A Day in Central Park

Before Olivia and Marcus say “I do” at Jumping Brook Country Club next year, we spent a dreamy morning in the heart of New York City, celebrating their love story with an engagement session in Central Park.

There’s something about Central Park in the morning that feels timeless—quiet winding paths, golden light spilling through the trees, and the city just beginning to wake up. It was the perfect backdrop for these two, who wanted their photos to reflect both romance and a little touch of adventure.

We wandered through iconic spots, picture the Bow Bridge framed with greenery, and Bethesda Terrace with its classic architecture, while also pausing for those quieter, tucked-away corners where Olivia and Marcus could just be themselves. Their laughter was effortless, their smiles constant, and the way they looked at each other made it clear why they can’t wait for their wedding day.

Sessions like this are my favorite: relaxed, natural, and filled with genuine moments. Olivia and Marcus weren’t afraid to just enjoy the morning together, and the photos feel like a true reflection of their relationship,—warm, joyful, and completely in sync.

Next year, these two will be tying the knot at Jumping Brook Country Club, and I cannot wait to celebrate with them. Until then, this Central Park morning will forever be one of my favorite chapters in their love story.
