I spent about a week in New York, shooting some engagement sessions and a wedding with a photographer friend. Julie and Mat are a wonderful couple I met quite a long while ago, and despite having their wedding here in Chicago, we elected to change things up a bit and do their engagement session in New York, where Mat lives. If you’re planning a trip to another city or if you and your fiance are in a long distance relationship, it might be worth asking your photographer if they’re planning any trips that might coincide with yours, as a new and different locale can make for an exciting few hours of shooting for both the couple and the photographer. Here are some favourites from their session!

One last fun one. :)
