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.

Joyce and Brian’s Engagement Session
Central Park, New York City, NY

We met Joyce and Brian at the entrance of Central Park.  All we really knew was that these two lived near Atlantic City and were getting married at La Venta Inn in Palos Verdes, California.  So we enjoyed our stroll through the park, getting to know Joyce and Brian a little better.  What we quickly found out is that they two are very much in love, settle down in front of the camera quickly, and  share a fun goofy side.

On our quest for a quiet nook, we discovered Trefoil Arch.  A three part series…

Dancing in the dark.

Joyce rockin’ the ivy!

Reflective.  Serious.  Dramatic.

Fun. Goofy.  Awesome.

We ventured to Bethesda Fountain and Terrace for another set of pictures.  There was some dipping & some jumping…

Inside the Bethesda Arcade.  Love under the Minton Tile Ceiling.

Finally, some summer relief… chilling in an air conditioned Starbucks.  Fun fact:  Joyce was Brian’s Starbucks barista in Los Angeles, whipping up his morning coffee, which is how they met.  How cute!
