A morning stroll through the West Village with Haley & Jeremy

This September, I got to photograph Haley and Jeremy’s engagement in New York City, before we meet again in February for their wedding in Boca Raton, FL. They took me on a stroll through the West Village, exploring their favorite streets, grabbing coffee and simply enjoying the last few days of summer. While these two live in the city, it was a true pinch-me moment for me being back in New York and photographing there. Growing up in France, I watched American shows from Friends to Gossip Girl and Sex and the City, and they felt so far and foreign to me — being there again, getting to do what I love most, was a dream come true.

Shot on digital and 35mm film.
