Bailey and John were the winners of a giveaway on Instagram I held for an engagement or anniversary session in New York City, and once we connected I KNEW that we were going to become friends. We spent weeks planning an epic shoot all over Manhattan, and when the day arrived we were completely surprised by SNOW!

Being a native San Diegan, I’ve never seen snow fall before, so seeing it fall for this first time in New York City while doing what I love with an amazing couple was something I’ll never forget. We started at the Top of the Rock, and while we were hoping to get an epic view of the city, the snow caused a white out since we were so high up! Bailey and John still rocked that part of the shoot, going out in the FREEEEZING cold snow to dance and cuddle while I snapped their photos (we only spent about 1 minute out there because it was so cold)!

Next, we went to Grand Central Station! We had a super specific photo in mind that we wanted to capture (the one in Grand Central Station where everyone around them is blurry in motion, and they’re standing still), and we did it! We spent some more time getting some dancing pictures and maneuvering through the crowds, and ended right around the time the station started to get packed with people.

I am so lucky to be able to capture such special moments with the most incredible couples in the most beautiful locations around the world. New York, I’ll be back so soon!
