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.

Dina & Josh, a Long Island Wedding

AK — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 20:59:00 +0000

for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part.

marriageÂ takes a lot of love. so much love that you are willing toÂ share andÂ compromise and to forgive and understand someone besides yourself. which is the reason i have so much respect for anyone who commits their lives together as a holy bond with the blessings of God. He is our greatest example of love.

next month, my parents celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. 25 years of love. 25 years of togetherness. 25 years of strength.

through my job,Â in the month of june alone, iÂ wasÂ blessed to witnessÂ a jehovah’s witness, an othordox jewish, a few catholic ceremonies, and an interfaith jewish & hindu ceremony. so amazing. below are my faves from dina & josh’s wedding that i shot with jennifer davis.
