What Happens in Cancun Stays in Cancun | Tiffany & Ly

May 25, 2009

Attention ladies and gentlemen (drum rolls),

It is my absolute pleasure to finally announce that Tiffany and Ly has finally tied the knot. And out of all places, these New Yorkers picked my favorite location – CANCUN, Mexico! For those who do not know who these two are, they are my favorite couple from New York. The links below are their engagement photographs during my stay in Manhattan, New York:

SOHO, Manhattan
Meat Packing District

Their wedding was hosted at Casa Magna Marriott in Cancun. That hotel was immaculate and the food / service were to stellar! Tiffany and Ly had an outside wedding along the beach overlooking the turquoise ocean. Check it out!

This was my favorite wedding photo of the day! It is always a touching part of the wedding when a parent walks their daughter down the aisle.

Crossing the Bridge in NY | Ann & Arun

October 23, 2008

Hello,

I finally found some time to post my third and final engagement session from my last trip to New York City. The other two engagement sessions before Ann and Arun were Tiffany and Ly and Gina and Harvey. Ann and Arun preferred a more quiet engagement session – especially that of New York traffic. We ended up at the neighborhood in Brooklyn where “The Cosby Show” was supposed to replicate. This part of Brooklyn was an amazing place that gave a feel of suburban lifestyle.

We couldn’t help ourselves when we saw these steps!

I found this to be a timeless portrait =)

We snapped away during our walk towards DUMBO (Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass). Apparently, it is a famous location where Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan Bridge meet.

Thank you Ann and Arun for the tour of Brooklyn. I will definitely revisit that place on my next trip to New York City, which actually might be next month!

Cat Walking through SoHo | Gina & Harvey

October 14, 2008

Hello,

Thank you Tiffany and Ly for introducing Harvey and Gina to us! These two spirited investment bankers met while at work a couple of months ago. Gina is aspiring to be a model [and Harvey is conveniently handsome], so she dragged Harvey to take pictures with her. I think the black and whites came out stunningly (see below)!

It was a chilly afternoon, which is why we all went to a random bar to get drinks. This gave us the impression that we were not cold – haha. Anyway, please enjoy!

This is Harvey!

Back to NYC! | Tiffany & Ly

October 14, 2008

Hi peeps,

Remember Tiffany and Ly? In case you do not, we photographed them a while ago also in New York City (SOHO). Since Harvey and Gina (Tiffany and Ly’s friends) graced us with the opportunity to photograph their engagement/fashion session, Tiffany and Ly asked me to photograph them as well, which is always a pleasant opportunity because they are such nice people.

After shooting a wedding on Saturday, I took the red eye flight to New York to get ready for this session on Sunday. Anyway, we photographed most of our session at the “Meat Packing District,” which is now converted into a trendy neighborhood. The Meat Packing District was heavily used for “Sex and the City” television show. New Yorkers should know where this is – awesome location!

Some inspiration never hurt! O_o

We tried with picking Tiffany up…

That is one smoking bike! I never quite understood the reason for all of the noise for Harleys, but people dig it.

Overall, it is always an adventure with Tiffany and Ly. I love them and I love New York. I cannot wait until I can go back.

Modern Rome! Engagement | Tiffany & Ly

August 25, 2008

Good morning!

Two weeks ago, Doug and I went to New York City to photograph a lovely couple – Tiffany and Ly. Their wedding will be held in Cancun, Mexico next year! We started our session in Central Park where they wanted more romantic pictures. Afterwards, Tiffany and Ly wanted some edgier pictures in the urban Manhattan, New York.

Central Park and Manhattan were full of photography opportunities! We really didn’t have to even to think of cool places to shoot. Turn the corner and there would be another spot! 🙂

When we were leaving Central Park, we ran into a really good singer. We asked Tiffany and Ly if they would like to dance for a few minutes.

New York Metro Subway

Once exiting the subway in SOHO (New York City), we saw a discarded office chair on the sidewalk. Doug and I looked at each other and grinned. 🙂 Making sure that it was safe to sit on, we planted the office chair in the middle of the busy sidewalk. We asked Tiffany and Ly to hold still while we dragged the shutter so that the pedestrians will have a nice motion blur.

The following image is one of our favorites! We couldn’t have left NYC without taking a high fashion picture with the urban grunge of New York City (SOHO). We absolutely love the cobble stone street and the various colors in the background. If you look at the bottom left corner, there were a number of cooks and servers loitering outside because they were on break. We used them in the following picture!

The staff was a little shy at first, but after much encouraging, we got them to line up for a picture. It was well worth it!

Good bye New York! We always <3 it there. Our cousins and many friends (including Parris Whittingham - a photographer) reside in that area. I will make a post on our random adventures with Parris and our dear cousins in another post. Thank you Tiffany and Ly for being such graceful subjects! We look forward to working with you in Cancun (Mexico) next year!!! Cheers, Lawrence - Contact Me!

P.S. Tiffany – Doug still remembers that you will hook him up with a girlfriend ;D
