Kat and Sarah are counting down the days until their October wedding at Rocky Fork Hunt and Country Club, and I couldn't be more excited to document their love story. These two live in NYC, so when they reached out wanting their engagement session to capture the essence of their life there, I was all in! I flew out to the city, and we had the best time together, exploring their favorite spots and soaking in every joyful moment.

The Perfect Morning in Central Park

Making our way through its most iconic locations, we started the morning at Central Park, while making sure to stop and pet every adorable puppy we passed. (Kat and Sarah are eagerly waiting for the day they can get a pup of their own!) The morning light and quieter paths gave us the perfect setting to capture their love in the heart of the city.

From Greenwich Village to the Legendary Cubbyhole Bar

Next, we documented another quintessential part of their NYC life—the subway. We took photos at their subway stop before hopping on a train to Greenwich Village. Along the way, I captured the energy of the city as they laughed and held onto each other, a beautiful reflection of their everyday moments. We made a stop at Cubbyhole Bar, a legendary lesbian bar in the Village, before strolling past charming brownstones, adding a touch of classic New York architecture to their gallery.

To wrap up our session in true NYC fashion, we jumped in a cab and made our way to Joe’s Pizza for a celebratory slice. There’s something so special about sharing a meal together, and this moment was no different—it was the perfect way to end a day full of love, laughter, and adventure.

Counting Down to October at The Rocky Fork Hunt and Country Club

I can’t even begin to describe how much joy this session brought me. Seeing the deep respect and love these two share was a privilege to witness and document.

October can’t come soon enough! I can’t wait to celebrate with Kat and Sarah as they say "I do" in the presence of all those who love them most.
