This adorable couple actually went to junior high school together and ultimately re-connected in NYC many many years later. So for all of you single people out there wondering who will Mr./Ms. Right be, don’t dismiss those awkward kids you never even gave the time of day to in the halls of your elementary school/junior high/high school so long ago. They just might grow up to be pretty fantastic people like Mia and Michael who act like two teenagers in love.

Mia and Michael made my job quite easy during our engagement session in Central Park and in the Meatpacking District. I basically just took pictures while they laughed and enjoyed each others company. People ask me all the time about locations to shoot but my favorite images are of people just being themselves and feeling really comfortable in front of the camera no matter the location. Mix in some fantastic light (maybe a little wind) and you have the simplest receipt for memorable pictures you will want to look at time and time again.
