Meeting up with Chris and Catherine on the iconic upper east side is a way I’d like to spend ANY random Monday evening!
We started our shoot at the stunning Carl Schurz Park, where there was just a buzz in the air with everyone enjoying their post-work strolls. The park’s hidden corners and winding paths gave us endless opportunities to get more intimate shots and a beautiful balance of city and nature.
After exploring the park, we made our way down to one of NYC’s most famous landmarks—the Metropolitan Museum of Art (The MET). This is a cant-miss spot on the UES so of course we had to shoot on the grand front steps! Along the way, we made pit-stops at some beautiful brownstones, talked a lot, and got alllll of our steps in for the day.
I LIVE for couples and engagement sessions in NYC and I’m so thrilled about spending this time with Catherine and Chris. Interested in booking your NYC session? Let’s talk about it!
