Fall Engagement Photos- Princeton, NJ

Vini and Ryan met in college and were friends for 2 years before fate stepped in one night that left them waiting for friends for hours outside a restaurant together. They spent a summer texting before they had an unofficial date at a diner with only an appetizer – I think we can all relate to those broke college student days!

Still, Ryan managed to charm Vini, and she says their official first date at Grand Lux was perfect. They couldn’t stop laughing together from that night onward. The now-fiancees love spending time in each other’s company, whether that’s watching sitcoms, going to the movies, or just hanging out together.

Vini knew Ryan was the one when they went to visit the World One Building in New York City. Even though she had been so excited to see the view, Vini found herself more entranced by her conversation with Ryan than the view of the city.

Ryan was certain about Vini from the very summer they started texting. There had been a week where they had stopped texting – and Ryan recalls feelings of joy when Vini was the first one to crack and text. But an even better feeling was when he proposed.

Ryan planned out a perfect day, making sure Vini wore the color she’d always wanted to wear for her proposal and securing the ring she had picked out. Not even breaking the ring box shortly before the proposal could take away from the moment – the couple simply laughed about it together.

In a sweet nod to their previous date, Ryan proposed on a skyscraper in New York. For the second time, the couple largely neglected the view – but they have some stunning photos to look back on.

While they love the photos from their proposal, Vini and Ryan wanted to have an engagement session in traditional Indian attire. Vini says that even though they’ve dated for 10 years, they hardly have any good photos in traditional clothing, celebrating both their love and culture. I was more than happy to make that happen for them.

The two loved Princeton because it reminds them of Hogwarts! With the beautiful fall weather, the architecture and trees provided a vibrant backdrop to compliment their attire. I am so excited for them to share these photos with friends and family.

‌Congrats to Vini and Ryan! Check out some of the best shots from the engagement session below!
