Tanya & Elise’s Brooklyn Bridge Park Promenade Couples Session Photography | Apollo Fields Engagement and Couple Photographer | NYC Weddings
September and October are always our busiest work months, and this year proves to be no exception, despite a global pandemic! We feel lucky to be working amidst such a crazy year— given it was only a few months ago back in April/May when we legitimately thought out loud, will we even shoot this year?
There have been so many curve balls, but an equal number of silver linings and for that, we are super grateful. Tanya and Elise’s couples session was EXACTLY the creative fuel I needed in the middle of all the work, and honestly did not feel like work for even a second. Sometimes the stars align, and my inner artist gets treated to the perfect storm of an absolutely beautiful couple with such fiery energy, a gorgeous location with perfect weather, and dreamy golden light to boot.
We arrived in this little nook of Brooklyn which boasts the perfect neighborhood-y vibe and epic NYC skyline views right before the sun started setting. Terrence and I had stumbled upon The Promenade when we were randomly exploring the city years ago, and I was struggling to remember how to get back to this charming spot. I remember finding this little neighborhood back then and remarking about how “if we had real money, we would totally live here!” Now, six years later, I stand by that statement. We’re not gearing up to live back in NYC full time in the near future, but if someone handed me one of these brownstones along the water in Brooklyn Heights, I’m pretty sure I’d be packing my bags in about two seconds.
Tanya and Elise are both singer-songwriters and currently live up in our old hood in Harlem, NYC. I was lucky to meet them through the recommendation of one of our friends in the city, Lana, and I couldn’t be more grateful. They have the best energy together and I immediately felt like we had been friends for years. It was so fun getting to show them this little gem in Brooklyn since neither of them had been there before! I’m so excited to share their photos from the couple’s session and can’t wait to hang with these beauties again.
