If you’re not from the New York area, you might think I was making fun of the couple. DUMBO is an extremely popular location for engagement photos, a few spots are instantly recognizable by other photographers or locals. Though the locations are similar, I think each couple can bring a new taste to the photos based on their style and personality. My next lens will most likely be a tilt-shift lens.

You never know what you’re results will come from photo shoots even though you go to the same locations throughout the course of a year. Flowers will blossom and fade, the rain may visit, the colors of the scenery can dramatically change, and construction sites may even decide to find a new territory. Sometimes, just sometimes, you may even spot a celebrity.

These were taken at Central Park, with the girl wearing an lilac vintage dress. Though I usually frown upon soft filter effects, I felt the need to add some to this old fashioned styled shoot to complete the effect. The glow from the water sparkles are layers of white paintbrushing in Photoshop.
