a new york moment

I'm no good at surprises - keeping them secret that is! Especially when I'm so excited about the surprise. Well thankfully I don't think my hubby Lurch reads my blog that often (perhaps something I should be encouraging!) so I am going to spill....

This December is our 2nd Wedding Anniversary, and it's my turn to organise something (we take turns ever year). We only arrive home from our overseas trip a week before our anniversary date, so we'll be too poor and probably too tired to worry about anything extravagant. But of course I want to make sure it's something memorable!

Then yesterday the greatest idea came to me (well after reading a celeb gossip mag where Jen Annisten had just done the same thing with her beau)... I'm going to book a on-location photo shoot for me and Simon in New York City!! Just think - the backdrop of Central Park, then in front of a NYC Taxi, then on a rooftop overlooking the city, then the Brooklyn Bridge! It will be like having a personal photographer capture a once in a lifetime experience. Now the only challenge is getting Simon to like the idea of having his photo taken for the whole session (let's just say he HATES being in photos).

The whole idea has got me looking into couple photography, not just weddings and engagements, but shoots that just capture the personality of the couple. I don't want the standard "pose & shoot", I want natural happy & really just being stupid photos. Here are some that I love (mixture of amazing NYC locations, and photo style...):
