Central Park in the fall is pure magic, and Clarissa and Randy’s engagement session captured every bit of it! The vibrant autumn colors made for a breathtaking backdrop as these two strolled, laughed, and cozied up under the park’s golden and crimson canopy. One thing we didn’t plan for was for it to a BUSY morning in Central Park! Not only was it the day for the youth marathon in Manhattan but I also have never seen so many other photo shoots happening simultaneously. It was a PACKED and busy day in Central Park – but I so badly want to keep the focus on my couples during their engagement sessions so any chance I could pull them away from the crowds, I did. Not only was all that happening but it was a chilly morning in Manhattan. Clarissa and Randy may have apologized for wearing their coats but I LOVED it and thought it added to the autumn in the city vibes 🙂 We finished their session with a stop at Ralph’s (because it was freezing and we all desperately needed coffee and warmth!) and the cuteness continued there!

Clarissa and Randy have an effortless connection that radiates warmth and friendship, and you can see in every look that they are truly best friends. Their session was filled with as much laughter as it was true love, and they were as happy making each other laugh as they were sharing tender moments. Clarissa and Randy’s love story is about finding joy in every little moment, and this session reflected that warmth, humor, and genuine love. I can’t wait to see their laughter continue on their wedding day next summer!!
