If you’ve never planned a wedding of your own, there are a lot of aspects and occasions which you might not think of right off the bat. For example, while Monica and Shail were planning their Jamaican destination wedding, there was one thing which was equally as important as the wedding: their engagement shoot. This may sound unusual, but while the couple had their hearts set on a Caribbean wedding, they didn’t want to neglect the city in which they currently live: New York City.

After all, NYC is where they met, fell in love and decided to get married. With so many treasured memories spread throughout the city, it was important to the couple that they take the time to commemorate that part of their relationship. Thankfully, the couple and their wonderful photographer, Keith Cephus, have been kind enough to share those pictures with all of our Destination I Do readers. So, without further ado, here are Monica and Shail’s striking NYC engagement pictures.

Hopefully these images have inspired you to get creative and really treasure your own engagement photos. Let them symbolize a major stepping stone toward the process of becoming man and wife. It’s also an opportunity, perhaps even more than the wedding, to really share your personalities and an insight into your relationship. Happy engagement!
