Alex and Susan's Brooklyn Engagement

I met Susan and Alex on a Sunday afternoon at a little cafe in Brooklyn on 3rd Ave called Maglia Rosa. The weather was perfect and the staff at Maglia Rosa were super sweet - helping me with lighting and offering to change the music for us. Susan brought along this beautiful pink blouse that she wanted to get a couple of photos in..her Mom had worn the same blouse in her own engagement shoot many years earlier. After some Strawberry Pie and a cup of coffee we made our way down to the water where we finished off the engagement shoot at Bush Terminal Park. This was my first time shooting here and the views over the water were beautiful. I love when my couples show me a new side of this big crazy city. The sunset was stunning and it was the perfect way to end our little engagement session together.

Jaeke Lyn and Scott's Engagement Shoot in Liberty State Park Jersey City

I got to hang with these two lovebirds yesterday and look how much fun we had! The sun came out for us and it ended up being a perfect day in Jersey City despite what the weather report was telling us earlier. I love shooting in Liberty State Park as there are so many different backdrops - The beautiful greenery, the water, the NYC skyline. There’s always plenty of space and privacy for the couple that are a little shy and I love that you always find a free park. Whether my couple drive in or I do, having a car close by means you don’t have to drag all your belongings around with you during the shoot - I highly recommend being bag free on your engagement shoot as it gives you so much more freedom to focus all your attention on your loved one and less on finding somewhere to put your belongings down every 5 minutes.
