Fort Wadsworth

For a unique location for your engagement shoot, choose Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island, a former military installation that has been turned into a gorgeous park right on the water. One of the oldest military installations in the United States, Fort Wadsworth is filled with both history as well as natural beauty, making it a fantastic destination for New York engagement photography. 

The expansive park is full of trails and beautiful backdrops for your shoot. The smooth but imposing granite walls of the former fort make for a dramatic statement, its geometric lines contrasting with the soft colors and textures of the green lawns. You’ll also be able to catch sweeping views of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. No matter the season, you’re going to have a great experience here, from the bright colors of spring to the understated elegance of winter. 

Fort Wadsworth is such an interesting combination of modern and historical, natural and man-made, military and civilian. It’s a perfect location for stunning engagement photography, a hidden gem for those who want to do something a little different. Let the mixture of textures and the history of the fort inspire you as you embark on a shoot to remember.
