Fort Tryon Park

Thanks to John D. Rockefeller, the Big Apple is home to one of the most stunning outdoor pieces of art known as Fort Tryon Park in New York. 

In 1917, Rockefeller began acquiring private parcels of land as part of his vision for developing a beautiful public park with majestic views of the Hudson River and Palisades. 

It’s New York engagement photography at its most authentic! There’s so much scenery to take in - it’s almost hard to believe this city oasis is just steps from the 190th Street subway station. Stroll through the park’s eight miles of pathways, be playful on the lawns and enjoy Heather Garden, the city’s largest garden with unrestricted public access. You’ll find no shortage of lush greenery or vibrant blooming color here, with the garden boasting more than 500 varieties of plants, trees and shrubs throughout the year. 

Another charming touch to Fort Tryon Park in New York is the wrought-iron gates and stone-laid paths, exuding a medieval feel. Now that’s New York engagement photography with character! 

Or, head straight to the pristine views of the Hudson River - a picture-perfect setting in the city that never sleeps.
