Brendan and Jesse’s engagement photo shoot in Central Park is one of our favorite autumn galleries. We are obsessed with the stunning colors and moody atmosphere of this sunrise session. As wedding photographers in the Hudson Valley, we love to come to this iconic park for pre-wedding pictures. The beauty of this location in the fall is unmatched.

Starting early in the morning, we took the couple to the iconic lake and Gapstow Bridge. This backdrop is one of the most timeless pieces of architecture in the city. We just love the way the ivy turns red during the fall. The lake beautifully reflects the autumn trees surrounding the area. This LGBTQ+ couple rocked this iconic spot for their romantic fall photos.
When it comes to your engagement photo shoot in Central Park, the season is so important. This park is beautiful at all times of year, but autumn really is something else. These cinematic engagement pictures will make you feel like you’re in the midst of a Netflix rom-com. We are so in love with the colors and textures of this beautiful session.
The Mall is one of the most popular places to take NYC engagement pictures. That’s why we only like to shoot in Central Park at sunrise. The beauty of the park can be lost in the crowds during the day. You’ll get a much more intimate experience at sunrise when it’s just the two of you. Plus, there will be much less background distraction and competition for spots.

As New York and Hudson Valley wedding photographers, we love the classic and timeless look of an engagement photo shoot in Central Park. Brendan and Jesse rocked this iconic spot for their romantic fall photos. The yellow foliage mixed with the timeless architecture created some of our favorite images of the season.
The best time to book a session with fall foliage is late October to early November. We want our couples to get the best of the season. For moody, dramatic engagement shoots in New York, you’ll want to book early. Getting a spot on the calendar during this busy season can be difficult, so reach out in early autumn for the best options.
The lake near the Central Park Boathouse also makes for some stunning, reflective photographs. We love the way the colors reflect on the water and create a unique look. It feels like a painting when you look at these LGBTQ+ engagement photos in New York. We love the fog on the water in the morning, which is why sunrise truly is the best time.

Book your engagement photo shoot in Central Park today to get the best possible foliage looks. We want to give you a colorful and fun experience. As candid, photojournalistic wedding photographers in New York, we know how to get the most natural feeling shots. From Gapstow Bridge to Bow Bridge, we’ll ensure it’s a fun and comfortable experience start to finish.
