Get comfortable

in front of the camera

High-quality professional photographs for your wedding website, your save-the-dates or a framed print on somebody’s wall — and a chance to practise posing together before the day that actually counts.

Shoots from $995

All high-resolution digital images

Central Park or anywhere in Manhattan

Talented local photographers

Since 2004


Nobody is naturally good in front of a camera. That’s what this is for.

An engagement shoot does two jobs. It gives you photographs you can actually use — for the wedding website, the save-the-dates, or framed as a gift — and it lets you experiment with poses as a couple before the wedding shoot, when there are guests watching and a schedule to keep. Most people arrive stiff and leave having forgotten the camera was there. Please note this is a photo shoot only and does not include a proposal.

Where to shoot

Where will you stand?

Each spot has its own light, its own crowd and its own best hour. Pick one and we’ll tell you the truth about it — or shoot several across a two-hour session.

Packages & pricing


Two lengths. One standard.

Both are photo shoots only and neither includes a proposal — if that’s what you’re after, our proposal packages handle it separately. Every shoot can take place in Central Park or another Manhattan location of your choosing.

A 50% deposit is required to book, with the balance due one week before your shoot date. If you book within 30 days of the date, the entire amount is due upfront. Please note that engagement photo shoots are not available on Saturdays. This is a photo shoot only — it does not include the actual proposal.

In every shoot


Eight things you won’t have to arrange

This is a shoot, not a proposal

Worth being clear about, because the two get confused. An engagement shoot is a booked session with a photographer where both of you know it’s happening. If you want the moment itself captured without them knowing, that’s a proposal package — different planning, different photographer brief, different price.

A talented local photographer

Someone who shoots in the park constantly and knows where the light falls.

Print-quality photographs

50 on the one-hour shoot, 75 to 100 on the two-hour.

All high-resolution digital images

Full-size files, yours to use however you like.

Delivered within two weeks

Edited and sent digitally within a fortnight of your session.

Your choice of location

Central Park, or another Manhattan location if you’d rather.

Ready for save-the-dates

Sized and edited for your wedding website, invitations or framed prints.

Time to relax into it

The first ten minutes are always the stiffest. That’s planned for.

Practice for the wedding shoot

Experiment with poses as a couple before the day that actually counts.

How it works


Four steps, and the first one takes a minute

STEP 01

Pick a date

Send us the date and which package you want. Note that shoots don’t run on Saturdays, so weekdays and Sundays are your options.

STEP 02

We call within 24 hours

We talk through locations, timing and the look you’re after, then take a 50% deposit to confirm the photographer.

STEP 03

Plan the shoot

We agree the route, the backdrops and the light. Balance is due a week before — or upfront if you booked inside 30 days.

STEP 04

Shoot, then wait two weeks

Turn up, forget the camera is there, and get your edited high-resolution gallery within two weeks of the session.

Custom add-ons


Build the rest of the shoot around it

Added to either package. If you have an idea that isn’t here, ask — most things are possible inside the park’s rules.

Before you book

Questions we’re asked every week

Does this include the proposal?

No. This is a photo shoot only and does not include the actual proposal. If you want the moment itself planned and photographed without them knowing, that’s our proposal package — a different service with different planning behind it.

50 print-quality photos on the one-hour shoot, and 75 to 100 on the two-hour. Either way you get all the high-resolution digital images, not a curated handful.

Within two weeks of your session, edited and delivered digitally. That’s the standard for both packages — worth knowing if you’re working to a save-the-date deadline.

Yes. The shoot can take place in Central Park or another Manhattan location of your choosing. Tell us what you have in mind and the photographer will plan a route around it.

A 50% deposit is required upfront to book, with the balance due one week before the shoot date. If you book within 30 days of your date, the entire amount is due upfront.

Engagement photo shoots aren’t available on Saturdays. Weekdays and Sundays both work, and weekday mornings are genuinely the best of them — better light and far fewer people in the background.

Tell us the date. We’ll tell you what’s free.

No obligation and no deposit to check. A planner replies within 24 hours with the photographers and locations still open on your date, and what each package would cost.
