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 and Dumbo Brooklyn, NYC Engagement Photography Session

Jennifer and Paul moved to New York City from Houston, Texas.  Living in New York has been amazing for them, so when they were deciding on where to do their engagement session, they agreed it would be wonderful to document their time in New York City together here.   When choosing locations, they wanted some New York City staple locations, so Times Square was definitely on that list, along with Central Park.  We then ended the session back in Brooklyn (where Paul currently lives) with his infamous Corgi pup named Siri.  (Check out Siri's instagram; legend) I’m so glad I was able to capture such amazing and sweet moments for this couple as their time in New York City is so special! Another reason why I love being a New York City wedding photographer!!!

South Street Seaport New York City Engagement Session with the cutest Shiba Inu, named Cloud!

Excited to blog this adorable session with Carly, Joaquin and their little fluff of love, Cloud! We wandered the streets of South Street Seaport, grabbing some ice cream from the ice cream truck and tacos from El Luchador along the way! It was such a nice walk and a great view of the piers of New York City. Here are some of my favorite shots from their engagement session:

Dumbo Brooklyn, Brooklyn Bridge Park, New York City Engagement Session

Nancy and Sung are sooo great to me!  For their engagement session, they totally let me be creative and allowed me to 'do my thing' during our session.  It was so much fun!  The weather was beautiful in New York City that day!   We walked around Brooklyn Bridge Park, read some books about NYC, found some odd alleyways, drank a few cups of coffee and then found random props from the street- all in one session! Nancy is originally from San Francisco, and Sung Jin is from New York City and we were able to get photos of these cute books that are a nod to their native city. The photos really came out great and I am so excited to be a part of their wedding in San Francisco in October!  Another great day as a new york city wedding photographer!
