new york, new york!

The best cheesecake in New York at Juniors...do you think we were happy?!
Nidal and Gale took us all over the city...we even got to stroll Central Park in the evening while drinking coffee...we think NYC might be a little bit of heaven on earth : )

We DEFINITELY heart New York!

This 9/11 monument was at Eagle Rock in New Jersey...the park has an amazing view of the city where the Twin Towers once stood, and pays tribute to all those who lost their lives in service during September 11, 2001. It is most definitely a place of reflection and remembrance.

This is what it feels like to drive through the Lincoln Tunnel...good thing we had Nidal to handle the warp speeds!
Jen sitting on the NJ Transit, on our way to NYC.
This man is a NYC staple...the Naked Cowboy! Evidently he is in Times Square almost every day. Never a dull moment in the Big Apple!
Jen and I were excited to see Bryant Park! We are HUGE Project Runway fans.
Of course we had to get in some shopping at H&M : )
Jen and Jana are practicing to be professional statues!

Jen and I wanted to post a few photos of our very fun and exciting weekend in New York City! We flew out Friday, along with our friend (and assistant) Jana, to photograph the wedding of my mother-in-law, Gale, in Fairfield New Jersey. We decided to stay an extra day to explore the city and get some shopping in, but little did we know what was in store for us! We could not dream of two better hosts than Gale and Nidal! From the moment we got off the plane in Newark we were taken from place to place and offered fabulous food, company and experiences. They literally made sure that we saw all the main attractions that New York City has to offer. In our short stay we were able to make it to the Empire State Building, visit Ground Zero,  shop in Times Square, eat amazing food China Town, have cannolis in Little Italy, drive the Brooklyn Bridge, have a slice of Junior's famous New York Cheesecake, not to mention photograph an entire rehearsal dinner and wedding! Where we found the time we will never know, but what we do know is that we owe it all to the hospitality of this amazing couple...stay tuned for more posts about their wedding!
