This was a gorgeous, sun-drenched couple shoot! We drove down to the beach in New Jersey to do an engagement session with Nicole and Chris.

We can truly call this family an IHNY family as this isn’t our first, second, or even third session with them! Let’s just say we’ve shot these adorable kids since Anzalee was pregnant with them. For this shoot, we took them to Williamsburg’s new hangout addition and the kids’ new playground: Domino Park.

Our favorite part about shooting proposals has got to be capturing the heartfelt, on-the-spot reactions of the one being proposed to! Congratulations to this couple on their engagement as well as the Heartbandits team for another great Times Square proposal.

Soledad, Lexi, and Steffi were a lovely family experiencing New York City together for the first time. They had never even stepped foot in Central Park yet. Born and raised in Hong Kong, this family was a wonderfully unique and well-traveled trio! They have a family business in international airlines so they’re no strangers to travel.

It was a hot but totally glamorously fun shoot!

Alyson and Ashley were the ultimate BFFs. Both from Pennsylvania, they were here in the city enjoying a weekend away from home. The girls came to the shoot dressed in makeup and attire fit for the Pride parade they were excited to go to after our session. Alyson and Ashley loved posing together and their heartwarming friendship shined through in the photos as well as in person. They were a ton of fun!
