Brooklyn Bridge Engagement Session - Brooklyn, New York

2020.

Aren’t we all tired of talking about it and all that it’s entailed? I’ve been getting weary of the same conversations. Over and over and over. So, I’ve been trying to do my very best to re-route conversations from negativity to seeing some of the good that’s come of this year. Even if it’s just a crumb-sized amount of positivity. I’ll take it!

So, on that note… guess what 2020 brought my way that was both unexpected and simultaneously (super) fun?!

I couldn’t work in Hawai’i for months and months and months because of COVID, BUT, I was on the East Coast visiting family and could photograph my pal’s engagement photos. I couldn’t have done that if I wasn’t on the East Coast, y’all! So, thanks 2020 for bringing that my way!

Esther, Israel and I connected through the missions organization that I was a part of years ago and I was SO VERY BERRY EXCITED when they asked if I would be open to shooting their photos in Brooklyn, where they live! It was sweet. It was romantic. It was sticky with humidity. But, zero complaints overrrr here, folks!

As you look through their engagement photos, I triple dog dare you to give some mental space to this…

Good has and will come from this year. It’s not all bad. There is still Love.

P.S. If you scroll all the way to the bottom of this post, there is a bonus story!

***BONUS STORY:

Israel is so romantic. Get this…he brought little notes that he wrote to Esther and gave them to her multiple times throughout the shoot. I’m not crying - you are!
