Real NYC Engagement Shoot | Kristina + Alexander Traverse the Highline, West Village & Brooklyn Bridge

Kristina + Alexander Real NYC Engagement Hudson River
The Brooklyn Bridge, Washington Square Park, Chelsea Piers, the High Line... Is there anywhere this couple didn't get to? With Kristina and Alex's wedding occurring all the way in Philadelphia, we can't blame them for wanting to get as much NYC as possible to make their big announcement. Photographer Kamila Harris captured them all {and this couple's sweet love story} in today's Real NYC Engagement Session... take a look!Kristina + Alexander Real NYC Engagement Cobblestones West Village ManhattanKristina + Alexander Real NYC Engagement Cobblestone West Village Manhattan Kristina + Alexander Real NYC Engagement Brownstones
Kristina and Alex met in the summer of 2006 on a study abroad program in Italy. They said, "we had the most incredible summer of our lives and we completely fell in love in Italy." Kristina + Alexander Real NYC Engagement Cenral Park FoutainKristina + Alexander Real NYC Engagement on the Highline
Alex proposed outside Kilkenny castle in Ireland! The couple had just arrived in Ireland for the first time and were in Kilkenny for about an hour before he proposed. Kristina said, "I was completely shocked and so excited, it definitely set the tone for the rest of the trip and we had an amazing time celebrating our engagement that week in Ireland."Kristina + Alexander Real NYC Engagement Freedom TowerKristina + Alexander Real NYC Engagement Brooklyn Bridge
Kristina wore a royal blue dress from French Connection with nude wedges by Max Studio. She said "The cuts on the dress were perfect and fit my body type well. It was simple, but really elegant at the same time. The bride-to-be also wore David Yurman earrings as well a monogrammed Tiffany necklace {her very first present from Alex!}

When asked of their favorite picture, the couple had a very hard time choosing. Kristina said, "I have a few favorites, but the one of us walking on the cobblestone streets in West Village, kissing each other really just captures our love for each other. It was when we had just started the photoshoot and I remember telling Alex I felt really nervous. He told me how beautiful I looked and happy he was before he kissed me in that picture"... How romantic!Kristina + Alexander Real NYC Engagement Brooklyn BridgeKristina + Alexander Real NYC Engagement Brooklyn BridgeKristina + Alexander Real NYC Engagement Brooklyn Bridge
