This was my first time shooting an event at a house, so I didn’t know what to expect when I showed up for Christine and David’s engagement party.  Also, I usually talk to or meet with all my couples before an event, however I didn’t meet Christina and Dave until this day.  The engagement party was held at Susan and Richard Graver’s lovely home (Susan is a clothing designer exclusively for QVC – you should check out her website here) and their friends and family were extremely nice and welcoming so it was such a joy capturing a special time in their lives.

Susan & Richard – thanks for welcoming us into your lovely home.  It was an honor to have shared this day with you and all your loved ones.

I would like to thank my friend Carlos for introducing me to such an amazing family.

When I met Ron over the phone, I could already feel how excited he was to throw this event for his daughter Lexi.  During the ceremony it was great to see how proud Ron (dad) and Emily (mom) were to watch such a special moment unfold.  As for the reception, Ron wanted me to capture everyone having fun.  I’m happy to say that these folks made that part of my job easy.  Everyone was great and even though it was raining outside, the party was bumping inside.  This was my first Bat Mitzvah that I’ve ever been to and it was pretty epic.  The kids were crazy and never ran out of energy!  I loved it!  It was just a good time to let loose and enjoy the party.
