Just so I don’t inadvertantly embarass myself I will just throw it out there:

I am NOT a sports fan- well, let me be clear, I will go to any live sporting event- they’re fun! why not? But I don’t take the time to commit to watching a particular sport, or anything really on tv. So the playoffs? Who’s playing? What sport??
Oh, trust me I am totally serious!
Ok, so now that I got that all cleared up. So a few weeks back I went into New York to shoot my 2010 clients, Melissa and Mike’s engagement session. I was pumped! These guys were just so sweet and funny and they brought like their whole family to our first meeting and we all laughed and bonded- it was awesome! So of course I was excited to see them again for our shoot in the city.
Well, they unexpectedly got some Yankees tickets t a playoff game that night and they were excited! The moral of the story? I had no idea they were in the payoffs, or that there were any going on!
So we started where it all began: the site of where they first started dating
one of my favorites, ever
No eyes were even blinked when I asked Melissa if she could hop on up in her spiky heels! You get what I’m putting out there? She was ON IT!!
Another recipe for some Ten Eyck favorite action: regular everyday folk, just living their lives, carrying their puffy lunch boxes and sensible shoes right. through. my. shot!!!
this silver stuff? very nice. Add Miss Melissa? Even nicer!
Then Mike and his dimples? the BEST
It started to sprinkle a little so we hung under here for a spell
Who needs the real bridge?
WE DO!
nothing says New York more than yellow taxis
find a little nook and make ‘em do the cuddle
Then I like to make it look like I am spying on them- aka catching them in a natural moment.
I love this one too
ok wait. and this one too! I did tell him I wished his name was Bill. Just for then.
Then we passed this reflectiony thing and had some fun
I had to prove I was there too. You know you like my shirt. and my Boda Bag!!!
ok really really? nothing says New York like a pretzel with an engagement ring in it!!
and then? we were walking by this fountain which was cool in itself.
But I saw how cool it could really be! love love love love. OK i like this one too.
Doesn’t this look like it’s a Yankees sign? Who knows what it says but it sure looked cool
And to finish? We stopped at this cool bar called Jeremy’s- they serve you a big BIG beer in a styrofoam cup, so you better not squeeze too hard!!
Melissa and Mike, thanks so much for showing me some new spots to shoot and for being up for anything!!!
I can’t wait for your wedding!!!
XXOO
