Nikki and Justin’s engagement session was a dreamy, golden hour adventure in Central Park, capturing the essence of their everyday life in NYC. Living in New York City, these two love the blend of urban energy and the serene pockets of nature the city offers. They wanted their engagement photos to reflect their unique love story and the places that feel like home to them.

Crafting a Cinematic Love Story

We worked together to brainstorm, create, and intentionally execute a session that truly reflected Nikki and Justin’s relationship. Something I pride myself in as a photographer is the way that I choose to go about engagement sessions and wedding days. I first and foremost want the couple to know that their session is about THEM, so getting to know them and their relationship is essential before going into the planning. For Nikki and Justin, they have a deep appreciation for the nature spots in NYC, even if they’re few and far between. Central Park was the perfect backdrop, offering that rare touch of greenery in the heart of the city.

A Romantic Stroll Through Central Park

Our adventure began at the iconic Mall in Central Park, where Nikki and Justin strolled hand-in-hand, just like in a classic rom-com. The evening light was perfect, casting a warm, golden glow that gave everything a cinematic, movie-like feel. We sat on benches, danced in the meadow, and even laid in the grass, soaking up the sweet, storybook moments.

The entire session had that nostalgic, old movie vibe—like scenes straight out of a timeless love story. Every moment felt organic and true to who Nikki and Justin are as a couple. It was less about posing and more about capturing their natural, effortless connection.

The Magic of Golden Hour

Golden hour in Central Park is pure magic. The sun setting over the city, the light filtering through the trees, and the calm of the evening all came together to create a perfect backdrop for Nikki and Justin’s love story. It was a blend of the iconic NYC vibe and the intimate, personal moments that make their relationship unique.

From dancing under the trees to whispering sweet nothings on park benches, every shot was filled with the magic of New York City. Central Park provided that ideal mix of classic NYC charm and the natural beauty that Nikki and Justin love. It was like stepping into a romantic film set in the heart of the city!

A Perfect Reflection of Their Love

This engagement session was all about making memories in the places that mean the most to Nikki and Justin. It was about capturing the everyday moments that make their relationship special and showcasing the love they have for each other and for NYC. Their photoshoot was not just about the pictures but about celebrating their love in the most authentic way possible.
