Engagement: Alyssa + Fred | Gantry Plaza State Park, Long Island City

I just love being back shooting.  Even in the rain. I had plans to meet up with Alyssa and Fred at Gantry Park (such a cool spot), but on my way in, it was really dark and starting to rain.  I almost turned around because there is no cover at the park at all, but since everyone already had the day off of work, we decided to make a go of it.  And, if you can believe it, as I pulled up, my darksky app told me that we would have a solid hour rain-free!  What??  It was still cold, and sort of damp and dark, but it was not raining and that was good enough. One dog, a cute couple, and an awesome hat later, we were golden and the proof is below.  LOVE these shots. Can't wait to shoot more of these two this fall!

(little UPLIFT history - I shot another engagement session here a few years ago, and we walked over to 5Pointz for some more images (scroll to the bottom of the post).  5Pointz has since been demolished (so sad), but pretty crazy and amazing to have captured some images there.)

Engagement: Kelly + Tom | Gantry Plaza State Park, Long Island City, NY

Ok, I'm not going to shout about this ridiculously awesome location, I'm just going to say it quietly and hope you all don't notice so I can shoot there more often.  Kelly really found such an awesome spot - Gantry Plaza State Park - and since I'm giving away this huge secret, you are definitely on your own trying to find the entrance because it is sort of hidden :).  Have fun!  Kelly and Tom are awesome - game for anything, including some drizzle and walking to another super cool spot (what is there to say about the amazing graffitti art?!).  I'm so glad we did this session and I'm psyched for their 2013 summer wedding!  I am really hitting the jackpot with my clients, 2013 is lining up to be awesome!

Happy Friday everyone!
