callie and niels new york city engagement shoot

Mike and I spent this past SUPER hot Sunday in the fabulous New York City photographing our June clients Callie and Niels. They are some of the most photogenic people I have photographed, and made our jobs seem like a breeze! Which was good since it was so hot and all….

We started off a their amazing apartment- which had the most incredible patio I have seen in a New York City apartment! This mural was painted specifically for them, so of course we had to start there!
