Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
Romans 12:9 

I witnessed a sincere love last month. Every smile, every kiss and every laugh painted a beautiful picture of this commitment to forever. I was truly so honored to capture it all - Hope you enjoy these moments as much as I do.

EST 1991 - HBD Julie

Stephanie VelezComment

My dear friend Julie turned 25 and we couldn’t help but celebrate her with no refrains! Julie deservers the world- - if you come to know her you soon realizer her heart is pure. She’s the first to serve and demands nothing in return. I am a far better person because of her friendship. Here are some moments I collected of the decorations my friend Beca and I put together, Julie’s friends/family and most of all Julie’s beautiful face. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Sometimes moments slip through our fingers. Other times we feel the world slows down and we taste moments of forever. I love moments like these. They remind me love is powerful. Love is violently beautiful.

Jonathan & Jennifer are getting married in March and I had the honor of getting a short glimpse of their love. Hope you enjoy these moments as much as I do!

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  Love never fails.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Bear Mountain

I've always longed to take photos in a winter wonderland. Last week we were able to adventure around Bear Mountain and capture some freezing, yet lovely moments. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Annabel & Hector

Stephanie VelezComment

My favorite part about taking photos is capturing raw moments. These moments aren't posed or calculated, but gracefully become unveiled. I can get a glimpse of the love humans have for each other and these moments speak a thousand "I love you's". I could try my very best to describe it, but there is something powerful about freezing a moment and keeping it forever. I had the privilege of capturing raw moments of this beautiful couple. Annabel is not only known for her impeccable style, but for her lovely YouTube channel. I've made button below that directs you to her channel! Go check it out! Okay here you go.. my spontaneous shoot in a New York City subway station. I'm in love!

The beauty of marriage cannot be fully captured in just one photo. A million snapshots could not begin to display how breathtaking this day was. I had never experienced a reveal before and I was so honored to capture theirs. Their reaction to each other brought tears to my eyes and joy to my little heart. With great pleasure I present to you Eddy & Alyssa.
