Rachel + Adam's NYC Engagement Session around Battery Park and the West Village

My visit to NYC last month brought me to many places for photo sessions with 3 of my amazing 2018 wedding clients. First up was a photo session with Rachel and Adam around areas of Manhattan that have been so special to them over the years. We met up at their now former apartment building for some beautiful rooftop views of the Statue of Liberty and the Hudson, and then headed down to Battery Park which was thankfully quiet for an early Saturday morning session. We wandered gardens and toughed some slightly windy conditions along the waterfront, before taking an Uber up to the West Village. There, we wandered charming, quiet streets with brownstones to drool over for days, took a stroll through another beautiful garden, and then wrapped up with one of Rachel and Adam's favorite things: breakfast at a diner! It was the perfect morning getting to know these two and I loved hearing how their lives took them from being Buffalo area natives, to Syracuse where they met, and now planning their next chapter as hubs and wife as they're currently living in NYC. I can't wait to document their wedding back here in Buffalo next summer! In the meantime, please enjoy a few favorites from this session (and try not to fall too in love with Rachel's dress while you're here)!
