The Proposal…
My fiancé proposed to me at a karaoke bar. It was one of the best proposals one can experience. While singing a song by Mary J Blige “Real love” What a coincidence with my song choice LOL. The TV screen went blank so while asking the attendant what happened ? She pointed to the monitor which then read ” Will you marry me”. I was so surprised I literally turn red! My fiancé then sung a song by Drake ” Best I ever had”. It was so beautiful, we also had friends in attendance which made that moment even more magical.

Inspiration for the Session…
For our engagement shoot we decided on a old Hollywood vintage shoot. The inspiration came from the both of us. We have been together for almost ten years now, and remain deeply in love. We wanted to show that romance in our engagement shoot.

Wedding Details…
We are having a catered reception at Jericho Terrace in L.I. we are expecting 300 guests. I’m that girl that always dreamed of having a big wedding, I’m excited that the groom to be also imagined that as well. Both of our schedules are pretty tight with work and school, so we hired a wedding planner to assist in the planning process and hope to relieve a lil stress lol..Thus far the challenges we face is the guest list, we wish we could invite the world but it is just not feasible at the moment. We chose a Parisian theme, I love the romance and colors it details.
