Timeless High Line & Central Park Engagement

A beautiful evening for engagement photos in central park and high line…

Alex & William’s engagement session started at on a quiet Central Park day, where the sun came out to meet us just so perfectly. We spent some time going to their favorite spots, reminiscing on how they met, and laughing our way through Bethesda Fountain while music from nearby buskers filled the air. Hopping off the subway, we strolled on through to the High Line, but not before a quick outfit change that put the cherry on top for this evening. As the city transitioned into night, I couldn’t help but document how romantic everything felt for these stunning souls. This has quickly become one of my favorite engagement sessions because of how effortless their love and willingness to be in the moment was.

Never in my career have I ever had a groom wield a Never in my career have I ever had a groom wield a Gibson Flying V guitar, and absolutely RIP performing during his own wedding reception! We were all at Adriana + Bradford’s rock show that day. 🎸 

Image 2 - do you remember the first time you saw a real life princess? The field trip was stopped dead in their tracks.

You can’t help but notice how much these two are head over heels for each other. I admired how focused they were on the moment, and these have become some of my favorite portraits of the sweetest couple. 💙

So much fun working with @theseabird @blissevent @blissevent_ashley on this special SD wedding!

Natalie + Lars for their seaside session. For me Natalie + Lars for their seaside session. 

For me, engagement sessions are a great way to meet my couple, and get them acclimated to being in front of my camera. But more than that, it’s a way for me to learn WHO they are. What’s important to them, what makes them laugh. @theweddingplanandcompany @theweddingplanandco_christie 

If there’s one thing I enjoy, it’s really connecting with my couples. Because we can all learn something from one another. It’s more than just a transaction for me. Love big 💙 #pointdumeengagement #malibuwedding #malibuengagement #authenticwedding
Long live black and white, and Dylan + Anthony’s L Long live black and white, and Dylan + Anthony’s Long Island wedding. 🤍 

I admire couples like them, who live every moment to the fullest, while completely in love along the way. 

The way that Anthony picked up and kissed Dylan after catholic mass really stopped me in my tracks - He loves her boldly, anywhere they are together. Completely in the moment, and head over heels for each other. Love these two so much. 💙 @bournemansion @lessingsweddings

What an honor to photograph US Olympian Kristine O What an honor to photograph US Olympian Kristine O’Brien’s NY wedding. Both her and Brian were SO much fun to work with - I just couldn’t stop laughing and smiling around them. They truly made everyone around them feel so loved!

From standing on the world stage as a US Olympian to standing hand in hand with the love of their life, every moment of this day carried intention, grace, and heart. Love you both! 💙 #bournemansionwedding #longislandwedding #nywedding
