BREAKING NEWS: Becka’s iPhone fell out of her pocket in a cab and was then stolen. If you need to get in touch with us please email us at info@thestudioishere.com. We will be getting Becka a new phone this week and will let everyone know when our communication is back on track. Thanks for understanding.

Hello from New York City! We are having such a fabulous time. We have been sightseeing and exploring, meeting new friends, and taking lots of pictures. We have gotten the chance to visit some of the places everyone had recommended and it’s been so nice to have those as goals because otherwise we’d get completely overwhelmed with options and probably never decide where to go or what to eat. Yesterday we literally walked from 11am till 8pm and today my legs are still holding a grudge. Hopefully they’ll get over it because we are going to attempt to do our photo shoot (weather permitting) with our fabulous hosts.

Here are just two quick shots since I’ve had no time to even dump our cards, let alone edit anything…

A rainy view from Central Park

Fun at dinner

Thank you to everyone for all of the wonderful suggestions of places to visit. So far we’ve:
Walked in Central Park
Eaten at Murray’s Cheese Shop and Amy’s Bread
Been overwhelmed by crowds in Times Square
Fallen in love with Bleeker Street
Walked around at night in the rain
Visted the meat packing district
Shopped in SOHO
Visted the Christian Louboutin Boutique and had a massive shoegasm
Joined in on a rally for garment workers at NYU
Saw Law & Order filming
Watched the most amazing live Jazz Ensemble and bought 2 CDs (expect a giveaway!)
Shopped at Zachary’s Smile
Tried to eat at Po but didn’t feel like waiting till 10pm
Ate at Pesce Pasta instead and it was molto bene
and Had some Mr. Softee

We’ve still got 3 days to go! We’re shooting today. Let the adventures continue…

We’re off to NYC!
We will be out of the office from now until April 1st.
Emails will be returned as best we can, but there will be some delay.
All voicemail messages will be returned when we return to our office on the 1st.
Thanks for your understanding.

Ps. Our second E-Letter will be going out the first week in April. If you didn’t receive one last month, you are not on the cool list, and you should be! Click on the link in the right sidebar to be added. :)

Bye Bye!
Love,
Becka & Nate

When we met Carl and Lillian last year, I felt an instant kindship to them. They were both students at UCF’s Rosen College of Hospitality Management here in Orlando. I spent two days a week at Rosen during my senior year of college for my minor. (You were all wondering why I was so hospitable weren’t you?) Some of my favorite classes in college were held at the Rosen Campus and I discovered my love of cooking (and how to properly dice an onion) in the enviously large kitchens there during my “Quantity Food Prep” courses. The Rosen College is one of the most beautiful campuses I’ve ever seen! It looks like a luxury hotel and puts UCF’s main campus to shame. So when Lillian told me that she felt like the campus would be the perfect backdrop for their engagement images, I couldn’t have agreed more.

I couldn’t pick just 5 so I decided to just split their session into two posts. Here is Part 1, Part 2 will come after we get back from New York. Enjoy…
