Madeline & Matt knew they wanted their engagement session at the iconic Lafayette Hotel, and it could not have been a more perfect backdrop for their vision. With its funky decor and architecture, vibrant colors, and retro charm, every corner felt like a photo straight out of a magazine.


For their session, we captured a mix of both film and digital photography, blending the nostalgic feel of film with the crisp versatility of digital images. The result was a gallery full of personality and effortless style that feels uniquely them.


From wandering through the hotel's beautifully designed spaces to soaking up every candid moment together, these two made my job incredibly easy. I’m still completely swooning over how these images turned out!
