In the heart of the Lower East Side, The DL set the stage for a stylish engagement party that spanned three lively hours in their amazing “Red Room”. The nightclub's energetic atmosphere was amplified by a DJ, drinks, and decor, as friends and family gathered to celebrate the couple's exciting milestone.

Amidst the upbeat tunes and spirited conversations, I documented candid moments and the dynamic vibe of the event. The nightclub's ambiance, coupled with the celebratory decor, provided an ideal backdrop for capturing the festive spirit. From toasts to joyful mingling, every shot encapsulated the essence of the night, underscoring the shared joy and excitement.
