LGBTQ Couples Shoot at Brooklyn Bridge Park

On a clear, overcast day in Brooklyn Bridge Park, I had the pleasure of photographing a Michael and his partner along the iconic waterfront and in the surrounding areas. Despite some initial shyness on their part, my own understanding of being reserved allowed me to create a comfortable environment, coaxing them to open up and express themselves freely. With gentle encouragement, they soon relaxed into each other's embrace, displaying genuine affection and happiness.

As the session unfolded, their transformation from timid to carefree was evident, resulting in a memorable collection of photographs capturing their love and connection.

Here are some of my favorite images from this shoot (click/tap to view full size and un-cropped):
