Real NYC Engagement Session | Tessa + Craig at Hudson River Park

Are you ready to start your day with a solid dose of laughter? We certainly couldn't resist a smile while looking at this engagement session from Arielle Doneson Photography...
merci-engagement-arielle-donesonCraig and Tessa are an adorable New York couple, full of joie de vivre. He is a banker and she is an actress {random fun fact: Tessa was in those hilarious Chobani Yogurt ads}... Their chemistry is hit-you-over-the-head obvious. We love how neither Craig nor Tessa can stand to keep a straight face in this silly, city engagement shoot. Take a peek!
merci-engagement-arielle-donesonAfter a stop at the Little Pie Company on West 43rd Street for some delicious pies and silly shots - {with cute monogrammed mugs from Anthropologie and fresh berries bought at the local bodega, no less} - Arielle and the couple made their way over to the Hudson River Park and then to Chelsea Piers for some romantic shots by the windy waterfront.

We love how Craig's Livestrong bracelet is so evident in all the photos... Tessa tragically lost her brother to cancer a few years ago and Craig wears this bracelet in his memory.

What beautiful photography! Such intimate shots, I feel as though I know the couple already! I wish the couple every happiness.

Heads up - that first link to the photographer's website doesn't seem to work.
