Dana & Joseph’s E-Session
Central Park, New York City, NY

There is just something romantic about Central Park.  Maybe it stems from all the television and movie scenes filmed there - maybe it is that you don’t need to venture far to see couples strolling hand in hand or exchanging sly kisses under bridges…  whatever the magic, we find that it is simply an iconic place for love.

We met Dana and Joe at the entrance to the park.  After a short walk through Strawberry Fields, we arrived at our intended portrait spot, Bethesda Fountain.  Despite the waning sun and always abundant NY pedestrian foot traffic, we got right down to business — using the facade on the steps, the terrace area, the arcade’s tiled ceiling, the archways and the view of the Loeb Boathouse.

Such a sweet couple - can’t wait to celebrate with them in June at The Empire Club!

The best moments are the real ones.

These two just look so comfortable together.

Anastasia & Scott’s E-Session
Lackawanna Train Station, Hoboken, New Jersey

Scott is a train conductor for NJ Transit.  Not coincidentally, his love story, began on a train.   Anastasia was traveling alone, and it was love at first ticket.  Well not exactly, but in one conversation spanning between NJ and NYC, romance started.

When it came to choosing a location for their engagement session, Hoboken’s Lackawanna Train station seemed the perfect backdrop.  We had fun exploring the platform, the awesome architecture, not to mention Scott’s access into the restricted areas!  Loved the chemistry and all the spontaneity!  Fun session!

Can’t wait to celebrate with these two later this month at The Pines Manor in Edison.

We started by the bus terminal.  Love in silhouette.

Anastasia just seems so natural in Scott’s arms.

Sometimes when there is no light, we have to bring our own.

Making good use of Hoboken Terminal’s Tiffany Skylight.

Taking advantage of the lines and bold color on the train platform.

Love this.

Sonia & Joe’s Engagement Session
The Boat Basin, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey

Every year we are happy to do our small part to help out a few good causes.  So when Michelle Lo Conte of Pink Comb Salon asked us to be a part of her “Combs for a Cure,” Breast Cancer Fundraiser, we were excited to donate a free engagement session.  The winners, Sonia & Joe!

We took these two lovebirds to The Englewood Boat Basin, for a romantic and fun photo shoot by the George Washington Bridge.  Enjoy a glimpse into their session.
