A Romantic Start at the Model Boat Pond
Love that lasts a lifetime deserves to be celebrated in a way that’s just as timeless. This beautiful couple, visiting from Georgia, chose the heart of Manhattan to mark their 25th wedding anniversary—and what better place than Central Park in the spring to honor such a milestone?
We began our anniversary couples session at the Conservatory Water—more affectionately known as the Model Boat Pond. This serene location is a springtime gem in Central Park, framed by blooming cherry blossom trees and gentle reflections on the water’s surface. The soft pink and white petals created a natural canopy.
Iconic Beauty at Bethesda Fountain and Terrace
From there, we wandered to one of Central Park’s most historic and cinematic locations: Bethesda Terrace and Fountain. With its grand staircases, intricate architecture, and sweeping views of The Lake, this area is a favorite among photographers for good reason.
As the light shifted in the late afternoon, it painted the sandstone columns and arches in a warm, golden hue. Bethesda Terrace offered the perfect blend of old-world romance and architectural beauty, making it an ideal setting for commemorating a love that has stood the test of time.
Capturing the Spirit of Spring in Central Park
Central Park in spring is nothing short of enchanting. From flowering trees and scenic bridges to tranquil waters and lush greenery, every corner offers a cinematic backdrop that feels both intimate and grand. We aimed to highlight some of the most iconic and picturesque locations in Central Park, blending candid emotion with sweeping landscapes to create a gallery of images that felt timeless, elegant, and uniquely them.
