Maya and Luigi’s engagement story is one that will touch your heart. It’s a beautiful story of how two people met and fell in love, and how they moved across the country to be together. Their engagement shoot took place in one of the most breathtaking locations in New York City: The Public Library. I was lucky enough to be their photographer and capture their love through my lens. In this blog post, I’ll be sharing their story and the intimate details of their engagement shoot that will make you fall in love with them even more.
Maya and Luigi are both originally from North Carolina. They moved to New York City together after being together for some time. For their engagement shoot location, Maya and Luigi chose the New York Public Library. The library’s stunning architecture provided the perfect backdrop for their shoot. Maya looked absolutely stunning in her Meshki dress, and it went perfectly with Luigi’s suit. They were both so natural in front of the camera, and it was clear to see how much they loved each other.
My favorite part of the shoot was hearing Maya and Luigi’s love story. It was obvious that they were meant to be together. They decided to have an intimate engagement and wanted to keep it simple and elegant.
Maya and Luigi’s engagement shoot was a beautiful reminder that love can be found in the simplest of moments, and that every love story is unique and special. As a photographer, it was an honor to capture their love through my lens, and I wish them nothing but happiness in their future together. For those getting married, take inspiration from Maya and Luigi, and remember that your love story is just as unique and special.
