Fun fact: Maria and Stevens first born is their oh so cute dog Jack. Isn’t the case for most of us dog lovers!!!
Well this was just a fun day. What a treat. Maria and Steven live in Brooklyn. And just wanted to walk around to some of their favorite spots in their neighborhood. An added bonus on this particular day was that a friend of mine, Elizabeth Russell was in town from Portland Oregon. Elizabeth shoots under water photography. One of these days when the stars align I will have a couple that is game to jump into a pool with their wedding entire on and Elizabeth will be on one of her underwater portrait tours and in my neck of the woods. Having Elizabeth there was nice she was able to help me out with the shoot but most importantly we got to hang out and really see Brooklyn together. We did have two fantastic tour guides.. (Three tour guides counting Jack!)
One of the highlights of this shoot was going to this fantastic Cuban restaurant close to where Steven and Maria live. Walking to the restaurant, Brooklyn looked like Brooklyn. Brown buildings, paved roads, unique people, until we rounded a corner and you heard the music. As you rounded the corner you were blasted with color, which hit you like a ton of bricks. I just thought it was the coolest little neighborhood restaurant I had ever seen. Maria and Steven ordered frozen Mojito’s, they looked so good and frosty. They are one of those couples that you can just hang out with. If I didn’t have another shoot that day I think we all would have just hung out, took pictures, and had a few drinks together. Next time!!!
As for their wedding it will be taking place in Connecticut at the Cobbs Mill Inn. I am very excited to photograph the two of them on their wedding day. Stay tuned!!
Jack.
I wish I looked this good with my husband and dog.
This pictures makes me laugh out loud.
Maria found this wall. She’s got an eye for this!
