this one, isn't it sweet!

After we spent a ton of time exploring Yale, we headed over to Lighthouse Point Park to get the beach feel that Bri so greatly wanted. Bri & Geoff had never been to Lighthouse Point before so it was fun showing them around the park.

Although it was a little gray and slightly cooler by the water, it was essential to Bri and Geoff that we get them running on the beach. Of course we thought it was a great idea, so they slipped of their shoes and socks and we got some really run beach shots.

This one feels very mystical to us.

We love the lighting at this point in the day, late afternoon is such a sweet time to be shooting. The bottom left one is my favorite ones from this series. The feeling between these two is wonderful, you can just tell that they were made for each other.

I love the point-of-view that Kathleen had in this one.

Another relaxed portrait. :)

We took a photo of one of our couples who got married at the Candlewood Inn in November of 2007 in front of a big tree on the property. Bri loved that photo so much that when we saw this tree at Lighthouse Point Park, we had do something very similar. We love the look of the branches against the cloudy sky. It was the perfect way to finish their session.

Posted by: ROB & KATHLEEN View More: PORTRAITS He whispers in her ear, something he knows will make her crack up. When she does he looks down at her and smiles, proud that he can make her laugh like that. She walks ahead and does something silly, knowing it will make him laugh. She looks over her shoulder at him, and he's grinning right back at her. It's almost like a little game they play with each other, and you can picture what it was like when they were first dating. The subtle flirtation, the sly smiles, the witty banter...all laying the ground work for what they have now, an incredible relationship built upon their undeniable chemistry. When you're around these two, you can't help but feel it. They make you smile just talking to them, they make you laugh when they joke with each other - you can see how much they care about each other. Most of all, you can see it in the way they communicate when they're not talking at all. Sure, they may drive each other crazy from time to time, but they wouldn't want it any other way. They have embraced each another as they truly are and forged a deeper connection - a connection built on their chemistry and strengthened by understanding. They are a team...in life and in work. VICKI & ERIK On Friday, we had the pleasure of returning a favor to our good friends Vicki & Erik of Victoria Souza Photography. As you probably remember, they took some amazing photos of us last month, and this time it was their turn. So we headed into the city and trekked to many different parts of Manhattan - Chinatown, Central Park, the Meatpacking district, and even threw in some subway shots, just for fun. Rob and I almost had sensory overload - here we were in NYC, with all it's cool locations and we were lucky enough to be photographing our very good friends, who looked amazing and were totally "bringing it" as models. We also happened to have some gorgeous weather, which made for one incredibly packed city. It was like all the apartment buildings in NYC were empty because everyone was out on the street or lounging in the park, but we did manage to find several awesome locations free from the masses.

We started Vicki and Erik's session in Chinatown and almost lost our minds when we found this really cool garage door. The colors and texture we so great and we just had to photography them in front of it.

As you can see we had a lot of fun, I really love Kathleen's shot on the left and the one I captured on the bottom right.

How much fun is this one? We love when people or cars go in front of us while shooting, it makes it really interesting. I also really love the look on Vicki's face.

The city textures contrast so nicely with Vicki & Erik's outfits.

Such a sweet moment. The moment before the kiss to us is almost better than the kiss itself.

We love the look on Vicki's face here as she holds Erik.

Here is a close-up of the one prior only because I couldn't decided which one I liked better. I love the moodiness of the black and white.

This one was just for fun. Interestingly enough the sign on the pole says NO PARKING but in typical NYC fashion someone decided it would be a good idea to not only park their motorcycle there but also lock it to the pole! :)

Such a nice moment!

This alley way had just about every texture imaginable to photograph in front of. We could have photographed there all day long, it was great!

After spending some time in Chinatown we headed up to Central Park to get another feel. Spring was in full bloom at the park and we definitely took advantage of it. The trees and sky were so beautiful!

We LOVE this moment!!

We found a tunnel that provided some really nice even light which provided the perfect spot for some really sweet moments. The way Erik is holding Vicki in the bottom right one makes us so happy.

We REALLY love this one!! We wonder what Erik said to Vicki to make her smile like that?! It's the Vicki and Erik we know! :)

Vicki and Erik fit each other like a glove, we love the way they smile at each other.

This is one of our favorite portraits of Vicki & Erik.

To us, the gentle smirks that are on both of their faces on the right really show their personalities.

We know this has been done before and we didn't plan on doing this on this shoot. But as we were walking down the sidewalk past the firehouse, the garage door opened and a fireman came out. So we didn't pass up the opportunity to ask him if we could take a photo or two on the truck.

This is one of our favorites from their session, it feels kind of vintage and we love the way that both Vicki and Erik turned to look at each other.

The way Vicki's eyes are sparkling in the evening light is so beautiful.

After spending some time walking around a couple of east side neighborhoods, we headed down to the meat packing district just in time for sun set. We have always wanted to photograph on the cobblestone streets and Vicki and Erik were up for anything. The combination of the street and the taxi's headlights provided the perfect opportunity for a sweet silhouette.

We found this random outdoor area to a club that had a bunch of lights overhead.

Kathleen found this spot and I personally really love this one, a cool brick wall and only available lighting created a nice and moody photo.

My personal favorite from the entire day. This was also shot only with available light. In addition this photo is right out of camera (no editing). I absolutely LOVE IT!!

We really like it in black and white as well... again only with available lighting.

On our way back to Grand Central to grab a train home, we had some fun with the subway going by. Vicki & Erik - thank you so much for spending the day with us and being such incredible models. We feel lucky to have had the opportunity to photograph you, but we're even luckier to have you as our friends.
