We have a double wammy of Engagement goodness today. First, are the undeniably gorgeous images of one super cute couple and their jaunt through Central Park as seen through the lens of James Christianson. Next up on the love parade is a stop at The Carlyle for more engagement shoot goodness and a little added swankiness and then the culmination…a really awesome film. Yep folks, that’s how they do it in New York. See it all here!

And as if this engagement session weren’t completely gorgeous on its own, it also has a little partner in fabulosity. Meet the cutest film shot by Kevin Von Qualen…
From James Christianson Photographer…For Courtney & Cesar’s engagement session, we enjoyed a leisurely afternoon stroll through Central Park as well as a stop by the historical Cafe Carlyle and Bemelmans Bar where the couple had their first date. The Cafe Carlyle and Bemelman’s Bar are located within the historical Carlyle Hotel which housed Richard Rogers as their first tenant and showcases the beautiful art of Ludwig Bemelmans on the walls (artist of the popular children’s books, “Madeline”).

Central Park is awesome! Would shoot there every day if we lived in NY!
This is such a gorgeous session James! The bubble pictures are so cute and the cafe pictures turned out beautiful as well. Love the super 8mm film paired with the session!
I love her dress! Do you know the designer/where it is from?
Hi Sara, the dress is Red Valentino.. I bought it at Saks in May. :)
Really nice shoot! What's the name of the song with the video?
