A Central Park Engagement Session | Samantha and Gabe

Samantha and Gabriel are a lovely couple who call New York City home. When they reached out to me for their engagement session, I knew that Central Park would be the perfect location. It's a beautiful park with so many iconic locations, making it an ideal backdrop for photos.

On the day of the shoot, we met at the east side entrance of the park after a quick LIRR train ride. We started off by taking some adorable photos in front of classic monuments and landmarks, capturing the essence of New York City. The weather was perfect, and the lighting was just right, making the photos absolutely stunning.

One of our final shots was taken in front of Gray's Papaya on the west side. Gray's is a New York City landmark and has been serving delicious hot dogs and refreshing drinks since 1973. We couldn't resist taking a photo in front of it because it's such an iconic spot.

During the engagement session, we also visited some of the most famous locations in Central Park, including Bethesda Fountain, John Lennon's last residence, Bow Bridge, the arches, and Literary Walk. Each location provided a unique and stunning backdrop for the couple's photos.

Samantha and Gabriel were amazing to work with, and I cannot wait to see them on their big day at Three Village Inn later this year. It's going to be a beautiful wedding, and I am honored to be a part of it.

In conclusion, Central Park is a beautiful location for an engagement session, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to capture the essence of New York City. With its iconic locations and stunning scenery, it's no wonder why Samantha and Gabriel chose it for their engagement session.
