Lauren and Greg's engagement session was photographed in New York City by Acromatico, a family-run South Florida and NYC photography studio. The couple chose New York because it's where their relationship began, and the session went forward through summer rain ahead of their Miami wedding that August.
Lauren and Greg asked Acromatico to travel north and photograph their engagement session in New York City, the place where their relationship first took hold. New York isn't a city the studio shoots in every day, so the request was a welcome one. A summer rain moved in during the session, the kind familiar to anyone who has spent a July afternoon in South Florida, but it didn't slow the couple down.
At the time this session was photographed, Lauren and Greg's Miami wedding was still to come, planned for that August. Their New York engagement portraits were made first, in the city tied to the start of their story.
“They chose this spot because this is where their love bloomed.”
Good to know
New York City spans five boroughs, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island, and offers an unusually deep range of engagement-session backdrops within a small footprint: Central Park's meadows and bridges, the brownstone streets of the West Village and Brooklyn Heights, the waterfront promenades along the East River with Manhattan's skyline behind them, and landmark spaces like Grand Central Terminal. Couples who, like Lauren and Greg, choose New York because it's where their relationship began often pick the specific block, park, or corner that holds personal meaning rather than the most photographed icon.
New York summers bring fast-moving afternoon showers, and Lauren and Greg's session was photographed through exactly that kind of rain. A flexible shot list, a couple of covered backup locations, and a willingness to keep going when the sky opens up all help. Acromatico is a family-run photography and brand studio founded in 2004, working across South Florida and New York City with a dark fine-art aesthetic, so destination sessions and changeable conditions are familiar territory.
