A Love Story Years in the Making: A NYC Engagement Session
A Beauty Creator’s Journey to Love
Before I met R & C in person, I knew R from a distance. As a beauty content creator from Vancouver, he shared his passion for skincare, self-care, and confidence on YouTube. His journey wasn’t just about beauty—it was about authenticity, transformation, and self-love.
Over the years, I watched his artistry evolve, his voice in the beauty space growing stronger. So when he reached out to book a New York City engagement session, it felt surreal—like life had come full circle.
A Love That Crossed Borders
R’s journey led him to C, a fashion professional from New York City. They met through an app, but their connection quickly became something real.
Instead of relying on texts and video calls, they booked flights. Vancouver to NYC, NYC to Vancouver—love in transit, love in motion. Their relationship thrived on weekends spent in each other’s cities, sharing pieces of their worlds, and proving that distance is no match for true love.
A Romantic Proposal in New York City
One year after their first meeting, New York became the place where forever began. In the heart of the city that had witnessed their love grow, C proposed.
With their sphynx cat, Linda, watching from the sidelines, R said yes. It was the perfect moment—intimate yet grand, sentimental yet effortless. Just like them.
Capturing Their Love Through Iconic NYC Locations
When planning their engagement session, I wanted to capture the essence of their journey. Their love blended the city’s energy with the quiet intimacy of nature, and the locations we chose reflected that balance.
Central Park – Romance in the Heart of NYC
We started in Central Park, where the trees softened the towering skyline. They shared a warm pretzel, laughing as they pulled it apart. A small but meaningful moment—a reminder of ease in the midst of a fast-paced city.
On Bow Bridge, they stood together, framed by autumn leaves and shimmering water. The city loomed in the background, yet in that moment, it felt like it was just the two of them.
Upper East Side – Nostalgia and New Beginnings
Next, we walked to Lincoln Center, a place filled with memories—late-night walks, whispered dreams, and quiet moments in the chaos.
Here, surrounded by sleek architecture and soft golden lights, they moved effortlessly. Fashion and beauty merged with the timeless elegance of the Upper East Side, creating a picture-perfect backdrop.
Brooklyn Bridge – A Cinematic Ending
As the session came to a close, we made our way to the Brooklyn Bridge. Under a full moon, the city shimmered in the distance. The East River reflected the city lights, creating a dreamlike setting.
It was a poetic way to end—standing on a bridge that connected two boroughs, just as their love had bridged two cities. Cinematic, breathtaking, and beautifully them.
Love in Every Frame
This engagement session wasn’t just about capturing photos—it was about telling a love story through the city that shaped them. I wanted to reflect the energy of New York—the fast-paced movement, steel and stone, but also the intimacy found in its quiet corners.
R & C’s love story is a testament that distance doesn’t define a relationship. When you find the right person, love will always find its way.
And for them, this is just the beginning.
