Capturing a couple’s story is one of my favorite things about being a photographer! I always love when the engagement session showcases the couple’s life during the wedding planning season, and Sarah & James’ situation was no different! When I first met Sarah & her mother to talk all things wedding plans, we chatted about how she and James met & live in New York City. Immediately, I knew if they chose to do an engagement session, New York would be the perfect spot, especially in the fall! They would be getting married in Aiken, SC, a place near and dear to Sarah & her family’s heart, but what fun it would be to have a few photos in the city to add to their home.

While I was there, New York pulled out all the stops on the gorgeous level (and on the record breaking low temperatures for the day!), and Sarah & James’ style couldn’t have been more perfect. Can we just talk about her hat & coat? I need!

It may have been quite chilly, but these two were huge troopers, and the cold just encouraged more snuggly, cozy photos!  I couldn’t love the results more – these two look absolutely classic & effortless strolling through Madison Square Park and Central Park with the city in the backdrop! I simply can’t wait for their wedding in May at The Reserve Club at Woodside Plantation! Excited to celebrate these two!
