Marlie on our Anniversary Picnic – West Park Winery

Eric and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary! We didn’t want to do anything crazy. We just wanted to spend the day appreciating all the little and big things that we have done together over the past 5 years. This year we are especially grateful for our daughter, the cutest, most smiley, gleeful little girl in the world. We woke up feeling very nostalgic. So we jumped in the car and headed up to West Park Winery for a little picnic on the hilltop where we got married. It was blazing hot, much like our wedding day. We both tried so hard to pretend that this was uber romantic and such an amazing moment. Which it was. But there was no hiding the feeling that you walked into a sauna with a snow suit on. Nevertheless, it was a beautiful day to take a drive with the AC on full blast and recap our wedding highlights. We also spent the day watching Marlie TV – which basically means we sat on the floor watching her every move for hours, never getting bored of her entertainment. She’s a hoot – clapping, waving, saying dada, screeching at the highest octave possible, and she does the wounded soldier crawl now too. Marlie’s about 7.5 months in these shots, loving every minute of life, and making our world super special.

Jonathan Ivy - Adorable, love the colors.

Mark - Aww, cute! What a happy kid. 🙂

Brent Frey Jr. - And I thought the hand jesture in Pic II meant “Surf’s up Dude”. or even Hook em’ Horns, that is a University of Texas Long Horns rally cry. Either way she is too cool for words!

Danielle + Rob Engagement Photos in Brooklyn

Congratulations to Danielle and Rob. Reuniting with old friends for a photo shoot is pretty awesome! These two are Eric’s college buddies from UMass and they haven’t see each other much over the last 10 years. Damn that makes us like dinosaurs. So honored that they chose to hire Be Creative. Their engagement session was in Brooklyn where they got engaged. I love their connection in this photo and the way their arms are crossed and the bridge is crossing overhead makes for a really cool composition.

A quiet moment capturing the undeniable landmark that is the Brooklyn Bridge.

The shoot was a lot of fun and a lot of goofing around. But not lacking in tender moments like this with some awesome color to boot.

Now this is the good stuff.

I’m sure they were thinking, what the hell are we doing at this loading door? But it’s a pretty cool shot.

Probably one of my favorites from the shoot. We kinda love capturing a little sun flare.

Can’t wait for the big day!

If any one out there wants an engagement session in Brooklyn contact us.

Cindy & Jeff’s Wedding at the Wainwright House in Rye, NY

Congratulations to Cindy and Jeff! They had a beautiful wedding at one of our favorite locations, The Wainwright House in Rye, New York. Cindy has such a beautiful smile and I sure am glad I got to see a lot of it on her wedding day. She was beaming with joy. I loved the special touches that were added in honor of Cindy’s Dad like the detail in the photo below.

Cindy and Jeff met before the ceremony for some portraits. I think Jeff’s expression here is just classic!

Their ceremony was touching and full of smiles.

I’ve never seen such a thoughtful and sweet way to honor a loved one! This is one of my favorite images of the day.

Check out Cindy’s awesome blue shoes.

Thank you for including us in your wedding day. We had a wonderful time getting to know you and can’t wait for your album design!

Sincerely,
Eric Lagstein
