Kevin and Andrea’s Fort Tryon Engagement Session

kimberlyhurst — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 13:21:49 +0000

Kevin and Andrea were married last month (no worries, their wedding photographs will follow soon!) and it wasn’t until I was actively shooting their wedding that I found out that Andrea was my cousin’s prom date! They went as friends, but this blew my mind! I love how small the world can be at times.

Brad and Gina’s Central Park Engagement Session

I’ve been having a little love affair with black and white images as of late. So, you might see a few more than normal from here on out. What is it about a black and white photograph that makes my heart sing lately? I can’t put my finger on it. Maybe it’s the utter tradition of it. Maybe it’s the way that stripping an image of the distraction of color makes you focus on the subject that much more. Maybe it’s just lovely and timeless and romantic and yummy.

Here are some of my favorite images from Gina and Brad’s engagement session. Ladies (and gentlemen), can we just take a moment to admire Gina’s choice of shoes?

Lindsey and Dave’s Freeport Engagement Session

Whoa. Lindsey and Dave’s engagement session was ca-razy! They live really close to my house, so I hop in my car to meet up with them and the sun is SHINING! I thought to myself “Awesome! There should be some gorgeous light to work with!” And about 4 minutes later, I pull up to their house and the sun is starting to disappear…”weird” I thought, “we better hurray it looks like rain!”

We did a few photos outside their home and by the time we packed into the car to head to a local spot with some green, it was downpouring! We decided to jump out of our cars for a few shots because the rain was causing this gorgeous steam to rise up from the asphalt.

So, the first few photos were shot on one day, and the last few shots were from another day where we rescheduled…and I made sure to bring plenty of sunshine!

Valerie and Tim are crazy awesome and I cannot wait to photograph them getting married. That simple.

Emily and Ryan’s Engagement Session

Yup. Another blog hiatus. All I can say is that sometimes life gets in the way of blogging on the regular! But there’s still lots and lots of photos to share and I’m going to start off with Emily and Ryan’s engagement session! Enjoy!

Sarah and Dan Engagement at Stonybrook University

Here are a few of my favorites from Sarah and Dan’s engagement session at Stonybrook. Sarah and Dan are actually married now! They were my first couple of 2011 and their wedding images will follow soon enough. For now, enjoy the cuteness of their engagement session!

Oh, the High Line. Love you, despite how insanely crowded you are now.

Nawal and Jon’s Puerto Rico Wedding

kimberlyhurst — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 13:15:01 +0000

My assistant Candice and I had such fun shooting Nawal and Jon’s wedding in Puerto Rico back in August! When Nawal and Jon booked me, I wasn’t even thinking about having a baby so I was so EXCITED to shoot in Puerto Rico and had all these plans to stay a few extra days after the wedding so Kyle and I could have a fun vacation in the middle of wedding season. Well, soon enough after they booked me, Kyle and I found out I was expecting! So, those fun vacation plans became a very quick trip for me (aka no vacation). I flew in and out of Puerto Rico so fast, to get back home to my 4 month old baby, your head could have spun!

But irregardless of my travel plans, I had the most amazing time spending the weekend with Nawal and Jon in Puerto Rico! Candice and I flew in to San Juan and drove down to Ponce to meet up with Nawal and Jon on Friday evening. We did a second engagement session around downtown Ponce that night and here are just a few of the shots:

And then of course, was the wedding day! Nawal got ready at the Ponce Hilton. And the wedding and reception were then held at the Castillo Serralles, which is this amazing home/castle at the top of this hill, overlooking all of Ponce. Simply breathtaking!

Jon’s family is Puerto Rican and Nawal’s family is Persian. To say the reception was a party, is a complete understatement.

Nawal, Jon….congratulations!

Kim and Jason’s Engagement

kimberlyhurst — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 11:28:48 +0000

I feel like a blogging champion lately! It’s great to be back in the driver’s seat and sharing all the sessions I’ve been busy shooting over here at Kimberly Hurst Photography. I’ve got a family session, a baby session, three weddings, and a Thea update all in the pipeline. But for now? Kim and Jason were married this past Sunday at the Old Field Country Club! And we shot their engagement session the Sunday before that! I dig when couples shoot their engagement session during their wedding week. It’s another little event for them to enjoy during what is bound to be a crazy busy week packed with family and friends and allows them some alone time together just the two of them (and me).

Like I said, there’s so much more to come, but for now, enjoy the fun times with Jason and Kim!

Meghan and Danny’s Lower East Side Engagement

kimberlyhurst — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 10:00:41 +0000

When Meghan and Danny booked me to shoot their wedding, I was pregant. When they wanted to do the engagement session, I was even more pregnant. And by the time I was up and blogging again after my general pregnant-ness and maternity leave, it’s been…awhile…since their session. But never the less! I am so flipping excited to shoot their wedding in a few months. Why? Because they are so. much. fun. to hang out with! We had an awesome time trapsing around the Lower East Side, shooting photos, acting silly, eating cupcakes from Sugar Sweet Sunshine, and generally just having a lollygag good time. Their wedding is taking place at the photographers wonderland, 632 on Hudson. Oh, and check out Danny’s co-host gig on 106.7 The Fan!
