Manhattan Engagement Session: From Brownstones to Holywater NYC


This Manhattan engagement session captured the perfect mix of classic New York charm and personal memories. It began on iconic brownstone-lined streets, where the Sarah Anne and Jesse strolled hand-in-hand, stopping for candid photos against red brick facades, iron railings, and cobblestone streets. The natural poses and timeless backdrop highlighted their connection effortlessly.


The session ended at Holywater NYC in Tribeca—the first bar they visited after getting engaged. Known for its nautical theme and craft cocktails, the bar's warm lighting and vintage decor set the scene for intimate photos. Their smiles, toasts, and laughter were captured in a way that felt both genuine and romantic.


Blending city charm with personal history, this session offered the perfect inspiration for a New York engagement shoot with meaning and style.
