Erika and Anthony chose an exceptional setting for their engagement photoshoot. Central Park holds a special significance for many photographers, myself included, as it marks the starting point of our professional journeys. Its blend of nature, stunning architecture, and vibrant energy makes it an ideal backdrop, not to mention it's freely accessible to all. Typically, I recommend beginning an engagement session an hour before the golden hour commences, as the sunlight fades behind the skyline relatively quickly.



















We kicked off the session near the park's 72nd street entrance, by the iconic Strawberry Fields, then gradually made our way towards the heart of the park as the sunlight gently shifted towards the Bethesda Fountain. By the time we reached this spot, the light bathed everything in a truly spectacular glow, resulting in photos that truly speak for themselves.
















 To add an extra touch of romance, we indulged in a brief gondola ride around the Central Park lake from the iconic Boat House, creating a scene straight out of a fairytale!
