From Coffee Dates to Forever: A Modern Love Story in the Heart of NYC

Brianna + Craig’s Engagement Session | Fall 2025

Proof that modern love stories can be just as romantic as the classics 💕

Brianna & Craig’s story began with a swipe on Hinge and a shared love of good conversation and even better coffee. Their first date at Hungry Ghost Coffee in West Village turned into hours of effortless laughter—and before long, they both knew this was something special.

So of course, for their engagement session, we revisited the very place where it all began. ✨

A Love Story Brewed in the City

Brianna & Craig’s connection feels like a scene out of a movie—set against the charm of Manhattan’s cobblestone streets and cozy cafés. Their story is a reminder that love doesn’t need grand gestures to feel extraordinary; sometimes, it’s found in a quiet corner over cappuccinos and conversation that flows as naturally as it began. ☕

After their first date at Hungry Ghost, they wandered through the West Village, stopping by a wine bar nearby—and those same streets now hold an even deeper meaning as they prepare to say “I do.”

Playful, Sophisticated, & Completely Themselves

Spending the day with these two was pure joy. They have an energy that’s both classy and fun—just the kind of love that lights up a city block. Whether walking hand in hand through the Village, sharing inside jokes, or stealing a quiet kiss between crosswalks, Brianna & Craig are effortlessly magnetic together.

Every moment of their session felt like a reflection of their relationship: genuine, joyful, and timeless. 🖤

Planning Pointers for Your Engagement Session

☕ Choose a meaningful spot. Go back to where your story began—whether it’s your favorite coffee shop, the park where you walk your dog, or your go-to date night spot.
💫 Keep it authentic. The best photos happen when you forget the camera and focus on each other.
🍷 Make it fun. Think of your session as a date night you’ll remember forever.
