Annie and Arjun are high school sweet hearts. Annie works in Art and Arjun in Finance. They live and work in Manhattan and chose the beautiful outdoors of Metropolitan Museum or Art and the surroundings of Bethesda Terrace and fountain in Central Park for their winter engagement photos.
It was a pleasure getting to know them both and documenting their beautiful love story.
Colin and Deena got engaged in the Central Park overlooking the Bow Bridge in winter. They live in Upper West Side and always wanted a summer Engagement Photos. I had the pleasure of documenting their proposal and again their Engagement session over the summer. They chose the iconic Lincoln Center couple of minutes away from their home in UWS for the photos.

Michael and Christina’s love story began in 2013 in Tufts University where they both went for College. 5 years later, I had the pleasure of documenting their beautiful wedding in Lounsbury House, a 1896 national historic site located in Ridgefield, CT. The venue was one of the coziest places I have ever photographed in. It complemented the couple’s beautiful romance and their vision of a classic wedding with modern twist. Christina looked stunning in her Morilee ruffled gown and Michael looked dashing in his black Tuxedo by Ike Behar. They had a beautiful garden ceremony with approximately 100 of their closest family and friends in attendance and there wasn’t a shortage of teary eyes when the couple shared hand written wedding vows to each other.

I love a Historic Venue with a lot of character, charm and story to tell. Historic Strawberry Mansion in Philadelphia was just that and more. This wedding was a coming together of some amazing vendors in the industry who brought the vision and creativity of Heather Benge Events into life. For as much as I am used to shooting pastel toned weddings, the explosion of colors via the gorgeous florals on this particular event made me fall in love with colors all over again.
