Getting engaged is one of the most exciting moments of your life. The whirlwind of love and support that surrounds you is magical, and I love seeing all of my couples planning their day – from wedding dress shopping, to choosing vendors, to taking your engagement photos!

Engagement photos are such an important part of your journey, because it’s an absolutely incredible chapter in your love story that tells of where you’ve been, where you’re going, and what the rest of your life will lead you! Whether you’ve been waiting forever for him to pop the question, or if everything was a crazy blur, getting engaged is a moment you’ll never forget, and commemorating it with gorgeous photos that tell the story of who you both are in love will forever be imprinted in your heart (and photo album!).

Grace + Rich met about nine years ago while working on the same shift at work. After becoming amazing friends, Rich asked Grace’s mom if he could take her on a date (how absolutely adorable!?), and from there, they flourished together in love. Although they have both experienced tons of ups and downs in their lives, they’ve always been each other’s anchor – holding fast as a constant in both of their lives. And, after a super surprise proposal in front of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree (dreamy!!!) with hundreds of New Yorkers looking on, the rest is gorgeous history! I just love this story, don’t you!?

Grace + Rich, I absolutely loved your stunning golden hour session at Peconic Herb Farm (my favorite place ever!), and I am so excited for you both. I can’t wait to see you two grow together in love, and, I may be biased, but I couldn’t be happier that you got engaged! Cheers to the best days ever together!
