ROCK CLIMBING Engagement Photos! A Brooklyn Cliffs Rock climbing Engagement Session At Brooklyn Bridge Park

David and Eliza used to spend a bit of time rock climbing together when they first met... so it was really awesome when David suggested doing some photos at The CLIFFS at DUMBO !!!!  I've always seen this place whenever I passed by but never got to go in. (Update in 2024, I think the Cliffs at Dumbo is no longer there, but this was a very loved place)   I jumped at the idea- since I have never photographed a engaged couple rock climbing !! It was such a great idea! We got some REALLY cool shots of them hanging off the rocks and sprawling about.. then finished off the rest of the session nearby Brooklyn Bridge Park.  It was such a unique session in new york city and I’m glad we had the opportunity to do it! There’s always something new and cool here and to be able to photograph such a meaninful place for this couple was everything. Here are some of my favorite shots:  (PS: If you want to see David & Eliza's wedding day, here's the blog post for that!) 

NYC Engagement Session in the West Village & Oculus World Trade Center Building

Fall is always a beautiful time for engagement photo shoots! The sunsets begin earlier, the nights a little chillier, but there’s nothing a DKA from Dominque Ansel in New York City can’t fix! Check out this adorable NYC engagement session with Jessica & Arcadius shot in the West Village and then some at the Oculus World Trade Center in downtown Manhattan! We were able to capture the randomness of NYC (including some random group shot of kids hanging out) and the chill of October has got nothing on sweet kisses, smores, wine and an awesome time together! I was so thankful to be their new york city wedding photographer and the following year photographed their wedding at City Winery! Here are some of the highlights of our engagement photo session:

Central Park New York City Engagement Session

Winnie & Mark are an adorable & sweet couple that I got to work with for their engagement session and their wedding day!  (Will blog that sometime soon! Their wedding was so hip and awesomely designed and planned out!)  We had a gorgeous, bright, sunny afternoon for our session in Central Park, and even was able to make it to Columbus Circle for some night shots and ice cream! It was such an amazing shoot to photograph in New York City iconic spots. I love being a new york city wedding photographer.  Enjoy some of my favorite highlights:

Three's Brewing Company in Gowanus Brooklyn, New York City Engagement Session

Anuja and John are SO adorable!!  John is a man of never-ending information (which is totally impressive) and Anuja is a sweet and witty lady!  I loved working with them, eating (and drinking) our way through Brooklyn - their neighborhood!  We made pitstops at Luke's Lobster and Three's Brewing Company,  found interesting and odd spaces and ended the session making SMORES on their brooklyn rooftop that had a view of New York City!! *___*   It was a really a fun shoot and I'm so thankful for couples that allow me to be creative, energetic and spontaneous! Another great day as a new york city wedding photographer! Here are some of my favorite shots:
