A Unique Setting for an Engagement Shoot

The American Museum of Natural History is not a typical engagement shoot location, but that’s exactly what made it so special. The grand halls, intricate exhibits, and soft, natural lighting created a stunning atmosphere for romantic and artistic engagement photos. From the iconic entrance steps to the breathtaking dioramas, we explored the museum’s incredible spaces, capturing moments that felt cinematic and intimate.

Michelle and Max’s connection was effortless—whether sharing a quiet moment beneath the museum’s towering exhibits or laughing together in the grand corridors, every image reflected their deep bond and excitement for the future. The museum’s rich textures and dramatic lighting provided a perfect contrast to their joyful energy, making for a beautifully balanced collection of images.

A Look Ahead to Their Wedding at Hudson House

As we captured their engagement session, we couldn’t help but anticipate their upcoming wedding at Hudson House, a stunning waterfront venue with panoramic views of the New York City skyline. The transition from a historic, museum setting to the modern elegance of their wedding venue will showcase two very different but equally breathtaking aesthetics, and we are so excited to document both chapters of their love story.

Engagement sessions offer a wonderful opportunity for couples to get comfortable in front of the camera before their wedding day, and Michelle and Max embraced every moment with ease. Their chemistry, combined with the dramatic setting of the museum, resulted in a session that was both editorial and deeply personal.
