To continue from my previous post, the following day in New York City was something that I had been looking forward to for awhile! After a morning spent walking all over the city (probably over a 100 blocks in all), I met up with Ingrid and Aaron in Grand Central Station. I’ve wanted to shoot an engagement session in New York City for awhile as there are so many cool/artsy/unique settings and I finally found the perfect couple to do this with! One of the first things Ingrid told me about Aaron was that he loves photography and has a unique interest for camera bags (and latter I found out he loves to collect picture frames as well). So I knew right off the back this would be a perfect fit as they are both great looking, appreciate photography as I do, can be spontaneous and show their fun loving side! So to start off I had an idea in my head for quite awhile, and when Ingrid suggested meeting in Grand Central Station I new this would be the perfect place …
I love the concept that when your in love it sometimes feels like time stands still and everyone else becomes a blur around you. For just a moment your completely focused on one person with many feelings that you can’t explain and for that one moment it seems like nothing else matters. If you were to picture that moment I feel it would look something like this:
Then I thought about what the moment after would be and Ingrid & Aaron seemed to answer that question for me as they started to dance in the middle of Grand Central Station.
Of course it couldn’t last forever, so we headed to Central Park and had a little fun in the Subway on the way.
It definitely was not hard for them to show the love!
I’m definitely looking forward to seeing some fun dancing at their wedding in a few weeks!
When I saw this bridge I knew I was in for a treat! All of a sudden it felt like we were in Spain.
The art was amazing and I felt I would be amiss not keeping with the artsy theme. As you can see Aaron and Ingrid are not afraid of a little dipping action!
We then headed up to Ingrid’s friend’s rooftop for the most amazing view overlooking Central Park and the New York City skyline!
A little homage to Rose from the Titanic.
A little dramatic lighting for a dramatic sunset!
Then afterwards we met up with some of their friends for a little Chinese food!
… and later Aaron and I stayed up until almost 3:30 chatting about photography! I was truly a great day and I’m really looking forward to their wedding in a few weeks!
