Sarah & Anthony’s Engagement Portraits: Upper East Side & Central Park

Sarah & Anthony are engaged to be married at Shadow Lawn in High Falls this coming fall. For their engagement portraits they wanted to capture a slice of their life here in the city, and since they have an adorable young dog and live in a picturesque block of the Upper East side just a short walk from Central Park, naturally I met them at their place. We started with a short dog-walk and some portraits as a family on their stoop and in front of the famous Lexington Candy Shop, a.k.a. Luncheonette Diner at the corner of their block. Then we walked to Central Park, hitting the stairs outside The Met and some other cool spots we saw along the way (I couldn’t resist shooting with this beautiful fountain, for example!). Despite the strange now-it’s-spring-just-kidding-it’s-still-winter weather we had been having this particular session fell on what was surely one of our very few perfect spring days this year, so the park was gorgeous and Sarah and Anthony enjoyed walking around with me as we hit some pretty spots by a pond and up near Belvedere Castle and the Shakespeare Garden. I couldn’t be more excited to shoot this wonderful couple’s wedding in October! Congratulations Sarah and Anthony!
