Why You Should Book a Couples’ Photoshoot Just Because

Most people believe couples’ photoshoots are only for engagements, anniversaries, or other milestones. But why wait for a special moment?

Peter and Catlin, a couple from the Upper East Side, recently moved in together. They wanted to capture their relationship in a timeless way. Instead of waiting for a significant event, they chose to book a casual yet intimate photoshoot in Central Park. This decision allowed them to capture this chapter of their love story and create beautiful, frame-worthy prints for their new home.

The Value of Capturing Everyday Love

We take countless pictures during vacations, birthdays, and special occasions. But the everyday moments deserve attention too. Here’s why you should consider a professional couples session:

Unique Artwork for Your Home

With a professional photoshoot, you can create unique artwork that reflects your love. Professional film photos can look stunning as prints. They can add a personal touch to your living space.

Celebrate Your Current Relationship

There’s no need to wait for engagement or weddings to capture your love story. Booking a couples' photoshoot allows you to celebrate your relationship as it is right now.

Enjoy Time Together

A relaxed photoshoot is a perfect excuse to dress up and enjoy each other's company in front of the camera. It's a fun experience that can strengthen your bond.

A Special Gift

These photos make meaningful gifts. They can be cherished by each other, shared with family, or saved for future anniversaries.

Peter & Catlin’s Central Park Session: Capturing Everyday Moments

With their new place in Upper East Side, Peter & Catlin wanted a setting that reflected their everyday NYC lifestyle. Central Park became their chosen backdrop, offering beautiful scenery and a relaxed atmosphere.

During the session, we explored some less touristy spots. I captured a blend of candid moments and artistic portraits. The session focused on embracing the beauty of everyday love. Soft, natural posing felt organic, allowing their chemistry to shine through.

The Timelessness of Film Photography

For this shoot, we combined film and digital photography. The results from the film were truly stunning.

Why Choose Film?

✔ Soft, Nostalgic Tones: Film captures warmth and depth that digital photography may miss.

✔ Gorgeous Prints: Film images make beautiful artwork for your home.

✔ Organic Feel: Unlike overly edited digital photos, film retains natural colors and textures. Spring and Fall in NYC look amazing with film’s Kodak tones.

If you’ve never had film portraits taken, now is the perfect time to try it!
