These Central Park engagement photos in NYC with Aolani and Cody were absolutely stunning! I love that we combined their engagement and maternity session – capturing two incredible milestones at once made this shoot extra special. Being able to document both their engagement and growing family in the heart of the city created such beautiful, meaningful moments!
Upscale City-Chic Engagement & Maternity Photos
Aolani and Cody wanted an upscale city chic vibe for their shoot, so we chose one of NYC’s most iconic locations: Central Park. They specifically requested shots on the stairs, by the fountain, and under the bridge with its gorgeous arches. Each spot came out absolutely stunning, and I loved how the classic architecture perfectly framed their love for one another.
Their outfits brought the whole vision together beautifully. Aolani wore a white fitted dress that showcased her bump, paired with a long grey peacoat. Cody complemented her perfectly in a neutral outfit with a black jacket. We added those quintessential NYC accessories – sunglasses and a coffee cup – to complete their city-chic look.
The sweetest part was watching their interactions throughout the session. They shared such an easy, fun, and lighthearted dynamic, constantly giggling together while Cody dotingly cared for Aolani. Even though Central Park was crowded (thank goodness for editing skills!), they were in their own world, and that kind of love shines through in every photo.
Some of my favorite shots include the grand photo of them walking down the stairs – it has such an elegant feel to it. I also love the walking shots that captured their natural, cool demeanor, especially the one with blurred birds in the background, which added such a classic NYC moment.
