Real New York Engagement Shoot at the LES

We’d like to take a moment to look back on warmer months and the fashion that came with it.  Today’s Real Engagement features Yasmin and CJ whose bright and bold outfits have the Merci staff ready for a vacation during this harsh winter months. Ilene Squires Photography was there rain or shine to capture their favorite spots in the city!

Twelve years after awkward “hello’s” in the high school hallways, Yasmin and CJ reunited at a NYC party.  After Yasmin suggested they meet for drinks (strictly to catch up as friends), she quickly realized that this was their first date and that his blue eyes had pulled her in!  As native New Yorker’s it only made sense to have their engagement photos taken in their Lower East Side neighborhood.

Unplanned showers interrupted their shoot, but not for long!  With umbrella in hand they faced the elements boldly and captured some beautiful shots at local coffee shops and markets – true New Yorkers, indeed. Real New York Engagement Shoot at the LES Real New York Engagement Shoot at the LES
