Eric + Melissa's Engagement

Here's to a sharp-looking couple who are simply crazy for one another. And it shows!

We shot on a wonderful September day at NYU (where they met), Washington Square Park and Long Island City. The waning autumn sun gave the light an extra allure that made backlighting Eric and Melissa extra fun. At dusk, I prefer shooting portraits with my tack-sharp 85mm f/1.4, transforming the city lights in the distance into incredible discs of color. Great shoot!
