a lime slice: [nyc] scenes

my recent trip to new york to shoot a gorgeous bride and groom [recently blogged here] - was a quick trip indeed. the day after, my sister [who so graciously came along to help with annie] and i brought little miss to the central park zoo - can you say crowded! and oh so hot - tea @ alice's tea cup where there was an hour and a half wait - a lovely walk through central park - and catching a 5 o'clock train back to connecticut - left no time to enjoy the city that i love. so a return visit is a must. but i do enjoy the random shots and the surprises that await you at every corner - the vibrant blue of the post no bills sign - fdny standing next to my bride as we walk to the venue - a dad blowing bubbles to amuse his son on the sidewalk caught from my cab - "look it's the eiffel tower" annie cried out at the empire state building - a bride and groom being photographed in the middle of grand central as we raced to catch our train. so much to see and so little time.

i really do heart new york.

[wedding bliss]

[pink]

annie released six pink balloons today into the blue cloudy sky. not all at once but one by one. for ava. she kissed each one before she let go and screamed with glee as the wind took each pink balloon higher and higher. she said that she hoped ava would catch each balloon in heaven and that they would make her happy.

i send my love and friendship to you sheye on this day - the day your precious girl would be six years old. she is never far from our thoughts and always in our hearts. we honor your little one. with pink balloons, and pink tutus and pink hair ribbons.

[a lime twist]

caught a glimpse of this bride and groom in grand central station on my way to catch a train. couldn't resist a snap. love the surprises that are around the corners in nyc.
