A Cloisters & Fort Tryon Park in New York City Engagement Photography Session

Angel and Wing, aka, Angel-Wings, decided to have their engagement session over my the Cloisters Museum on the Upper West side. The Cloisters is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the Upper East side of New York City.  They also really wanted to include Max, Wing's dog, into the session, so we went to Fort Tryon Park after.  I remember Max when he was a little puppy! Now he's all grown up, hyper as ever and seeing his best friend get married.  It is too sweet! Truly love my job as a New York City Wedding Photographer!!  

Here are some of the highlights from the shoot!

A Sea Glass Carousel Engagement Session in Lower Manhattan near Battery Park

Lily and Dan set a date to do their engagement session, and as the date got closer, the weather started to look more and more cloudy on the weather app.. >_>  We decided we would chance it and wait until the last possible minute to make the final call.  Lily couldn't reschedule because she was getting her makeup trial done that day so we could do the shoot right after.  Finally when the day came- the weather app "said" that it wasn't going to rain during our time frame for the shoot so we were ecstatic!  We met at our proposed place, the Sea Glass Carousel in Lower Manhattan, New York City.  When I got there... it was POURING ;__;  Luckily it was an indoor carousel.. and even luckier was that it was empty since no one else was nearby crazy enough to come during such a huge storm.  I had a such a fun time photographing in the empty carousel and getting great shots of Lily and Dan!!!  After we felt that we had spent enough time there, the rain actually stopped and we were able to finish up the shoot outdoors and walk over to Battery Park!!!  It couldn't have worked out any more perfect! You really never know what to expect when youre trying to shoot weddings or engagements here in New York City!  

Here are some of my favorites from our session:

Central Park, New York City Engagement Photography Session

There's quite a few funny stories to surround this engagement session.  Our first date was overtaken by a massive flash flood thunderstorm warning in New York City - so we had to reschedule.  On the day of the reschedule, it said 0% of rain, yet still managed to have a few drops come down on us. The weather in New York City is SO unpredictable. But we were still determined (because their wedding is coming up soon in August!) and Margaret and Jing are super sweet and patient people!! We had also planned to do the shoot in Central Park.. and when we got there we realize that the NYC Philharmonic free concert was happening the same night! There were floods and floods of people entering Central Park--but we didn't let that get in our way!  We got all the shots we needed and then finished up the shoot at Hudson River Park with some great waterfront shots.  Even through all the obstacles--the shoot ended up being a ton of fun and we got some awesome shots!! You never know what to expect here in New York City - that’s why with weddings you have to be able to be flexible and go with the flow!

NYC Engagement Session at Govenor's Island and South Street Seaport

Nancy and Raymond wanted to do their engagement session somewhere a little different than most people.. so they wanted to go to Governor's island. It was my first time as a New York City wedding photographer going to Governor’s Island to do a engagement photo session. Governor's island is actually ONLY open during the Summer months of NYC and often have different art exhibitions and other events every weekend in the Summer. It was definitely a really great idea to go there to do the photoshoot! We also got SUPER lucky, because we picked the final day that the island was open and it was a little chilly, so it was deserted and we had the whole island to ourselves! Im so glad they chose me to be their nyc wedding photographer! I’m looking forward to their wedding next year! Here are some of my favorites:
