02.13.07 alla and eugene engaged

Now this is Alla and Eugene a month before their wedding. We managed to squeeze this portrait session in despite Eugene’s busy travel schedule. It was fun having their “baby” cocker spaniel along too! Well-behaved and very cute. We decided to do a mix of park and streetscape scenery since their wedding images would be at a castle. Alla and I knew that these photographs were for an Engagement Album and a 16×20 enlargement as a surprise for Eugene. Originally we had talked about how much fun it would be to do this on a snow day and the very next day NYC had a snow-ice storm. Oh well
