A Day at The Met Cloisters: Capturing Jamar and Carielle's Engaging Love Story

Richard Nieves September 26, 2023

Hello to all the wonderful people reading this!

Last weekend, I had the distinct privilege of being part of an enchanting experience, nestled amidst the serenity of The Met Cloisters in New York City. If you’ve never been, the Cloisters are reminiscent of a medieval castle. Framed against the breathtaking Hudson River, this place offers a dreamy canvas for moments of love to be captured.

Now, let’s talk about Jamar and Carielle! Jamar, with his charming MTA bus driver vibe, and Carielle, the passionate teacher, made the day genuinely magical. The highlight? Dancing joyfully to the tunes of their potential first dance song surrounded by nature's symphony. We roamed the lush park, capturing candid shots, stolen glances, and unrestrained laughter.

Oh, and speaking of MTA buses and surprises – we ended our session with a couple of spectacular shots in and around an actual bus! Huge shoutout to the super-cool driver who let us create those memories.

If you, or someone you know, are looking for someone to chronicle your love story, be it through pictures or videography, I'd be honored to be your storyteller. Drop me a message, and let’s make memories together!

Here’s what to consider when deciding between the two—and how to make the process smoother if you choose buttons.
