Katrina & Michael's Engagement Session

We're really quite excited to be shooting Katrina & Michael's wedding in October - not only are they extremely photogenic and fun to be around, but we shot Michael's sister Rachel's wedding about 9 years ago. In fact that was one of our first professional wedding shoots and to this day we owe a huge thank you to Rachel for putting so much trust in us and helping us on our road to success!

Michael proposed to Katrina at Robert Moses beach on Long Island's south shore and so we made the trip down there a couple of weeks ago to shoot this engagement session.



I couldn't resist shooting a portrait of Katrina on the beach!
