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. 

Northport Harbor Engagement Photos | Angelo & Christine

They knew each other in high school when they were attending rival schools on Long Island. Then in college, some mutual friends reintroduced Angelo & Christine, and the rest my friends, is history. 


Angelo and Christine are one of those rare couples that can manage an awesome  relationship while not only working for the same company, but also attending the same MBA program. They have an electric chemistry and a mutual understanding that Christine is indeed the diva in the relationship. This is just the unspoken truth you too will concede to after viewing their images! 


Long Island carries special significance for this couple since they were both born and raised and schooled on the island. It is the place of their friendship which blossomed into a beautiful engagement. So without further adieu, Christine invited me to spectacular Northport Harbor on Long Island where their proposal took place earlier this summer. Christine & Angelo plan to marry nearby in early 2013.
