Hoping everyone had a very Happy Holiday! We’re thrilled to come back with Part II of Holly and Carlos’ amazing New York City engagement session. As we mentioned in Part I , Holly and Carlos craved a chic Manhattan engagement session packed with city style {New Year’s inspiring outfit changes!} and a fair dose of culture and classic NYC panache.
Cengiz of Adagion Studio captured some amazing moments, and Merci New York had a great time styling the shoot and working on the appropriate locations that set the perfect mise en scene, such as the Gramercy Park Hotel , below…
While styling Holly’s “evening” look, Merci New York wanted to maintain the gold tones from her “day” look , but up the ante with some dramatic accents {such as the bold-bow Milly dress and glorious Erickson Beamon cocktail ring } from Merci’s wardrobe partner, Rent the Runway .
We chose a pit stop at the Gramercy Park Hotel, in large part for their fabulous art collection and eclectic New York atmosphere. Where else can one find outstanding skyline views, paired with a great assortment of Damien Hirst and Andy Warhol pieces {among others}? It was a hip and colorful backdrop for the city-centric couple. A champagne toast completed the action packed day. 
All of our best for a very Happy New Year. Coincidentally, this article celebrates our 300th post and the end of a wonderful first, full year. Thank you for your support, readership and friendship. Looking forward to seeing you in 2011! xx
