I would say this is my first 2016 spring photo shoot where things are starting to bloom, and the weather is finally starting to look up! I had the pleasure of getting together with Amanda and Steven, a lovely and fun couple whose wedding I'll be shooting at the end of May. Amanda is a teacher, and Steven works in forensics; they share a laid back attitude towards life, a great sense of humor, and a love for city outings and travel. It is such a breeze to work with them! We got together a few weeks ago to shoot their engagement photos. Amanda and Steven really wanted to have the experience in the Bryant Park area. They love the park, and have spent a lot of time there - it is also where Steven proposed to Amanda, right on the steps of the beautiful New York Public Library. I think the photos embrace their love and their laughter, and I can't wait to spend their wedding day with them soon! Here are some highlights from Steven and Amanda's engagement shoot...
