Nisha & Todd's Engagement

Todd emailed me Monday night and said he was planning to propose to Miss Nisha on Tuesday and wanted to see if I was in town and free to capture it.

I think my favorite thing in the world to do is to capture a proposal. It is always such a fun, emotionally-charged, happy event.

Todd had planned to do it on the rooftop of the NoMad hotel. They had lunch reservations downstairs and had worked it out with the host (who apparently is the worst actor ever) who was "in on it" and told them their table wasn't ready yet but they were welcome to go upstairs to check out the rooftop where champagne and flowers had been set up.


Semi-funny story. I got there about a half hour early when the helpers were setting everything up. And it was windy so the flower vase kept blowing over and the roses and water would spill and scatter EVERYWHERE.

This happened like three times. We even tried to duct tape the vase to the table to no avail.

So I had to keep texting Todd to see where he was and as they were about to come up from the lobby I alerted the little helper lady and she ran out and set up the flowers and said a little prayer and then scurried away and we crossed our fingers that the vase wouldn't blow over again while Todd was doing his thing.

It worked out.



Nisha reacted the way I just love all my brides-to-be to react.


It was soy cute.







My fave is her reaction when I came out from my hiding spot and she finally noticed me.


Love when people are happy to see me!




I wish I could have captured the whole thing from this angle...but there was nowhere to hide. Maybe it's time to invest in a rock or bush costume.



We popped some champagnes...



They were so cute...





Congratulations Todd & Nishi!!!



In case you're wondering where I was hiding, it was in this little window where I almost died.


Yay! Cannot wait for their DK Wedding!

Smileyjohn's Engagement!!!!!

Smileyjohn got engaged to DannySmith2** last night after the wedding we were all at (I was shooting).

A little irritated that he didn't tell me to shoot the secret proposal that happened on the grounds of CalTech (where our wedding was and where they first met)...but glad I at least saw them immediately after and was able to catch this pic...


So happy for you guys!!!

** - not to be confused with DannySmith1

Another Xmas Engagement!

Annie and Eric weren't the only ones to get engaged this last week.

DannyHong & Tevia did as well!



In Mexico!



I met up with Danny last Thursday night and he told me what he was about to do when he went to see her and her family in Mexico this past weekend.

He also wanted to book me for their wedding on November 3.

Yep. Danny booked his venue AND his photographer BEFORE he even proposed.

And lucky he did...because literally at 9am the next morning someone else tried to book me for November 3!



Danny knew he wanted an iconic NYC venue (I won't reveal it in case she doesn't know yet) that his kids could walk by and could say, "that's where mommy and daddy got married!" Isn't that SO cute? I think so.

So yes, if you go back and look at November 3rd on my insane wedding schedule blog post, you'll see that "Top Secret Wedding" is now "Danny & Tevia's Wedding".

WOOOO!!!

P.S. Sorry to all the single but boyfriended ladies and gays who are anxiously wondering what the "Top Secret Engagement Mission" is on January 7th. Think of it as the lottery. Maybe you'll win...but you probably won't!

Xmas Engagement!!!

Congrats to Annie and Eric who got engaged over the holiday!







So happy for you guys!!!

And yes, Annie looked fierce in the Vegas Partywig...but Jesse brought it to a whole other level.



Vegas post coming soon!

NYC layover / Mellis Engagement Party

So I came back to NYC for a 4-day layover from Hawaii to do a bunch of actor photoshoots (7 total!) and to attend Melanie and Willis's engagement party at the Standard Beer Garden.

Melanie's friends all just happen to have awesome hair and GIANT engagement rings...



But Mel's ring kind of just makes everyone else's look silly.



Good work Willis! Hook me up with some of these sure-to-be-fabulous weddings!



Yum lots of beers and sausages.



And sister-in-law Megoon just got a promotion at Comedy Central. She's now a boss!



Congratulations Goon!

OK I have to finish packing. Off to Singapore in the morning!

Spring Island Engagement

Jumping on my flight to LA!

But yesterday on our last afternoon on Spring Island, after we finished our marathon fashion shoot, I took Peter and Michelle out for a quick engagement session (since I'll be shooting their wedding in September)...and I took what I think is probably the most beautiful picture I have ever taken in my life.



I love these guys! I love Spring Island! (I do not love spiders and tickbites.)



OK see you in LA!
