Real Engagements

With sweeping views of Lower Manhattan, old, charming houses and open green spaces, Governors Island, which is a former military base that opened as a public space in 2012, is an oasis from the hustle and bustle of New York City. "Not only is it a place that Jeremy and I enjoy visiting together, it’s also the place where I came out to my mother and got such a warm and loving reception when I did so," explains Jonathan of their engagement location choice. "When you add that special meaning of the place to the picturesque nature of the island itself, it was a ‘no-brainer’ to have our photo shoot there."
