It’s never too late to create your wedding albums! Weddings are magical but can be all-consuming, and it’s completely okay if you didn’t get to designing your album right away. We’re currently working on Debjani and Sandeep’s wedding albums—a whole decade later! It’s been an incredible journey to be a part of their story, from capturing their engagement and wedding day to photographing their maternity session and their growing family. ⁠
Now, we're adding the finishing touches to their beautiful hand-crafted albums by — one book for them and three for their families. (Albums truly make the best gifts!) I can’t wait to deliver them and let them relive all those precious memories! 💍✨ xo⁠

It's so easy to let the weeks go by without taking professional photos! I had photos taken of my belly and our little family when my baby was 32 weeks gestation. I love those shots: https://karenwise.com/park-slope-maternity-sessions/

Capturing Precious Moments: Park Slope Maternity Sessions

Park Slope, Brooklyn, is a picturesque neighborhood known for its tree-lined streets, historic brownstones, and vibrant community. It’s also a perfect backdrop for one of life’s most special moments: maternity photography.

Cherry Blossom Season🌸

In case you were wondering, Pantone's color of the year is Peach Fuzz! ⁠
⁠
You may have already heard about this trend from your floral designer, stationery designer or event planner, and it may or may not be relevant to you, but I love color photography, so I'm intrigued! ⁠
⁠
From the moment I learned how to print in a color darkroom or how to enhance a color image digitally, the trueness of color has been important to me. Kodak Portra has always been my favorite film to use; it's so natural and soft.⁠
⁠
Peach-colored flowers and makeup have always been a fave. In fact, I wore peach-colored blush and lipstick on my own wedding day. I love these images above for their subject matter but also their vibrant and bold peachy hues. ⁠

I look forward to hearing from you!⁠

Be my Valentine ♥️⁠
⁠
✨ Captivated by sheer elegance! 🌹Red happens to be my preferred hue. I chose a red wedding gown for my own wedding and frequently adorn my nails with a crimson shade🩸
At Nandini and Karan’s Bharat (wedding reception) the bride wore red as red signifies new starts, ardor, and affluence. It also represents the deity Durga, an embodiment of new beginnings and female strength.⁠
⁠
This stunning red wedding dress, meticulously beaded and masterfully designed by Zara Umrigar, is an absolute favorite of mine. Congratulations Nandini and Karan on a stunning wedding celebration!⁠ ✨

Red Hot ♥️❤️⁠
⁠
Love is in the air! ❤️ Nandini wore a stunner of a gown by designer Zara Umrigar - a bold red wedding dress that was as fierce as it was elegant. 💃 ⁠
⁠
Enjoy the RED🩸 and Happy Valentine's Day! ✨⁠

There is nothing like an intimate City Hall ceremony, followed by a cozy welcome dinner at La Bergamote, succeeded by a lively Chelsea Glasshouse wedding reception with 360 views of the city. Benoit and Torsten celebrated for two days along with their kids, families and friends.

I was delighted to photograph Torsten and Benoit’s intimate wedding in Manhattan last month. It was evident that the love between the two of them and the bond with their families were incredibly strong.⁠
Torsten and Benoit had a lovely NYC City Hall ceremony which included not only their son and daughter, but also their immediate families and best friends as their witnesses. ⁠
They continued on to for a welcome dinner before a reception the next evening at Chelsea Glasshouses.⁠
Check out their party in the posts that follow!⁠
