When choosing a spot for an engagement session, you can’t get better than the Planting Fields Arboretum in Oyster Bay. There are endless beautiful spots to shoot dreamy portraits, and it looks gorgeous in every season (check out a summertime Planting Fields engagement shoot here!). For Phil + Nicole’s engagement shoot, we took advantage of the adorable pink cottage, the blooming flower bushes, the wide-open fields, and more.

Then through mutual friends we got to celebrate weddings together, showers and bachelorettes- so this day was something I…

Engagement
Carolyn + Kevin | Pellegrini Vineyards, Cutchogue
As a wedding photographer, iffy weather definitely can throw us for some loops. While rain on your wedding day or engagement shoot isn’t the worst thing that can happen – I’ll still capture GORGEOUS shots, and you’re still marrying your soulmate, after all – I definitely understand that it can be nerve-racking if rain is in the…

Miki + John | Maternity | North Fork Farm
If you’ve ever driven on the North Fork, you’ve noticed the beautiful farmland. This is one of the reasons I love the east end and the North Fork! Instead of strip malls and Starbucks, you get wide open spaces of blue sky and green grass, dotted with farmhouses and pickup trucks.
