shoot! i'm engaged!

after booking my wonderfully talented photographer ryan brenizer, we're now brainstorming WHERE to shoot our engagement session and WHEN might be good too...considering we'll be having a time crunch on our wedding day the engagement photos location needs to be extra special/memorable i think so we can do all the photos we want to but can't for the wedding...

Here are a few possibilities...

A. Northport Yacht Club

chris and i have spent many a summers here sailing and such and it'll also give us an opportunity to take some sexy beach pictures ala mrs hibiscus of weddingbee, but chris isn't so thrilled with this prospect...but he hasn't throw the idea out yet

B. Brooklyn Height Promenade

since we both live in brooklyn and he works in lower manhattan, i thought this would also make for some awesome new yorky engagement photos, it'll be trendy and stylish etc etc...but it doesn't really serve any particular meaning to our relationship so chris again is hesitant about giving me the green light about this one

C. Adirondaks High Peaks Region - Mount Jo
This place would be perfect i guess, but logistically getting up here with our photographer is a huge task to undertake and i'm not likely to want to venture into this sort of territory...

D. Old Westbury Gardens

i think this place is GORGEOUS! you have the gardens, the mansion everything...most people take their wedding photos here on Long Island but yea, it's an old standby favorite, but chris isn't too thrilled with this one either... the man is hard to please ladies and gents.


so there is my dilemma, where to have these photos taken? i'm leaving towards A and B obviously..but where would you/have you take your engagement photos?
