Esther & Andrew’s DUMBO & Brooklyn Bridge Engagement Shoot, NYC

Esther and Andrew are officially getting married in Korea, but before making the trip across the Pacific, they wanted to do a portrait and engagement shoot in Brooklyn. And with summer in NYC, if you want to avoid the crowds and the high temps, we had to do the photo shoot at sunrise. Not only was the light pretty amazing, but a couple of young guys were cruising around in their McLaren and graciously allowed us to do a couple photos with the car. You never see these types of cars in NYC. The roads have too many potholes and road plates that it would be a nightmare to drive. So it was a very fortunate surprise for us.

DUMBO & Brooklyn Bridge Park Engagement Shoot – Erin & Taylor

I’m lucky to live in the greater NYC area! You know why? There are just so many great locations for an engagement shoot! It’s really quite ridiculous! I mean, any good photographer should be able to make nearly any location work, but NYC is just amazing. And despite its plethora (yes, I just used the word plethora) of great locations, the DUMBO / Brooklyn Bridge Park (on the Brooklyn side) is always a classic location. It’s the NYC that you expect to see when you visit NY and it will never go out of style, so long as the building developers don’t mess with its soul.

So when Erin and Taylor asked to do their engagement shoot in Dumbo, it was an obvious yes. And they wanted to take a little NYC back with them when they do their wedding in Illinois, next year.

jackie & ryan engagement – new york, ny

Clark Kent, that man in tights we’ve grown to admire, met the love of his life, Lois Lane, while working at the Daily Planet. But I digress, while at the Daily Planet, Clark masqueraded as the Man of Steel and his heart secretly longed for Lois. As Superman, he was always there to save her life, while fighting the urge to reveal his true identity. Ryan is very much like Superman minus the tights, super powers, and affinity to swoop in out of no where. He’s unabashedly a hopeless romantic, that crossed paths with Jackie while working at a newspaper. And while she was oblivious to his affection at first, weeks and months went by and their love grew. Much like Lois and Clark, Lois eventually realized that Superman and Clark were one in the same. He may not have a big “S” on his chest like in the comics, but he is Superman to Jackie and she is Lois to him.
