Hello from Nepal!

An amazing few days spent in india...time in Varanasi, which happened to coincide with their biggest festival of the year. Tens of thousands of people dipping themselves into the River Ganges (the Ganga)...was unlike anything id ever seen before. Amazing beyond words. Having trouble uploading images too so will include more stories with the photos when we are back.

Now we are in Nepal. So great to be back. Oh how i love this country.
We are updating a tumblr page as we are in Nepal for the next week with our organization Kids of Kathmandu.

Love to all

Suniti + Kaustubh | Love in Brooklyn

I'm going to keep this one simple and sweet because it boils down to this.

Suniti + Kaustubh have been married for 4 years. Yet they were as giddy and full of adornment for each other that i forgot half way through that this wasnt actually an engagement shoot.

And at the end, Suniti asked me quietly,
"Can you take a close-up picture of his eyes. I love his eyes."

Yes. Love.

(and the Carousel in Brooklyn is open! Giddyup!)

Ali + Jason| A New York Proposal!

When I first talked to Jason, he told me his girlfriend Ali and he talked in the past how they would love to have a photographer along with them when they were together since they always had so much fun together. So needless to say, when he asked if i would be interested in photographing his proposal to her, I was so game!

Of course, the weather called for rain most of the day! A last minute time change thanks to Jason genius-itude, literally had him popping the question as the clouds parted and the sun beamed out over the city. i could not believe it. (2 hours later it poured for the rest of the day!)

I was shaking as they approached! It was so exciting. Jason and I made eye contact and in my head, i said, "game time!" Ali noticed me but didnt think anything since we'd never met before. And voila. Documented forever. (video too!)

These 2 are such lovebirds, even before he got down on one knee, in the moments before Ali knew what was about to happen, they were so cute together.

Thank you so much for inviting me to document this super special time in your lives.
Wishing you all the best
