Meatpacking District Engagement | Neene & Rashad

Neene (not to be confused with Nene from the RHOA) and Rashad bid on a portrait package I donated to an MS Auction a mutual friend hosted earlier in the fall. It's a small world, what can I say? And to further my point, while browsing my website, Neene found a former coworker to narrow our few degrees of separation. 


Neene & Rashad met 5 years ago at a party and the rest, my friends, is history. They are set to wed in September 2012 and requested we meet somewhere with interesting street art for their engagement shoot. Neene, raised in Brooklyn, and Rashad, raised in Queens, felt an urban landscape would best capture their essence. Since I was already shooting at the High Line Park that morning, we agreed on the Meatpacking District, which was a first for us both. Despite the very (OK, too cool) backdrop, my favorite shot was Neene's idea of quoting LL Cool J.
