Engagement Photos You’ll Love: From NYC Streets to Berkshires Trails

by Christopher | Jun 24, 2025 | Albums, Engagement

Spring engagement season has been so sweet, and each session has felt totally unique.

From golden-hour walks in New York City to cozy mornings in the Berkshires, there’s been so much love and anticipation in the air.

I’ve had the chance to photograph couples in meaningful places and tell their story in a way that feels personal and true.

Melissa & Eric (New York Public Library, NYC)

This session felt timeless. The steps of the NYPL, the quiet moments in Midtown… it was like the city paused for just a bit to celebrate Melissa & Eric. Their NYC engagement photos are full of elegance and warmth.

Lauren & Zack (Reston, VA)

Lauren & Zack brought me to their home in Reston, where we made photos in their kitchen, dressed up for a little fun, and then caught golden light at the golf course nearby. This session was a great mix of personal and playful.

Anna & Nate (Great Barrington, MA)

These two are the essence of Berkshire charm. Their engagement photos in Great Barrington were full of soft light and natural beauty, and I loved capturing a little slice of their love story in a place that means so much to them.

Leah & Travis (Potomac Labyrinth Park, DC)

Their engagement session was peaceful and simple in the best way. The park in Washington, DC gave us space to slow down and enjoy the moment, and their connection came through so clearly in the photos.

Marisa & Vin (Lower Manhattan, NYC)

We moved through Lower Manhattan from the New York Stock Exchange to the Hudson River. Their engagement photos feel elegant and calm, full of quiet moments in a city they call home.

Brittany & John (Brooklyn Botanic Garden, NYC)

This session was straight out of a rom-com. Spring blooms, cherry blossoms, and the sweetest looks between Brittany & John. Their engagement session felt lighthearted and classic.

Mary & Patrick (Boonton, NJ)

Their session was just the two of them, at home, being themselves. Mary & Patrick’s photos are full of love and laughter, and I think that makes for some of the most meaningful images.

Shannon & Michael (Cold Spring, NY)

We made these photos at Little Stony Point Beach, with the Hudson River and mountains behind us. It was a relaxed, romantic session that felt totally grounded in nature.

Bella & Stephen (New Canaan, CT)

We started in the Olive and George Lee Memorial Garden, surrounded by wooded trails, then headed to the beach where the fog made everything feel soft and dreamlike. It was quiet and ethereal and so special.

Edgerton Park gave us a backdrop that felt easy and full of heart. Dahlia and Eitan’s session had a grounded feel, full of ease and connection.

Rachel & Ben (Gantry Plaza State Park, LIC)

The Manhattan skyline was the backdrop for their session in Long Island City. We ended with them in jeans, adding another layer to the photos that felt playful and honest.

Karli & Josh (Umpachene Falls, MA)

We started at Karli’s childhood home, then walked through the woods to Umpachene Falls. They changed into overalls and embraced the water and greenery. It was full of nostalgia and adventure.

Catherine & Phillip (Brooklyn Promenade, NYC)

We wandered along the Brooklyn Promenade on a misty morning under blooming trees. The Manhattan skyline peeked through the fog, giving their photos a dreamy, romantic feel.
