When your engagement takes place in the winter months, having your engagement shoot in Gantry Plaza State Park or Central Park may not be an option. Fortunately for New Yorkers, there are tons of amazing indoor NYC locations to choose from that not only offer some heat from the cold but diverse artistic backdrops for your shoot! Our NYC wedding photographer joined this adorable couple for their winter engagement shoot at the popular Brooklyn Museum on Eastern Parkway and their photos came out great! The museum is packed with beautiful exhibits, artwork and open space making it the perfect location for an indoor shoot and it’s convenient Brooklyn location means not having to trek into Manhattan….double winner !!.. check it out for yourself!

Our photographers are constantly praised on their ability to capture romantic candid photos of couples on their big day. They are pros at giving just the right amount of creative direction while still allowing the couple to be in the moment and do what comes naturally. After all, you want your wedding photos to reflect your personality and really tell the story of your day through the images. While an engagement photo session is a bit different from a wedding shoot, it is still possible to get very natural, candid portraits of you and your fiancé, as you will see in this beautiful Brooklyn engagement gallery. Mai & Yin plan to marry next spring at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and wanted an engagement shoot that reflected their easy going relationship. Our photographer captured the two in their Bed-Stuy home hanging out together and in a local park for a fun game of basketball. Their photos came out great. Check it out!

Engagement session is here and with Cupid buzzing around our photographers are excited to start capturing more beautiful engagement sessions like this one. While the majority of our engaged couples choose locations like Central Park for their shoot, hidden gems like this Fort Greene neighborhood in Brooklyn should not be overlooked! They plan to get married in New Jersey this fall but wanted to keep it close to home for their pre-wedding shoot. We love how natural their photos came out and the combination of warm tones and black and whites really created a romantic tone for their gallery. Check it out!

Feel like an engagement shoot isn’t something you and your fiance’ really need? Think again! There are several reasons why choosing to take engagement photos is the right choice (even if you are a little camera shy). For one, it’s a great opportunity to work with your photographer before the wedding and helps him or her get a good sense of your “photo taking” style and preferences. And since it’s probably the first time you and your honey have taken professional photos together, it will be a great keepsake to send out on your save the dates as well (or decorate your wedding tables with)! Our team had the honor of capturing this adorable couple, Hera & Nick, for a fun engagement shoot at the American Museum of Natural History. Check it out

Engagement (and wedding) season is here and what better way to celebrate a promising future with your love than an engagement shoot in the city! Our photographers love working with couples and hearing about their unique love stories. Engagement photos are also a great (and popular) way to get ready for all the photos you are sure to take on your big day. Whether you are getting married in our great city or planning a destination wedding in your hometown, NYC has endless possibilities for amazing photos. Check out this cute couple’s Brooklyn Bridge and Dumbo area shoot for ideas!

Prospect Park is beautiful in the fall! The tree leaves have changed from green to an amber hue, the ponds are quiet and it’s not as crowded as the summertime. You’ll find elderly people sitting on the park benches reading the morning paper, tourist taking “selfies” in front of the beautiful fountain in Grand Army Plaza and of course engaged couples having their photos taken by our awesome team members! Our photographers had a great time shooting this animal loving couple, Lana & Utka this past fall and they even brought along their adorable cocker spaniel puppy (he will serve as the ring bearer for their springtime Bronx Zoo wedding).

A great way to personalize your engagement photos is to bring in elements that are special to you as a couple. Our photographers have had a blast shooting couples playing football on The Great lawn in Central Park (in opposing team jersey’s of course), in the NYC transit museum (they met at work as MTA employees) Madison Square Garden (on the hockey ice!) and even in the book lined aisles of Strand for our avid readers (great discount bookstore in Union Square by the way). Whatever it is that makes you special as a couple, incorporating that into your engagement shoot is always a great idea and makes for great photos. So don’t overthink it, just do what comes naturally and your photos are sure to be perfect as was the case with this adorable couple, Dyesha & John.

If you’ve looked through our galleries you know how much our photographers LOVE themed engagement photo shoots! We always stress how important it is to include places and things that are special to you as a couple in your engagement (and wedding) photos. Being in a familiar environment not only helps you to relax in front of the camera but also allows you and your sweetie to really have some fun together! We have shot everything from sports-themed shoots to a video Love-Story that casts the couple as Brooklyn bank robbers that fell in love after a crime-ridden escapade! Our most recent shoot was a first for our team. Mindy & David, both hockey fans, actually rented out Madison Square Garden for a one of a kind engagement session on the ice! Check it out…

A great addition to engagement photos is the trending engagement video, also known as The Love Story. It gives engaged couples the opportunity to let their imagination run wild and showcase their unique love story. Who knew that Sia & Jed met as bank robbers! This fun loving couple pitched this idea to our videographers and we loved it! Shot in the Dumbo section of Brooklyn, even the owner of the famous Spanish restaurant on Jay Street, Pedro’s was willing to get in on the story!

Vanesa & Hussein kept it traditional in their Love Story engagement video and talked about how they met and what they love about each other. Our videographers guided this couple through the Dumbo, Brooklyn area and Brooklyn bridge park to record their narratives. Vanessa loves how spontaneous Hussein is and Hussein is enchanted by his future brides beauty. Our team looks forward to creating a beautiful wedding video for them as well.

Gail & Mozart took their love to new heights with their engagement shoot at High line park in Manhattan, NY. Mozart loves his fiancé’s style and gave our photographers great direction on how he wanted the shoot to go. This cute couple had some fun and took barefoot photos in the sprinklers, ate cupcakes together and shared a cool drink. They plan to keep up the outdoor theme and marry in Central Park in front of Bethesda fountain. Our team will be there with (wedding) bells on!
