Engagement Shoot at Pete’s Tavern and Boucherie in Gramercy Park + Union Square, NYC

Engagement Shoot at Pete’s Tavern and Boucherie in NYC

On a crisp January evening, Renee & Nate had their stunning engagement shoot in Gramercy Park & Union Square, NYC.

The timeless charm of the neighborhood where they live provided the perfect nostalgic setting for capturing their session! We started the session off at Pete’s Tavern, where they both enjoyed espresso martinis!

The Christmas decor added such a special, nostalgic touch to their photos!

I started off the session with a quick Polaroid photo as a keepsake.

Rooftop Views

We took some street photos outside of Pete’s, and then headed to the rooftop of their apartment, where Nate had proposed to Renee some months back!

I captured the view from their apartment, something the frequently enjoy taking in together on date nights.

The golden hour lighting was perfect for this stunning NYC rooftop engagement session.

Boucherie

Next stop was Boucherie in Union Square! I loved the ambiance inside of Boucherie. I’ve also done an engagement shoot inside of their West Village location! The ambiance of the holiday lights simply can’t be beat for a gorgeous & romantic engagement shoot!

Union Square

Union Square holds a significant place in the history and culture of New York City. Originally designated as a public gathering space in 1830, Union Square has been the site of important political rallies, protests, and gatherings, earning a reputation as a center for free speech and activism. Over the years, it has evolved from a bustling market square to a vibrant public park with statues and lush greenery, attracting locals and tourists alike. Surrounded by important institutions such as the Greenmarket, the Union Square Theatre, and the Metronome art installation, the square is a reflection of the city's diverse and dynamic character. With its central location and historical significance, Union Square continues to be a space where people come to voice their opinions, celebrate events, and simply enjoy the vibrant energy of this iconic New York City hub.
