Maddox and Callan’s LGBTQ+ engagement photos are a romantic testament to their relationship. Taken in Manhattan’s Central Park, we are obsessed with these two and the joy they exude. The autumn foliage, paired with their grins, is a recipe for a stunning session. As Hudson Valley wedding photographers, we can’t wait to capture their big day in Upstate New York. For these pre-wedding pictures, we went back to the place where their love story began.

Romantic Fall LGBTQ+ Engagement Photos in New York

This engagement session in New York City just radiates love and energy. We started by Gapstow Bridge and the pond for an iconic scene. This is one of the most beautiful spots to take engagement photos in Central Park. The reflections on the water of the trees and the sky of the autumn day paint a perfect backdrop. These photos were taken at sunrise which made for nice, even lighting. It also allowed for one of the most popular spots in Manhattan to be entirely empty.

Autumn Engagement Photography with Full Foliage in Manhattan

When it comes to taking engagement photos for LGBTQ+ couples, we know how important it is to represent your love story. These two leaned right in and showed so much emotion and love. Callan and Maddox wore clothing that was comfortable to them and just enjoyed every moment. Though they came into the shoot feeling a little camera-shy, they warmed right up on this chilly morning. Plus, they even brought their dog along for some fun portraits.

How to Take Great Engagement Photos with Your Dog

We love when couples bring along their pets to engagement photos in New York. As dog-lovers ourselves, we just want to make sure they’re well taken care of when they’re not in the shots! That’s why we always recommend that couples bring along a friend, family member, or dog-walker to join them on the session. This will allow the dog to have someone comfortable with them while we’re getting into your photo shoot. Otherwise, you’ll be down one photographer and your dog may also not be as comfortable with us vs. someone familiar.

Take Engagement Photos as an LGBTQ+ Couple

Our Beacon-based wedding photography and videography team loves to capture all sorts of love stories. It’s so important to bring an authentic energy to your unique, comfortable engagement session. When it comes to your photo shoot, we always want to educate you and have you educate us as much as possible. We do consultations and send out a questionnaire prior to your photo being taken.
