We started the session in DUMBO to capture a view of Manhattan in the background. After capturing the sights, we headed to the iconic Joe’s Pizza where Virginia and Andrew ordered their favorite slices. The atmosphere was electric—a mix of tourists and locals, the smell of freshly baked pizza, and the hum of the city outside. As they laughed and shared slices, it was clear that this wasn’t just a photo session; it was a moment that felt authentically them.
The best part? Getting those candid shots of them feeding each other pizza, sauce on their smiles, and not a care in the world. This wasn’t about perfect poses or meticulously planned shots; it was about capturing the realness of their relationship. And nothing says real like a pizza date at Joe’s.
After devouring their slices, we took a short stroll to one of the nearby brownstones—another quintessential New York setting. These stoops have seen it all, from morning coffee runs to late-night chats, and now they were the backdrop for some truly memorable engagement photos.
As Virginia & Andrew sat on the steps, pizza boxes in hand, they looked right at home. The contrast between the elegance of the brownstone and the casual vibe of the pizza made for a perfect combination. It was a scene straight out of a rom-com, with the city as their co-star.
What made this session so special was how effortlessly it captured who Virginia and Andrew are as a couple. There was no pressure, no rush—just two people enjoying their favorite things in a place they love. These are the kinds of moments that tell a story, the moments that couples will look back on and remember not just the photos, but the fun they had.
If you’re looking to capture your own New York love story in a fun and relaxed way, I’d love to help bring your vision to life. Let’s explore the city together and create memories that you’ll cherish forever.
