Last weekend, I flew up to New York City for Emily + Jon’s engagement session.  This was a very special session for me because I’ve known Emily for over 4 years now.  I first met her when her brother Brendan married Francesca back in 2014.  Emily was a bridesmaid in that wedding and she also happens to be best friends with Francesca’s sister, Nola, whose engagement session I photographed in NYC back in 2014 as well.  I feel like I’m part of the extended Whalen-Seta family now, so I was THRILLED when Emily asked me to photograph her wedding next fall!

I absolutely LOVE traveling so when Emily + Jon suggested doing their engagement session in their hometown of NYC, it was an immediate YES!!!  Together, they chose some amazing spots around the city, including the Conservatory Garden, the Bethesda Terrace area in Central, the steps of The Met, and some cute residential areas on the Upper East Side.  Although there was a light rain all day, the weather was actually great.  The light was PERFECT and the rain allowed us to grab some INCREDIBLE photos on the steps of The Met since no one was really sitting on the wet steps.  THANK YOU Mother Nature!!

I cannot wait for Emily + Jon’s wedding next year in St. Augustine, but for now, please enjoy some of my favorites from their fabulous engagement session in New York City…
