A modern classic: your modern engagement session in a hotel lobby. Drinks, a balcony, some flowers, and a veil. This session was a fun way to spend some time together and capture the beauty before the wedding. Amanda and Sean, with their chic, sophisticated styled checked into the hotel around 3pm and got ready together before heading to the lobby to meet for a Martini and a Manhattan. We spent some time in the lobby of the Delamar Greenwich before heading outside to capture a stroll around the docks at in the harbor. Delamar Greenwich makes the perfect location for your modern engagement session, from the luxury interior appointments to the coastal outdoor dining, you will love this session from start to finish.

The Look
Amanda’s fashion was traditional with a playful twist. She started with a chic, retro-inspired mini dress that exuded a sense of carefree glamour. Add a whimsical veil, a nod to classic bridal attire, but with a flirty edge that complements the ambiance of the bar. Don a pair of stylish sunglasses, effortlessly cool and evoking a sense of mystery, perfect for playful poses.
