Nadja + Tim, a NYC Engagement

AK — Fri, 20 May 2011 05:02:18 +0000

Nadja and Tim’s love story began in New York City. To celebrate their engagement, their wishes were to capture the two of them with the beauty of NYC as their backdrop. You see, soon they will be moving to Germany, Nadja’s home and the place of the next chapter in their love story. I am hoping the memories these photos will bring to them will last for a lifetime.

Maria + Kevin, Engagement at Central Park

Winter lovin and the case of the missing glove.

I met Maria and Kevin during their recent trip to New York City. And true to being Floridians, keeping up with a pair of gloves wasn’t the easiest but will keep them laughing with memories for years to come.

Sweet summer lovin. Kristine and Matt were so graciously referred to me by her cousin Lindsay! Seriously, the way Matt kisses her on the forehead is the sweetest thing.

Mandy + Jason, Engagement in Central Park

AK — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 13:14:12 +0000

Within the first 2 minutes of meeting with Jason and Mandy, Jason asks me “Are you in a relationship?” “Uh, no… why? Do you know someone eligible?”

I was initially really shocked by the question. But it seems only natural that others try to understand where I get my enthusiasm for couples in love. And it is so thrilling to work with such open, genuine people who are interested in knowing the woman behind the camera.

And for the record, I cannot wait to find the beautiful love and partnership that all of my amazing clients experience day to day.

xoxo, AK

Lindsay + Brice, Engagement in the Military

AK — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 14:32:07 +0000

Love finds you when you least expect it. Lindsay & Brice met in Pismo Beach, CA. Brice, originally from Missouri, was working there at the time and Lindsay happened to be visiting.Â She lived in Phoenix, AZ. After not being satisfied with long distance, he moved to be with her. And just a couple months ago, they were engaged.

Lindsay contacted me because at the last minute Brice was given an unexpected 4 day pass, which they planned to spend together in NYC. Brice is in the Military Police in the United States Army. A couple weeks ago, he deployed to Iraq, beginning a one year tour of duty.

I am honored that they chose me to capture their love at this time in their relationship. My gratitude is enormous for the men and women whose hearts lead them to serve. Thank you Brice for your courage and passion, and to your family for their strength.

Our session started in the heart of NYC, Times Square, and we walked to Central Park. Although, by the time we reached the park, it started to rain. It was a light rain but consistent, so we still got wet, and decided to end at the Columbus Circle Mall. Lindsay trooped it out and threw her hair into a ponytail. I love a girl who rolls with the punches.

Sarah + Vivek, a Grand Central proposal

AK — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 22:54:16 +0000

Vivek sent Sarah on a scavenger hunt with dares she had to complete along the way, like yelling “In-N-Out is better” at Shake Shack. Sarah is a west coast native, like myself, so it’s only natural for her to believe so. Eventually, he led her to Grand Central where he was waiting to propose in front of 500,000 daily commuters and tourists. Okay fine, only a portion of those commuters happened to be there at the particularly moment, but it’s possible they could have all been there. Afterwards, we spent some time taking shots around Grand Central. There really is so much beauty in the uniqueness of the architecture at the terminal.

Vivek’s one of a kind proposal was so thoughtful. Not only did he make sure the event was photographed, but he also had a videographer on hand. Sim Butalia and I had a lot of fun running around town and dodging Sarah. And I can’t wait for the next proposal!

Jenny + Andrew, a Central Park Engagement

AK — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 05:06:07 +0000

I am sure someone out there is ready to report me to the general counsel of the world wide web for neglecting my blog for so long.Â My excuse is that I have been working on getting a new website and blog up for so long that I neglected to post. But on the positive side I am learning to make executive decisions!

This is just the beginning of a whole batch of new posts. To start with all my updates, I am introducing Jenny & Andrew’s engagement session at Central Park. Jenny’s green sweater is gorgeous against the backdrop of the the park. Many couples ask me about what to wear for their engagement session. Well, it’s up to you whether you would like to be dressy or casual, but either way make sure you dress like yourself. I really think Jenny & Andrew got it right. Oh and that’s Saddie, their Collie.

Stay tuned for the launch of my newly designed website.
