When Sonia and Aaron reached out to us about their engagement session, they were looking for something casual and romantic. They wanted to capture the spirit of their relationship in a beautiful and natural way. We thought Prospect Park would be a perfect location for this New York City engagement session.
These two showed up ready to go with some cozy fall outfits on. Their fall engagement outfit inspiration was absolutely top-notch. They looked like they had just come out of a clothing catalog. It was perfect for the natural landscapes of Prospect Park. This big park in the heart of Brooklyn is one of the best engagement photo ideas in New York City.
We consider Prospect Park as one of the best locations for an engagement photo session. This is because the space is versatile and unique. There are not many natural landscapes in New York City. Central Park is often very crowded with tourists which can make for a not so intimate engagement session.
In Prospect Park, there are tons of options for engagement photoshoot locations. By the boathouse, for example, is one of the top engagement photo spots in New York. The boathouse also has gorgeous wedding ceremony capabilities. Near the boathouse, there is also a beautiful hidden waterfall area and some lovely forested trails for your New York City engagement session.
Prospect Park can make for an amazing NYC engagement photoshoot location because there are versatile spots. We could head over to Grand Army Plaza for some beautiful sunset photos, or head deep into the woods in Prospect Park for some more earthy and organic photos. We love this photoshoot spot for engagement sessions because we can have a private engagement photoshoot with our New York City couples.
Sonia and Aaron were wonderful sports. As the sun was poking through, we chased the light on this very cold day. When it comes to engagement sessions in New York City, sometimes you never know what you’re going to get with the weather. These two stuck through it for some beautiful shots in the morning light. We ended up over by the skating rink in Prospect Park, where there is also a beautiful little garden area. The best part about doing a photoshoot in Prospect Park is the fact that you can stumble across so many beautiful areas you never knew were there in the first place.
As New York City engagement photographers, we love to find new and interesting locations with our couples. We love to explore places like Prospect Park, which have a lot of versatility and exciting new things to find. Being New York wedding photographers who have seen many locations, also find that this spot tends to be quieter and more secluded for our couples than, for example, Central Park engagement photos.
We often use our engagement session time with couples to get to know them before their wedding day. This allows them to get comfortable with a camera on them, learn about closing, and have some wonderful time spent together. Giving our couples engagement photo poses to work with, they take them to heart and remember for their wedding day.
We find it very important to get to know couples before their wedding day because on your day itself, we will be spending a lot of time together. It turns out, on your actual wedding day, you will not be spending a lot of time closely with your partner. Much of the day is spent with your family, friends, and vendors. As photographers in New York City, we want to make sure that you are comfortable and happy with us for your wedding experience.
At your NYC engagement shoot, we will teach you tricks to get comfortable in front of the camera and to make each other laugh. This will help ease some tension if you are nervous about having your photo taken. As experienced New York City wedding photographers, we value our couples’ comfort above everything. This is why we find engagement photo shoot so important in your wedding planning process.
On top of this, you get to use the engagement photos for save the dates and your wedding website. This is a fun time that will also lead to lifelong memories for both of you. When was the last time you had professional photos taken together? The answer may likely be never.
As a couple, you will want to have some photos together from this period of time in your life. You’re only engaged once, and it’s important to document the special memories. Having a casual and fun engagement photoshoot in NYC like Sonia and Aaron had is the perfect way to commemorate your time together. If you are a laid-back couple who likes to chill and just hang out, a casual engagement shoot in New York City may be the right option for you. You’ll want to remember this time in your life exactly how you were, and not just in professionally done hair and makeup on your wedding day.
This Prospect Park engagement session with Sonia and Aaron was a ton of fun. We all shared a lot of laughs together and made the most out of this chilly morning. If you’re thinking about getting engagement photos done in New York City, consider Prospect Park as a gorgeous location of choice.
