Cassandra + Gary | Brooklyn Heights & Bacchus Bistro Engagement Photographer

Their's is the modern love story. Living in New York City, a girl from Ohio and a guy from the UK began their fateful hearts' quest amidst the infinite interweb. On the very first date with the very first person to message her, Cassandra recalls an instant bond with Gary over their shared love of globe-trotting (this jet-setting couple seriously blows my travel-schedule out of the water!). Fast forward a year and they're busy planning not one, but two celebratory ceremonies - one in their current metropolitan home city and another for friends & family across the pond.

Surrounded by the timeless Brooklyn Heights neighborhood, we documented their effortlessly chic affection in the place they currently call home. Starting at Bacchus Bistro - a personal favourite date night hideaway - and winding through their brownstone-lined streets, we stopped for a cameo at Love Lane (complete with cupids) before rounding off our time at Brooklyn Heights Promenade where we took in breathtaking views of Manhattan set in a stage of dramatic sun rays bursting through ominous rainclouds. Peppered with some of NYC's finest, our time together was complete with cherry blossoms, yellow cabs, and spontaneous twirls to a saxophonist playing melodious jazz tunes along the East River.
