Remember that show on VHI “Best Week Ever”? I’m definitely having one of those, and it’s only Monday! Yesterday I hopped on a train to head up to New York City for Mike & Kristin’s engagement session, and from the first frame (no really- the very first shutter click!) it was incredible. I’m bursting at the seams to get home and get these images edited- I have a feeling their’s will be one looooong blog post.

In other news, I learned how to hail a cab! I had to ask a native New Yorker how to do it first so that I didn’t look like an idiot, but after a quick tutorial, I successfully hailed FOUR cabs throughout the course of yesterday afternoon. I’m on fiyah.

As always, lessons learned/events that transpired over the weekend:

• Taking the train is surprisingly more enjoyable than driving to the city. I called my uncle who lives in Brooklyn to ask about the best way to get here, and he assured me that if I get anxiety driving in DC, it PROBABLY wasn’t a good idea to attempt to navigate the streets of New York. Troof.
• Proof that I have the best couples ever- after spending nearly seven hours with Mike & Kristin last night, we’re going to FAO Schwartz this morning because last night I said I’d never been. Yessss.
• Riding in a New York City cab- well, I’m thankful to be alive today, that’s for sure.
• Alright, how many people live in the Big Apple?? Approximately one jillion? Then HOW do I keep running into people I recognize every time I’m here? The first time, I saw my great Aunt & Uncle, who live in Charlottesville, VA. The second time, I met Kenny Kim, Chicago wedding photographer extraordinaire. And yesterday, I recognized Matt & Clare from my friend Katelyn’s blog- I felt like such a creep.
• This city is amazing, plain and simple. I want to shoot here again and again and again!

See?? Amazing!

Sigh. I’m in heaven here. Happy Monday, friends!
