Brooklyn Botanic Garden

Located next to beautiful Prospect Park is the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, a floral and horticultural paradise right in the heart of Brooklyn. With its many different backdrops and stunning landscaping, this makes a perfect spot for your engagement shoot. Inside this urban wonderland of natural beauty, you’ll find many types of gardens, displays, and architecture, each one adding something different for your shoot. 

In the Shakespeare Garden, done in the charming style of an English cottage, you’ll find over 80 different plants that were mentioned by name in Shakespeare’s works, from nettles to hyssop, its brick pathways lined by flowerbeds rich with texture and color. The Cherry Esplanade is another famous location in the park, a spreading green adorned with two allées of flowering cherry trees that burst into soft pink blooms in spring and fill the air with irresistible romance. These are just a few of the thoughtful garden pieces you’ll discover—keep exploring and you’ll find waterfalls, fields of tall grasses, and a pool covered in blooming water lilies. 

This world-class botanic garden is one of the best in the nation. Its wide variety of elegant backdrops makes it a fantastic spot for New York engagement photography. You’ll fall in love here all over again and leave with pictures you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
