Engaged couple embracing on a New York City street

Steve + Natalie’s New York City Engagement Photos

Steve and Natalie are engaged, and so in love – I’ve genuinely never seen anybody look at someone the way Steve looks at Natalie.

Iconic New York, two ways

For their session, we skipped the quiet park bench and went straight for the city’s pulse: the NYC subway and the blinding lights of Times Square. It’s not the softest, most romantic setting on paper, but that’s exactly what made it feel right for these two – bold, a little chaotic, and completely unforgettable.

An engagement session built for the city that never sleeps

There’s something about photographing a couple against the noise and motion of New York that makes their connection stand out even more. Steve and Natalie moved through the crowds like it was second nature, stealing glances and laughing between subway cars and skyscrapers, and the result is a set of engagement photos that could only have been made in this city.

If you’re dreaming of engagement photos with real New York energy – subway grit, Times Square lights, all of it – I’d love to plan your session.
