2011 Jul 17: Engagement Photography | NYC | Cameron & Brian

Cameron and Brian are about the sweetest couple you could meet. They just graduated from med school and wanted to do their engagement shoot in NYC before moving to San Francisco. They wanted some very New Yorky photos – and you can’t get much more New Yorky than Central Park and the Brooklyn Bridge, right? :)

It’s funny because we were wrapping up in Central Park and had to hurry to make it to the Brooklyn Bridge before sunset, when in-between shots, a gentleman struck up a conversation with me about photography and becoming a professional photographer. I always relish the opportunity to talk photography to anyone, anytime, so I was happy to chat for a bit, but the whole time I was thinking about how we only had about 30 minutes to get down to the bridge to catch the sunset. I didn’t want to keep Cam & Brian waiting and potentially miss it, so I had to cut our conversation short.

We got down to the Brooklyn Bridge a little later than planned, and in true NYC fashion I was feeling a little hurried/stressed. But by the time we got out onto the bridge, we were hit with this incredible light that we might not even have had if we hadn’t been running late.

That’s always how it is though, isn’t it? We plan, we rush, we hurry, we worry – and usually it all works out in the end. I’d say it more than worked out for us with this shoot :)
