Noel & Ben: An Engagement Session

posted in Engagements

Sunday May 17, 2009

On Saturday morning, I met up with Noel and Ben at the Skylands Manor and Botanical Garden in Ringwood, NJ. As I was leaving my apartment, I noticed that it was quite foggy out. I didn’t think much of it, matter of fact, I was kind of excited about doing some really dramatic shots in the fog with some off camera lighting. When I arrived at the manor and started pulling out my gear, I noticed a rain drop appear on the window of my cars rear hatch, then another, and another… within minutes, torrential downpour…. oh boy! Noel and Ben were sitting in their car wondering what the heck we were going to do! And just as quickly as it started, it stopped raining. But now, the ground was wet, muddy, and overall just downright icky feeling… but not to worry! Noel and Ben are the two toughest troopers around and we weren’t about to let a few puddles and mud get in our way. I had an absolute blast with these two. Here’s a few of my favorites from that day.

Noel and Ben,

Thanks for being so great about running around in the wet grass and mud! I can’t wait to shoot your wedding in July. =)

Julianna and Bou: An engagement session

posted in Engagements

Sunday May 3, 2009

I met Julianna and Bou at the Vanderbilt Mansion in Hyde Park, NY. When I first met them a few months ago, I knew right off the bat that these two would be a blast to hang out with. I was definitely not dissapointed. Although a bit unsure as to what to do with themselves at first….

… They soon let down their guard.

How do you know when your gonna have an awesome engagement session???

When your couple decides to do a booty shake in front of the camera THATS HOW!

These two warmed up rather quickly…

Bou’s Abercrombie model pose.

Piggy back rides rule!

The Bride to be.

The Groom to be.

Red Brick? Yeah it’s pretty awesome like that…

Towards the end of the session, Bou and I thought it would be awesome to go take some pictures near the “waterfall’s”. Turned out to be one heck of a hike… and Julianna was such a trooper walking on those slippery rocks in her sandals.  I really can’t complain about my wet socks after seeing her tough it out.  =)

Julianna and Bou,

Thanks for coming all the way down from Albany to do this session. You two are so much fun to hang out with! I can’t wait till your wedding day in June! See you both again soon.

  • Autumn: Awesome session, Jaymie! I love the one with the three archways. I'm shooting at Vanderbilt soon too! =) Can't wait to check it out - I wish it wouldn't rain when I actually have time to scout it out! Maybe tomorrow... (05.03.2009 05:10pm)
  • J. Castro Photography: Thanks Autumn! This was actually my first session there. Hopefully the weather holds up for you. =) (05.03.2009 05:26pm)
  • BouJeloud: well one recommendation autumn is to bring good shoes to hike in if you plan to go to the falls. 3" wedge shoes and slippery rocks not so much fun. Thanks again Jaymie we had a blast and Julianna is sooo happy with how they turned out. (05.04.2009 09:47am)
