I woke up at 4:30am for this session and the sunrise did not disappoint! I’m shooting Rob + Sam’s wedding on Long Island in September and since I was visiting a friend on Staten Island in April, I was able to do their engagement session in Manhattan. We started at sunrise to avoid all the tourists and it was cold, but so worth having the bridge and streets mostly to ourselves.

We first started on the Brooklyn Bridge to catch the sun rising over the horizon and I love how it bathed Rob + Sam in a warm, golden light.

After the Brooklyn Bridge, we went through the subway and out into the Financial District streets to explore the city and came across a Prismatic NYC installation.

I cannot wait to see these two again for their Long Island, NY wedding!
