Cozy Bethesda Fountain Engagement Session with NYC Wedding Photographer

Jan 10, 2025

As an NYC Wedding Photographer, it doesn’t get any better than a cozy Bethesda Fountain engagement session was absolutely stunning. We are still not over this wardrobe’s rich mahogany and wine tones. The wardrobe for this session was such a dream, as was the beautiful couple!

Cozy Bethesda Fountain Engagement Session with NYC Wedding Photographer

We started our session with tons of portraits of the bride, and they look like they were freshly picked from a fall/winter Ralph Lauren catalog. The vibes were so good, and the silk scarf completed the bride’s look. She looked so chic and timeless and was a breeze to photograph!

The light also played a main character in this session, especially during the bride’s solo portraits on the steps near the fountain. We had to pop over to one of my favorite spots for portraits with the frescos.

Posing In Central Park

You really can’t beat an engagement session in Central Park. It’s quintessential NYC, and the variety is unparalleled. Sometimes, it even feels like taking a walk in Europe, and you all know how much we love that!

We rounded out this session with cozy couple portraits in and around the park. We made our way back to the fountain and felt right at home. These stairs at Bethesda Fountain are one of my favorite backdrops for any type of portrait, but it’s delightful for couples!

This autumn day couldn’t have been more perfect with Britt Jones Co! She knocked it out of the park (pun intended) with this one, and Central Park is the ideal location for engagement photos! NYC, we love you!
