From a snowy blizzard day at one park to a sunny and warm day at another park here in New York City, it was quite a change in scenery.  We started the first part of the engagement session down by the meat packing district at High Line Park.  As the forecast predicted, we should be expecting a huge snow storm starting in the afternoon.  The weather delivered exactly that, of course, but did not stop us from going through with the shoot anyway.  Shooting while it snowed definitely adds warmth to all the photos.  I can see how Bryan held Dinh closer and tighter as the temperatures dropped.  This was definitely a fun experience for all of us, but the snow started falling much quicker and I was forced to end our shoot earlier.  Another key lesson learned - snow within pictures adds an excellent wintry touch, but damp people and equipment leads to a slew of other things.

We rescheduled for a future date and decided to shoot the next engagement session at Central Park.  The day started with a great brunch in the Upper East Side.  Once we were full and energized, we started venturing through the Park to find prime locations for pictures.  Finally, we finished our photo shoot at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  Thanks to Dinh and Bryan, I was able to visit the Met again after so many years.  This is why I love my job! Not only do we get to hang out with our clients and spend a fun day exploring the city, we get to revisit places we haven't been to in a long time!  We zipped through several of the exhibits, snapped away, and even brushed up on some of our history knowledge. 

A special thanks to Bryan and Dinh for being such a great sport!  We appreciate all your help and look forward to your wedding in March.
