“Stop being so stiff,” Billy says to me in the car, “just relax.” This part of the shoot is after the wine had kicked in!

While I was in NYC a few days ago for the Photo+ Trade show, I was able to meet up with Wendy and Billy, who were married in September of ‘06 at the Ausable Club in the heart of the Adirondacks. So we met in the Madison Square park and shot under these weirdish silver coated sculptures, with the empire state building in the background.

And played around in the park…

If you’re out on an engagement shoot and are having your photographer showoff your mountain bike skills - but - you’re more of a downhiller type - then consider hiring Neil as your photographer cause he can teach you wheelies on the spot so that you can get the trick look as well as the speed look.

It also helps if your Fi is watching so she doesn’t get so bored…

I seem to always do crazy stuff in the fall for engagement photos.

Chris and Sheila have such a fun dynamic in their relationship! They are VERY playful and flirtatious, add a dash of swooning romance, and picture-making becomes easy! (BTW, if you see ANY images where Chris looks serious, there is a 99% chance that he is looking that way to be silly).

We started at sunrise at Woodcliff lodge, and these two crazy kooks were even willing to sit in freezing soaking wet grass for me! Rock on!
