On a windy autumn day, we headed up to take some Riverside Park engagement photos with Sheila and Rob. The park is really pretty at this time of year. In addition to the beautiful Autumn colours on display, there was a variety of interesting architecture and urban design features that we got to play with in their photos.

Riverside Park Engagement Photos in the Fall

Working in an environment like New York City is a great challenge and can create some really interesting engagement photos. We try to make the most of our surroundings by incorporating existing design elements into our imagery. When we were strolling along Riverside Park with these two, we couldn’t help but notice the standout rock formations. Sheila and Rob climbed up the rocks for some wonderful engagement pictures.

We were so in love with the autumn foliage on this chilly day. Sheila & Rob have a wonderful love story that had us laughing all of the way through it. It is always amazing to see the excitement and emotions of a couple during their engagement photo shoot in New York. It always turns from nervous to excited as the shoot progresses.

Before doing this session, we’d actually done their elopement a few months earlier. They kind of did things in backwards order. These two had their official ceremony, then engagement shoot, then a vow renewal wedding at Radegast Hall. Sheila and Rob had a very nice time during this session.
