Alissa and Jason are friends of mine; some of the best subjects to photograph, truthfully. This weekend we set out to take some photos in honor of their engagment earlier this year. The wedding will be in 2012. We decided upon South Street Seaport as the backdrop to our session because the location had significance to both Alissa and Jason. I was excited to work with them here because it’s also one of my favorite places. A few fond memories of my childhood bring me here. And although it’s now a much different place, it’s nice to still be able to form warm memories to the Seaport.

I always wanted to try one of these multi-exposure shots with a couple. I managed to pull it off without a tripod.

Even though it was a cloudy grey day, using an off camera strobe makes it look like the sun is out, doesn't it?

Jason hoisted Alissa up onto his shoulder and I took a round of shots against this cool tiled background.

They're both graphic artists and I thought this shot of them in a comic book store was fitting.

This was Jason's setup, expressing the idea of non-intimacy/intimacy btwn couples
