Couples Photography NYC
Photography in New York City. Portraits, headshots, fashion, editorial and more.
Couples and Engagement Photography in NYC
New York is a good city to be in love in, and a good one to photograph. Maybe you just got engaged on the Brooklyn Bridge, maybe it is ten years together, or maybe you just want nice photos of the two of you. We shoot all three.
Why Couples Choose Dante's Models
We are not wedding photographers. We come from fashion and editorial work, so a couples session with us looks more like a magazine shoot than a posed portrait. We give easy direction, find the light and catch the moments in between.

What We Photograph
- Engagement sessions. You said yes. We photograph the ring and the two of you in the city where it happened.
- Anniversary shoots. Mark the milestone with photos of the two of you as you are now.
- Just because. No reason needed. Some of our favorite sessions are two people who just wanted photos together.
- Proposals. Planning to ask? We shoot proposals discreetly, so the moment is on camera.
Best NYC Locations for Couples Photos
- Brooklyn Bridge. The classic NYC couples photo. Go at sunrise, when the bridge is quiet.
- Central Park Bow Bridge. Romantic in every season.
- DUMBO, Brooklyn. Cobblestone streets, with the Manhattan Bridge framed between the buildings.
- The High Line. An elevated park with gardens and city views.
- Washington Square Park. Greenwich Village, with the arch behind you.
Tips for Your Couples Session
- Coordinate outfits without matching exactly. Colors that go together photograph well.
- Wear clothes you feel good in, not clothes you bought for the shoot.
- When we give direction, go with it. A lot of the best frames happen between poses.
- Book golden hour (the last 1 to 2 hours before sunset) for the warmest light.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a couples or engagement photoshoot cost in NYC?
Couples sessions start at $600 for a 1-hour Classic Session with 30 edited images. The $1,000 Signature Session covers two locations at golden hour. The $1,800 All-Day Love Story moves between several NYC spots and comes with 100+ images.
Do you offer proposal photography?
Yes, and we keep it discreet. We blend in and photograph the moment as it happens, so your partner is surprised and you get to see the proposal again whenever you want.
What is the best time of day for couples photos in NYC?
Golden hour, the last 1 to 2 hours before sunset. The light is warm and flattering. We plan Signature and All-Day sessions around it.
What should we wear for our couples session?
Coordinate, but do not match exactly. Colors that go together photograph well. Wear clothes you already feel good in, not something you bought for the shoot.
