Lauren and Katie are such a sweet couple, and I’m so glad they found me to capture their queer engagement photos in Brooklyn. The couple, full of laughter and warmth, chose Red Hook for the location of their session. That neighborhood is perfect if you’re a little afraid of people looking at you during your session, because it’s usually not crowded at all. On a perfect summer night, with golden hour light spilling over the city, we captured their love in its purest form.
Industrial Romance: Brick Walls and Warm Light
We started near the old industrial buildings. The red brick walls made a perfect backdrop for their love story. As the sun dipped lower, the golden light wrapped around them, turning simple moments into something cinematic. They held hands, stole kisses, and let the summer air fill the space between them.
Nostalgic Vibes: The Old Tramway
Next, we wandered toward the old tramway tracks. This hidden gem in Red Hook brought a touch of nostalgia. Lauren and Katie walked side by side, laughing as they balanced on the rails. Once in the tramway, Katie’s face naturally fell in a pocket of light, which made for a great shot.
Ending on the Cobblestone Streets
As the evening progressed, we made our way to the cobblestone streets. The texture, the history—it all added to the magic. They danced in the streets, twirled, and embraced, lost in the moment. The warmth of the city mirrored their love, making this Brooklyn engagement session one to remember.
Lauren and Katie’s session was proof that Brooklyn is more than just a city—it’s a feeling. If you’re dreaming of a queer engagement in Brooklyn, Red Hook offers the perfect mix of urban charm and romance.
