I’m so glad we didn’t cancel these central park engagement photos!

The forecast the day before wasn’t looking great, and we were seriously considering a reschedule. Ultimately we decided to go for it, and I’m so glad we did because that morning, Central Park gave us some of the best light I’ve seen in a while—soft, golden, and absolutely perfect for Laura and Raffaele’s central park engagement session.

We started at some of the most iconic spots in the park: Bow Bridge, Bethesda Terrace, and The Mall, all glowing in that early morning light. Laura wore a short white dress with blue florals that popped beautifully against the greenery, and Raffaele kept things sharp in light khaki pants and a navy blazer. They looked classy and chic!

As we made our way toward The Met, Laura changed into a sleek black dress. The backdrop of the museum added a clean, timeless feel to end the session—simple but elegant, which felt really true to them.

They’ll be getting married in Italy next fall, and after spending the morning with them, I can already tell it’s going to be something special!
