There’s just something so magical about Central Park. It’s my absolute favorite part of New York City and it truly is amazing how peaceful and zen the entire park is when the hustle and bustle and skyscrapers of NY surround it. It truly feels like time and place do not exist there and it’s the perfect spot to spend a weekend morning. I met up with Mara & Doug a few weeks ago at the crack of dawn so we could have the entire place to ourselves! Mara wore a stunning long gown in the most beautiful red that she borrowed from Rent The Runway (which is such a great idea to get an amazing designer dress for your engagement session) and Doug wore a gray blazer and fitted black dress slacks. They looked so chic and it was the perfect compliment to the refined architecture of Bethesda Terrace & the Bow Bridge. We spent about two hours wandering the park because I just could. not. stop. taking photos!! It’s so inspiring to me to travel and photograph at places I’m not around all of the time because it fuels my creativity so much! Plus, it doesn’t hurt that these two were pros in front of the camera!! After their session we had a yummy breakfast at Maison Kayser on the Upper East Side before they headed to the airport to fly to Atlanta and I hopped on a train to Newport, RI! I’m so excited for their wedding and can’t wait to hang out with them again this November!!
