We recently spent two weeks in New York City with our closest friends, Jerry and Georgina. We were there for the PhotoPlus Expo, but decided to tack on an extra week to our stay so we could have some fun and spend some quality time together. New York is such a great city and we always have fun while we’re there together and this time was no different. We rented an apartment right on Madison Avenue and just had a great time living as “locals”. I’ll be sure to post some more about our adventures soon, but first I wanted to post about one of our favorite couples getting married next year – Meredith and Richie!
We’ve known Meredith for a few years now and it’s actually a pretty amazing story of how we’ve gotten to know them so well. Meredith has a very close network of friends and over the past few years we’ve been able to photograph many of their weddings. We’ve photographed so many of their friends’ weddings, that it truly feels as though all of them are family to us now. So when Meredith called us at the beginning of the year to tell us that she was engaged to Richie, we felt as though one of our own best friends were getting married!
Meredith and Richie will be getting married in Providence, RI next summer (that’s where they both went to school), but they actually live in New York City. So when Rene and I were making plans to spend some time there, the first thing I did was give Meredith a call to see if they might like to have their engagement session right in their own neighborhood. They were so excited and so we made plans to meet up while we were in town.
Meredith and Richie in the very cool neighborhood of TriBeCa. Rene and I just love the entire SoHo/TriBeCa/Greenwich Village area and we knew it would be the perfect location and we literally spent all morning just walking the streets of their neighborhood during their session. It was so much fun to have Meredith and Richie point out their favorite restaurants, their favorite bar, and even the route they take to work every day. We had such an amazing time together and had a fabulous session on top of it all:
I love this next image… Richie just wouldn’t tell us what he said to Meredith at this very moment, but whatever it was still makes me laugh whenever I see this image.
We stopped over at one of their favorite restaurants, which just happened to be on a cobblestone street, with a fabulous Vespa out front. All of the elements coming together perfectly for a couple that deserves nothing but the best…
These guys are so fabulous to photograph – you get the sense that they would be just as comfortable hanging out with you in the local pub or as the models on the pages of a magazine. Just wait until you see what kind of magic the four of us create together at their wedding in July!
