Meatpacking District

Jacob and Ashley's West Village Engagement Session

The most asked question: “Where should we take our engagement photos?”

My go to answer is pick a place with meaning and significance to you both. If you spent every Sunday getting to know one another in Central Park, then let’s photograph your NYC Engagement photos in Central Park. Or pick a place that matches your look and feel. For Jacob and Ashley, the West Village and the Meat Packing District checked all of the boxes.

NYC provides so many different looks and feels within a short distance. You can walk in those heels during your engagement session and conquer.

On today’s engagement session, we started off in the Meatpacking District, walked along the High Line, and then wound up in the West Village. We captured the cobblestone streets, great architecture, design, and some of New York City’s most iconic views.

Knowing your couple, allows you to know their style.

Having photographed their surprise proposal last Spring on Pier 17, I had gotten to know Jacob and Ashley’s style; simple and down to earth. We chose the Meatpacking District Manhattan for it’s timeless look, and then we coordinated on outfits. Ashely wanted something that would pop amongst the grays of the city and the grey of the day, and she totally rocked it. Jacob, wanted comfortable, but a little more fun. He also wanted to compliment his fiance. Success!

Meatpacking Proposal NYC | Rice + Sarah

The Best NYC Proposal Photographer …

Photographing a marriage proposal involves a great guy, an amazing girl, and a plan. How and where will you propose are the top questions I ask clients. From the start, Rice knew how he was going to propose and where. He made my job of planning and photographing their proposal in the Meatpacking District of NYC easy and fun.

Knowing when to propose

The second Rice and Sarah stopped walking, passing by New Yorkers and tourists alike knew Rice was going to propose. Sarah on the other hand did not. She was SHOCKED as Rice got down on one knee! Photographing their proposal was genuinely exciting.

Engagement Session Photos

Post proposal, I photographed the newly engaged couple along the iconic cobble stone streets with a few simple poses. Having the honor of photographing a just engaged couple is a lot of fun and super easy. I never have to ask a couple to smile. The energy I capture in my photos is 100% real.
