Beautiful Engagement Session in Downtown Manhattan and Dumbo, Brooklyn Bridge Park

Olivia and Andrew met in New York City and had their first apartment together in the Lower East Side before moving to Brooklyn.. and soon they would be packing up and moving cross country to LA, California! So to commemorate their time in NYC, they decided to have their engagement session done in their two neighborhoods! We began over by Cooper Square and then headed over to Dumbo! I loved being able to walk around these two creative neighborhoods and photograph their love! Featuring my favorite pit-stop: PIZZA, here are some of my favorite highlights from our session:

Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art Engagement Session in New York City

Linda and Daniel recently moved to NYC and wanted to immortalize their time here by getting married in NYC!  So when we talked about where to do their engagement session, Linda definitely wanted to incorporate the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Central Park! It was great to get some gorgeous shots inside the room of The Temple of Dendur at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. It’s such an iconic new york city spot and a place that had beautiful lighting.  I think the highlight for me on this shoot was meeting the bubble man and having him teach us how to make HUGE bubbles in Central Park!!  It was also really cool to have him create a huge heart bubble to encompass both Linda and Daniel!! Such a cool experience!  I’m glad they chose me to be their new york city wedding photographer! I am also shooting their gorgeous wedding next fall!

A New York City Dim Sum and Beef Noodle Soup Cooking Engagement Photography Session in Long Island City

These two amazing New York City chefs wanted to have an engagement photography session that would capture their personalities and their loves... for each other and for delicious food.  They began with sharing dim sum with one another as a starter, then Ryan's famous beef noodle soup.  They topped it off with some chocolate souffles ... which tasted... amazing.  And yes... as the photographer I got to try some of the food.. hehe!  It was really fun working with these two and we got some amazing shots in the process! I love doing things differently and trying new ideas- so much diversity and customs to experience as a New York City wedding photographer!! Here are some of my favorite shots from the session:

A West Village Engagement Session in NYC

Daisy and John live in the West Village and wanted to do a session in their neighborhood.  They took me around to their favorite spots and streets and then to the pier.  It was a great session and these two are so obviously in love :) I had so much fun photographing this couple and we found some amazing and unique spots in the west village, new york city. To be honest, this is one of my favorite locations to do a New York City engagement session because it just gives off that classic NYC vibe. Yet another great session as a new york city wedding photographer! Here are some of my favorite shots:
