Samantha and Andrew’s photoshoot perfectly captures the romance and sophistication that makes NYC engagement photos so special. Their June wedding at Tribeca Rooftop + 360° is going to be pure magic. Let’s jump into this elegant engagement session at the New York Public Library!
New York Public Library Engagement Photos
Let me take a moment to gush about libraries. While I adore every kind of library – from the grandest university halls to those charming little free libraries dotting neighborhood streets – there’s something truly extraordinary about the New York Public Library. Its Beaux-Arts architecture, marble staircases, and ornate details make it an absolute dream for photographers. The way light streams through those massive windows and dances across the historic spaces creates pure magic in every frame. If you’re looking for perfect photo spots in New York City, this iconic landmark needs to be at the top of your list!

Engagement Photo Outfits in NYC
Samantha and Andrew were an absolute joy to photograph, bringing an effortless elegance to every shot. I loved Samantha’s white tie strap midi dress paired with slingback kitten heels and simple gold studs. Her classic style paired with Andrew’s timeless navy suit dress complemented the classical architecture perfectly.
We started inside the library’s magnificent halls, where the couple’s sophisticated style harmonized beautifully with the historic surroundings. As we moved outside, the energy of NYC provided an exciting backdrop—from yellow taxis whizzing by to the library’s majestic lion statues standing guard. The contrast between the serene library interior and the vibrant city streets gave us endless creative possibilities for this engagement session at the New York Public Library.
