Some sessions just click, the location, the outfits, the energy. This was 100% one of those. Dami and Andrea brought the full editorial-meets-effortless energy to their engagement session, and the vibe shift between locations? ICONIC. We started at the New York Public Library for those timeless, architectural, classic shots (like something straight out of a fashion editorial), and then ended the day at The Ludlow Hotel, where champagne, pizza, and playful chaos stole the show in the absolute best way. This Ludlow Hotel engagement session is the definition of romance with range!
Timeless Vibe At The New York Public Library Magic
Let’s talk about a location that never misses. The New York Public Library gave us marble, grandeur, and all the cinematic backdrops. Dami and Andrea stepped out looking like a modern-day power couple, dressed to the nines with that effortless elegance that’s just…them! From those stoic columns to the soft in-between moments on the steps, every shot felt like a freeze frame in a classic black-and-white film, except with their very real love as the star of the show. They were sophisticated, flirty, and so connected the entire time. We got those dramatic editorial angles and the cheeky, smitten smiles that made everything feel super personal and not-too-posed. It’s honestly wild how they managed to make marble look even more luxurious.
The Ludlow Hotel Engagement Session Vibes
And THEN… the switch-up! We took the party to The Ludlow Hotel and suddenly we were in cozy, champagne-popping, pizza-in-bed territory, and it was perfect. The Ludlow Hotel engagement session portion was everything you’d want from an indoor shoot: soft lighting, intimate corners, and enough playful moments to make it feel like a behind-the-scenes of their real relationship. (Also, who knew pizza could be this photogenic?!) They popped bubbly, shared slices, got a little steamy in the mirror-lit bathroom, and even had a Cinderella moment with Dami helping Andrea with her shoes. It was intimate in all the best ways, showing how you can keep things low-key but still editorial. This part of the session felt like a mini date night, one where you forget the camera’s even there because you’re just vibing!

Whether you’re dreaming of something regal and romantic or cozy and casual, or a lil’ bit of both your session can reflect your dynamic. The Ludlow Hotel engagement session reminded me that indoor shoots don’t have to be stiff or moody. They can be flirty, full of laughter, and give you the freedom to show up as yourselves without worrying about the weather or crowds.
