Maria and I go way back.  Once upon a time, we were both pretty miserable working administrative jobs we were both poorly suited for (and both moved on around the same time).  On our lunch break, we occasionally played model and photographer.  And now we’re all growing up.  Maria and Russell got engaged on Roosevelt Island not too long ago, and so wanted to roll back out there for their engagement session.

Oh, did I mention Maria is a total knockout?

They argued for a few minutes about which particular spot along this ledge Russell actually proposed.

Then they made up.

Congratulations you guys!  I can’t wait for your wedding!
