Central Park is always beautiful, but during cherry blossom season, it showcases an unbelievably breathtaking landscape.
With over 10 years of photography experience, I know exactly when the flowers in Central Park will bloom beautifully, allowing me to capture the perfect shots on the perfect days 🙂
Let’s start with the star of today’s shoot, the lovely bride. As always, I carefully identify her strengths and concerns…
I emphasize her beauty and adjust angles to minimize any worries… and even apply some touch-ups!
This is our signature photo.
The groom is Chinese, and let me tell you, he is so gentle. Being a woman myself, I always appreciate meeting men who are considerate and caring towards their future wives…
After receiving the photos, the bride who found me said that her husband and she are the best… and thanked me for capturing them so beautifully.
They look absolutely stunning, don’t they?
On this day, with no one waiting and an empty space, I try various poses, changing angles along the way.
Finally, the cherry blossoms!
Cherry blossoms come in various colors, but these ones have a beautiful pink hue. I’ll soon upload some gorgeous landscape photos I took alone. The pink cherry blossoms perfectly complement the atmosphere between the couple and our photo editing tone.
I love taking kissing shots! But since I usually take hundreds of shots per hour, I also guide couples through various poses at the same location. While my editing may focus more on kissing shots, I also capture many natural-looking photos.
Even with many people around, scenes where cherry blossom trees become one with a couple are incredibly beautiful, don’t you think?
Although this lady is stunning, she’s not very good at posing (she’s great at smiling though!)… If she feels awkward, I adjust everything – from her eyes and jaw angles to her hand positions – to make her feel more comfortable.
Despite my lack of editing skills, this photo was taken with a story in mind. The bride and groom facing each other…
(To truly express the feeling of love, the actual bride and groom helped out on the opposite side of the frame haha. Bride! Looking at your husband with loving eyes won’t cut it!! haha)
Facing each other, getting closer…
Towards each other!
I think we’ll need to make some reels!
Although it’s just a photo, I also shoot with excitement and support for the couple’s beautiful feelings, so that those moments are captured.
Normally, when cherry blossoms are in full bloom, forsythia tends to wilt a little… but this couple is also surrounded by vibrant forsythia! It may look similar, but this kiss shot emphasizes a more feminine feel.
It’s different, isn’t it?
To capture relaxed and natural photos, I adjust the groom’s leg positions and the bride’s leaning angles… creating an atmosphere where both can comfortably smile, resulting in this photo 🙂
While short photo sessions can leave you with some nice shots, I prefer observing small differences and capturing moments where you can truly enjoy the time…
That’s why I don’t do short sessions.
This cut showcases the groom looking a bit more cool. I challenge him to smile a little less, but oh, this future groom just looks so cool…
It’s the best shot here.
Let’s also capture the signature shot that everyone takes. Again, it was a crowded day haha.
This view, with the luxurious buildings including the Plaza Hotel to the south of Central Park, used to be so cool, but in the past 10 years, with the emergence of those two pointed glass buildings, that vibe has somewhat diminished…
Nevertheless, scenes where the park and the city are captured together are always magnificent!
