Tara Sharma Photography

Sanjay contacted me a few months ago, with an exciting plan in his mind – he wanted me to photograph his proposal to Mimi, at one of the most gorgeous locations in New York City.  Sanjay rented out 620 Loft at Rockefeller Center, and decided to propose on the rooftop garden. The views from here were of Saks Fifth Avenue, Rockefeller Center, 30 Rock and St. Patricks Cathedral – talk about views! I was so incredibly excited when I first talked to him I could hardly contain my excitement. Since then Sanjay and I emailed back and forth planning all the details of how he was going to get her to this particular place, what he would say, where I would be hiding…and all the details leading up to the big moment when he would ask Mimi to be his wife. As the day neared I started to fear that it was going to rain, or that it would be too cold, or that I would get so caught up in the moment I would forget to click the shutter on my  camera …but it turned out beautifully. Special thanks to Matt Richman for helping me out on this one, his images are priceless!

When the moment came, it was just beautiful. The location was stunning and the background was just so picturesque. Of course Mimi said YES (!!) and we spent the rest of the morning taking a few photos of the newly engaged couple. I am so happy that I got to be a part of this, thanks guys…and I’m really looking forward to the formal engagement ceremony!

My view…

The next three are Matt’s view…

I think she said YES

Matt’s view – look at the look on Sanjay’s face – priceless.

A favorite of mine:

Mimi’s mom designed her ring. Its so beautiful…and infinitely more meaningful.

That amazing view again…

I love this photo – Matt is awesome!

They are so gorgeous together!

I met Tanu and Niral this past weekend in Hoboken to snap off a few engagement photos. These two are so full of laughter and playfulness with each other. There were so many when I put my camera down from clicking off a few, and in the ‘time between the photos’, Tanu and Niral would start goofing off like crazy and laughing like there was no tomorrow. I pretty much didn’t have to do much to get them to smile and look fierce for the camera – it was natural for them!

Tanu and Niral met through a friend and a few years later, are about to tie the knot. The wedding is in India in a few months but they wanted some photos in NJ and NY for their engagement. Both of them live in New Jersey so we decided to session 1 on the shore of the Hudson river with the Manhattan skyline in the background. I hardly get out to that side of the Hudson river so it really was nice for me to get the ‘other view’ of nyc (see below post). Oh and in case you can’t guess – they are both huge Met’s fans I had so many favorites…hope you enjoy! Stay tuned in a few weeks for Part 2 of their session at their proposal location!

One of my favs – just look at Tanu’s expression! So lovely!

Also love this one…

Then it was time for a quick outfit change…

So cute! They are both easy on the eyes don’t you think?

I love this little series – Tanu had just come back from changing her outfit and Niral was waiting for her by the tree – I had nothing to do with this little series and I think it worked out kind of nicely…

Also one of my favs..

You can do some fun things with parkage garages believe it or not…
