Just a hop, skip and a jump from Lower Manhattan, and even closer to Brooklyn, lies Governors Island. Nestled in the heart of New York Harbor, this scenic, 172-acre gem is the perfect setting for New York couples looking to escape the bustling city life for a quiet and quaint location for their engagement photography session.

That’s exactly what Annie and Matthew had in mind for their shoot. Annie looked like she was made for that picturesque setting as she rocked a classic white dress - one of the top trends for engagement photography. Matthew looked dapper yet relaxed in a navy suit accented with pops of color by way of his blue and red gingham shirt.

For a variety of shots and a more laid-back vibe, these New York sweethearts changed into jeans after their dressy looks. Annie opted for a blush-colored floral lace tee and Matthew wore a blue pinstripe shirt.

As they strolled along lush, tree-lined streets, their engagement photographer full captured their love. Annie and Matthew got creative with their surroundings and used a hammock, charming yellow Victorian home and a field of colorful flags as unique props during their session.
