New York City is a place where love stories flourish, and for the newly engaged Haley and Tom, their DUMBO engagement session was a celebration of their current chapter in the big city. Both new to NYC, they wanted their engagement photos to capture the essence of their new home, and DUMBO—with its iconic Manhattan bridge view and cobblestone streets—provided the perfect New Yorky backdrop.

There’s something about DUMBO in the early morning light that’s literally magical. Despite getting up at insanely early, the three of us were buzzing with excitement and energy as we met before the sun rose to beat the crowds. The result? An engagement session filled with laughter, candid moments, and the infectious energy of a couple in love.

The mood of the session was unapologetically fun. We strolled through the scenic streets, shared stories of our semi-recent moves, and captured the kind of spontaneous, joyful moments that only a place like New York City could inspire.

For those who are feeling the love and dreaming of their own NYC engagement shoot, whether it’s in the picturesque streets of DUMBO or another iconic location across the city, let’s talk. Reach out to book your session and make your own engagement magic.
