As I walked down a crowded street I’ve walked down a dozen times, a couple standing on the corner immediately caught my attention.  Laughing and lost in love, I found myself smiling at them.  I liked them instantly without knowing anything about them.  In a city that’s constantly in motion, this pair stood still and held each other’s gaze as if nothing could have been more important.  And, that, to me, is Julie and Adam.  They look at each other, quite simply, like nothing else is more important.  Their love is visible and treasured and when I realized that they were the couple I was in awe of standing on the street corner coming in to meet me for the first time, I was overjoyed and knew I was going to love working with them. And I do.  I absolutely heart Julie and Adam.

Julie and Adam wear a smile everywhere they go, and are filled with an incredible warmth and joy.  They have such a sweet and genuine love and adoration for one another and it makes everyone around them smile. There is no pretense whatsoever about their relationship.  It just is. They just are.  And, I feel so lucky to have such amazing people as clients.  And, P.S, they’re absolute stunners as well.  Bea-u-tiful.

When Julie & Adam told me they wanted to do a part city/part country engagement session, I was thrilled!  Though, I must admit, Internet, I’ve never really been to the country…or a barn, or farm, or anything remotely like it, I’m afraid.  So when I saw it, I was blown away.  As we walked along, I gasped, “Oh my gosh, a COW!”  “Look! A HORSE!”  I know, you’re probably all rolling your eyes at me now, but, Julie and Adam just laughed and made me feel right at home.  They are the sweetest pair and I had the best time getting to know them amongst the different backdrops of New York City and the countryside of Newton, New Jersey.  It was a perfect day with perfect clients and I am so honored and excited to capture their wedding day in August.  I know their day is going to be filled with more love and laughter than most experience in a lifetime and I can’t wait to capture it all.

Thanks so much, Julie and Adam!  I’m so looking forward to your special day!
