Lindsey and Sam decided to revisit their proposal spot in Central Park’s Conservatory Garden for their engagement shoot. I love how lush these gardens are in the Summer and you don’t have to look hard for beautiful backdrops:)
Read MoreAdventurous Elopement in Ladies Pavilion, Central Park - Caroline & Phil
Caroline and Phil met in Spain and fell in love at first sight! Phil was teaching music at an international school and had been living there for 6 years (he is from Liverpool, in the UK originally). Caroline was holidaying with a group of friends from Dublin and it was their last night on the island. It was love at first sight!:) Considering these two love travel and adventures it was an easy decision to bring the closest friends and family to NYC and have a ceremony in Central Park. Caroline and Phil made sure the day went smooth and FUN by hiring a whole squad of pedicabs and we ended up stopping by some of the iconic Central Park locations for photos after their ceremony in Ladies Pavillon. This was officially one of my most unique rides on a wedding day:)
Wishing these two more adventures exploring the world together and I really hope to return back to Dublin for a little visit and a glass of beer!

Shoko and Yuchi wanted a whole tour of some of the most iconic spots in NYC for their post-wedding honeymoon photos and we totally did it:) These two traveled all the way from Japan to catch NYC in all its Fall colorful beauty. We started in Dumbo with the skyline views and found some hidden spots along the way, walked the Brooklyn Bridge and even managed to get some shots without a crowd of people in them:) We ended our session in Central Park! The foliage and the light were absolutely stunning on this perfect November morning in New York City.
Read MoreShakespeare Garden Intimate Wedding, Central Park, New York - Jenny and Jonathan
Jenny and Jonathan got married in an intimate ceremony in a beautiful Shakespeare Garden in Central Park. To spice things up, NYC almost got a hurricane on their wedding day so we ended up taking photos with 50 mph wind gusts. When I arrived to document Jenny and Jonathan getting ready at the Wythe Hotel they told me their venue had to cancel their dinner because their venue was a boat and the wind was too crazy:) These two were real troopers and without much complaining they decided to head to a local beer garden in Brooklyn right after their ceremony. To me, their wedding day was so epic and so special I wouldn't have it any other way:)
Read MoreMagical Rainy Central Park Engagement Session - Therese and Keith
I met Therese and Keith earlier this year photographing their engagement party so I was so excited when Therese contacted me again about doing their engagement photos in Central Park. I had to convince them to do a couple of shots on a nearby rooftop which provided perfect views of the park and the skyscrapers! It was a foggy day and it drizzled throughout the session but it didn't stop us from getting some iconic Central Park shots. There is just something special about these images and Therese and Keith looked just perfect perfect together!

Read MoreOlga and Javier Central Park - Elopement Photography by Elvira Kalviste
I never really believed in online dating until I started shooting weddings. It turns out so many of my couples found their love online. Olga and Javier are no exception. These two opted for a private elopement at the New York City Hall followed by a photo session in Central Park. I love working with couples who have a vision for their wedding photos and Olga and Javier were wonderful collaborators. We took a stroll around the lake stopping by the iconic Bethesda Fountain and we found some gorgeous blossoming cherry trees. However, Olga and Javier were most excited about the lake and the row boats after seeing some of my other photos taken on the lake. Unfortunately, the boathouse was closing earlier but it didn’t stop us. The guys at the boathouse were so kind to let the newlyweds enjoy the boat ride after the closing hours and we got the shots we wanted:) Congratulations once again, Olga and Javier!
