NYC Engagement Photos/Lo & Sam

NYC Engagement Photos/Lo & Sam

I love shooting NYC Engagement Photos!  Not only are there so many great locations to choose from in the actual city, there are some fantastic locations to be found in Queens and in Brooklyn.  Take for example Lo & Sam’s engagement shoot.  Lo and I know each other from coaching at World Ice Arena in Flushing Meadows Park, NY  (Here’s a little tidbit of personal information about myself, when I am not shooting I also work as a figure skating coach) so when we discussed location ideas for the engagement session I was pretty excited that they were thinking about doing it in Flushing Meadows Park.  The park is a lot larger than you can imagine and there is so much to do.  It is so large that it stretches along two sides of the Grand Central Parkway.  First, if  you don’t already know and you are not a tennis fan, it is home to the USTA which hosts the US Open Tennis Tournament each September.  In addition to that there is also a museum, theatre, a zoo, golf, miniature golf, a skating rink and a swimming pool and of course there is the iconic Worlds Fair Unisphere.  And of course let’s not forget CitiField.

We were really blessed with great weather on the day of their shoot.  We originally scheduled the week before but it was quite nasty, cold, dreary with on and off rain and had to postpone the shoot.  We started by taking a few photos near the museum and then took a walk near the World’s Fair Unisphere to capture some photos there.  We finished just as the sun was going down capturing some photos near some cherry blossoms.  I was quite happy that  I stumbled upon them as they were not there the week before.  What a difference a week makes!  It certainly made the postponement worth it.  :o)
