You’re engaged, Congratulations! The road to matrimony will prove to be one of the most exciting journeys of your life thus far! You’ve probably taken 100 “selfies” of your ring and already changed your status on Facebook to “Engaged”, but before you pick out the dress and set the date, be sure to take some time to enjoy this special time in your life. There are hundreds of wedding blogs out there (knot.com, stylemepretty.com and brides.com to name a few) that will give you tons of ideas about what to do after you’ve accepted a proposal, however there are some suggestions for what-not-to do after you get engaged as well that may save you some time (and money) in the process.

Prospect Park is beautiful in the fall! The tree leaves have changed from green to an amber hue, the ponds are quiet and it’s not as crowded as the summertime. You’ll find elderly people sitting on the park benches reading the morning paper, tourist taking “selfies” in front of the beautiful fountain in Grand Army Plaza and of course engaged couples having their photos taken by our awesome team members! Our photographers had a great time shooting this animal loving couple, Lana & Utka this past fall and they even brought along their adorable cocker spaniel puppy (he will serve as the ring bearer for their springtime Bronx Zoo wedding).

A great way to personalize your engagement photos is to bring in elements that are special to you as a couple. Our photographers have had a blast shooting couples playing football on The Great lawn in Central Park (in opposing team jersey’s of course), in the NYC transit museum (they met at work as MTA employees) Madison Square Garden (on the hockey ice!) and even in the book lined aisles of Strand for our avid readers (great discount bookstore in Union Square by the way). Whatever it is that makes you special as a couple, incorporating that into your engagement shoot is always a great idea and makes for great photos. So don’t overthink it, just do what comes naturally and your photos are sure to be perfect as was the case with this adorable couple, Dyesha & John.

The Le Image team will also be there when these two say I DO!
