The three of us were all on the same page on how to go about with their New York City engagement shoot: NYC - Manhattan in particular - should be recognizable, without being too familiar or too touristy; chill, because we were two days shy of their wedding day; and, lastly, unabashedly run & gun because of the inevitable: the holiday crowd, shameless photobombers (seriously dudes, just don't), and a very steep exponential decay of daylight, from golden hour and deep darkness in... *ahem* a New York minute. Hello, New York in autumn.
