That’s the phrase when we photographers take photo’s for other folks we’ve met through the FIND Group. We are a motley collection of folks who have passionately continued to shoot film – despite it’s dwindling availability and expense. We’re a collection of folks who love the traditional sense of photography (not over photoshopped), the process, the smell!, the patience it requires, that is forces you to slow down and wait for the ‘decisive moment’. It was a wonderful day and I’m so grateful to Katie for opening her doors to me so we could capture a few moments in their Upper West Side neighborhood for some NYC lifestyle photography.

Katie Jane and I met at Jon Canlas’s FIND Workshop in Montauk and instantly hit it off. Since we met, she added to her family – these little cherubs actually got to attend Find, as well, though got prime seats still tucked away in Katie’s tummy! Our relationship has bloomed, and through the years, she’s sent many clients my way while on her maternity leave. So I thanked her the best way I know how – capturing some moments with her and her crew. Of the many many things I walked away from after FIND, the friendships are my most cherished.

I hope you enjoy the images as much as I do 🙂

xx – Sarah

I’m often in awe of the creative ways couples incorporate personal touches to make their wedding unique and 100% theirs. This chic and elegant wedding went above and beyond! Pricilla and Dan, with help from their families, designed the reception decor, the adorable table numbers all the way to the the beautiful invitations. This Rock Island Lake Club wedding was so full of heart, it truly was the day that dreams are made of while shooting for Cly By Matthew with Bo.

With a little drizzle early on, the atmosphere was lush and quiet. Not phased at all by the soggy grounds, we were able to wander the lake and vicinity and simply enjoy the moments.

A Montclair NJ First Congregational Church Wedding in the summer makes for a delightful day! With the doors flung wide open, the colorful flags adorning the church and hand-held fans for the guests, a light summer breeze coming through the windows and a fun group of people, made for the most loveliest of days. Rich and Patty were so relaxed and flexible in planning their day – that their joy simply overflowed the grand space.

Dressed with stetson’s and cowboy/girl boots, I half expected to find a fleet of horses hitched up outside when we stepped into the afternoon sun. Taking a little time for some photo’s before everyone whisked away for an evening dinner wrapped up this intimate day perfectly.

Often NYC elopements take me to NYC City Hall, Brooklyn City Hall, or a variety of locations throughout the city with a privately hired Officiant. The variety is one reason why I adore elopements – the options are endless! This Manhasset Elopement started at City Hall. Directly across from the clerks office is a gorgeous town park, complete with a beautiful gazebo! and the officiants are more than happy to pop over there for the ceremony. Which is unbelievably awesome. AND, to boot, you can schedule what time is the ceremony! I feel like discovered Anna found this wonderful little gem!

We had numerous conversations on planning the details of her wedding, and what they brought together was absolutely perfect. With their immediate family and friends in tow, they were able to make a simple, elegant and relaxed day to start their journey together.

I hope you enjoy the images!!

When Katie and I started plotting out her and Chris’s elopement wedding at the Central Park Boathouse in NYC, we were not sure at all if we’d actually be able to get into the boats. As it is with any outdoor weddings – we weren’t sure if we’d have a blue sky or pouring rain. Katie and Chris are sooooo easy going, however, I don’t think a monsoon would have deterred their having fun on their day. Sneaky suspicion tells me they probably would have had a blast with a monsoon, actually.

However, the stars aligned and the boats were wide open for us to take over a few. With a ceremony, officiated by Katie’s brother, tucked away in a quiet little nook over looking The Lake it was only fitting to meander over to the Boathouse and paddle around for the afternoon.

I’m so happy to have been a part of this day and I hope you enjoy the images!!

xx – Sarah
