Madison and Alex are the ultimate super chill, super cool, west coast couple. (I mean, check out that jumper and hot sauce shirt!) They moved to New York City from California last year, after dating in college, and getting engaged at the Mayan Ruins in Mexico. When the two of them first reached out after finding me on the Bridechilla vendor directory, I knew they were going to be a ton of fun.

On the sunny morning of their Upper West Side engagement session, we started out at their local community garden. They are hoping to grow their own food in the future, so they have planted their own little plot right in Manhattan! The stunning green ivy wall made the perfect backdrop. The flowers, fruits, and veggies were the most beautiful colors for photos, as was the orange blanket they brought from the vacation when Alex proposed. From the garden, we ventured over to the iconic Central Park, exploring all the small, magical paths, tunnels, and bridges along the way.
