NYC recap and Ann Taylor windows

Matt and I went on a last, last minute trip to NYC earlier in the week/weekend and had a great time. We've both never been so everything was new. :) It was mostly meetings and business, but we did get to squeeze in some great meals and sightseeing.

Visiting Lovely Bridal Shop. It was so great to meet Lanie and the ladies at Lovely! Such a gorgeous shop - brides - you should check them out!

The lovely Elizabeth Dye - West coast on the east coast. :)

Dining at Momofuku - delish pork buns.

Chocolate french toast at Norma's - layers of sliced loaf chocolate cake, cooked like french toast, with pan seared strawberries, pistachios, chocolate sauce and whipped cream. Yum!

New York City Wedding Photography, Elizabeth + Taber

Posted by Mariah, Photos by Mariah:

Last in our series of photodates in NYC, but certainly not the least... Taber and Elizabeth! Ta-da!

There's just something about these two... Taber has that devilish twinkle in his eye and you never know quite what he's going to say. Liz is just well, va-va-voom! I'd give my left eye (not my right because I focus with that one) to be as vivacious and gorgeous as Liz. Want to feel dull? Just stand next to Liz. (Taber is the exception of course).

Some pretty handsome posing going on here...




I love this photo! Doesn't Liz just seem like someone you'd want to be friends with?

Spicey.

We met Taber and Liz at the Conservatory Garden at the north end of Central Park. What an amazing place! It's there favorite spot in the park... a hidden little gem. Quiet, breezy, shaded... perfect!

Romantical.

Right after this shot, I said... "okay, now do a little nuzzling."

Taber was like, "What?!"

He had never heard that expression before, he's originally from the Dominican Republic (LOVE it). Anyway, he said... "Give me a break, English is my second language. I still don't understand the expression, you can't have your cake and eat it too. If it's your cake why can't you eat it?"
Good question, that is a dumb expression.

How about this expression?

Muy caliente!

A-ha! Nuzzling!

When I saw this wall of white flowers I was so excited. It's so ethereal.

So sweet. My fav.

No trouble being in love for these guys, although Taber admits he shys away from PDA most of the time, especially when there's a camera nearby.

How dreamy is this little path?

How about those legs?

Taber popped the question unexpectedly when Liz exclaimed impatiently one day..."We'll probably never get married!" Taber, quick on his feet grabbed the ring he had already purchased and hidden and said..."We will if you say yes!"

Ooooh, goosebumps!

T & L, It was such a blast to meet you guys in the city. We need to come back so you can show us around for the best food! Next time....

Dana and Mark in Central Park, NYC

Posted by Mariah, Photos by Trish:

This was a fitting spot to begin our shoot with Dana and Mark because this is where they got engaged! Awwwh.... Pretty impressive of Mark, rowing around the pond while composing his proposal! Talk about multi-tasking.

Luckily, Mark managed not to capsize them despite any nervousness he was probably feeling at the time.



Trish spied this "mini meadow." I love how in this photo you can see we are still in the park among the people...

But where are we in this one? Wild flower field in Alaska?

Nope! Still Central Park. It was fun to try to find special spots for each couple... I think this spot with the little blue flowers was perfect for Dana and her amazing blue eyes.

Right? Because after all, as Mark said, those blue eyes are the reason he chose her! Good thing he lucked out and she has a sweet personality too. (oh, and shampoo commercial hair too!)

Love this one.

Sweet.

I have a feeling these guys are always clowning around together. I like that, I think it's the secret to success.

Being romantical helps too.

Here's Mark hogging the attention... he says he can't help it because he's an only child. Mark- order this photo for your mother, she'll love it!

There, that's more like it.

Just over one month till the wedding! Time flies when you are just lying around!

Ooooooh. Pretty.

Mark + Dana- Thanks for being so much fun. I am disappointed that Mark wouldn't row us around the pond. I guess one overpriced, long wait in line is enough! Can't say I blame him. The wedding is going to be fabulous! xoxo Trish & Mariah
