A winter’s stroll in the West Village | Ana & Rafael

Sunday, midday in late January. An overcast day with a light chill.

Rafael and Ana’s first photoshoot after an amazing nine and a half years together!

 

Cute little moments as they giggle and chat quietly with each other in Portuguese <3

 

The West Village, with it’s cobblestone streets, charming architecture, quaint restaurants & stores make it the perfect backdrop for a photoshoot…

I always feel like I’m in a movie when walking through this lovely neighborhood.
An exquisite setting to showcase Ana & Rafael’s love :) ❤️

 

“I saw that you were perfect, and so I loved you. Then I saw that you were not perfect and I loved you even more.”

-Angelita Lim

 

I love both color and black and white. They bring out their own beauty. I always give both.

 

It was so fun talking to them and getting to know them… seeing how they interact…

I know we were getting some great moments, but then as I began editing they brought a tear to me (in the most beautiful way)... I could see moments that happen in a millisecond, captured by camera, that even I didn’t catch in the moment.

Now that’s M A G I C 📸✨

 
 
 

“There is no remedy for love but to love more.”

-Henry David Thoreau

 
 

I’m definitely already a big believer in love, but getting to experience beautiful couples like these…
to get to capture the love of strangers, who soon aren’t…

I’m so blessed 🤍

Thanks for letting me capture your love story, Ana & Rafael :)

xo, K
