Elegant Spring Central Park Engagement Session

 

Vivian and Brian are engaged! This spring, we met up in Central Park for a beautiful engagement session right in the heart of NYC. We had a truly gorgeous day exploring the park together and I’m excited to share it all with you today! 

We started our session near the Bethesda Fountain, one of my favorite landmarks in the park. Vivian had a beautiful Zimmerman floral dress on and it was just perfect for their spring portraits! I loved the pastel colors and flowers all along the skirt. It was elegant and just said “spring”! Brian looked relaxed in his own outfit - smiling at Vivian and making her laugh all morning. 

After hanging out around the fountain, we moved onto the Bethesda Terrace and staircase. I love portraits that feature movement, so Vivian and Brian walked and danced all around the steps. Photographing engagement sessions at Central Park is always a lot of fun for me. It’s a common location in the city but there’s always something SO magical about this spot. We ended Vivian and Brian’s session on the famous rock formation showing off NYC’s classic and beautiful skyline. 

Congratulations again, Vivian and Brian! I’m so happy I got to spend this lovely day with you in Central Park. It was absolutely wonderful to be with you both!
