Many of you know that New York has my heart. It’s easily one of my favorite places in the world, and if I weren’t living in Chicago there’s a good chance I’d be a NYC resident! Needless to say, I was thrilled that Sarah and Luke opted for New York City engagement photos while I was visiting in October!

These two reside in Manhattan and wanted photos close to home. Originally we had discussed visiting the Met and Central Park… however, the weather had different plans for us! We decided to embrace the rain, and I’m SO happy we did. Not being from New York this was a bit of a challenge, but thanks to Google (and some help from Sarah and Luke) we were able to put together a rain plan with a couple days’ notice.

I was so excited to be in New York, and Sarah and Luke made this session a breeze. We got to visit some iconic locations and create some really unique and romantic photos together! The Harry Potter show on Broadway even made a cameo appearance – Sarah made sure of it 🙂

Sarah and Luke: I’m so happy we were able to get together in NYC!! Can’t wait for your Chicago wedding next spring!

Looking for indoor photo locations in New York City? Here’s where we ended up (and a few other options I considered):

Grand Central Station
New York Public Library (we visited the Schwarzman building)
American Museum of Natural History
Steps of New York County Supreme Court building
Hotel Lobbies
Bars or Coffee shops (check out The Campbell located inside Grand Central!)
