Central Park

Another iconic location that says New York in an unmatched way is the Central Park. Located just a little more than a half-an-hour away from the wedding venue, this is one of the most iconic parks in NYC. It is the scenic backyard of every local and a park that acts as a recluse from the fast-paced city life, you are right! If you wish to have your post-wedding photography here, there are many spots like the Pond, the Mall, Bethesda Fountain, and Bow Bridge which make the photos speak! Fall is the most beautiful time for a Central Park photo session as the colors of nature come alive in all their glory! If you are an adventurous couple, you could simply indulge in a bit of adventure on your wedding day too! Consider carrying a pair of sneakers as you climb on to the rocks to capture the most glitzy cityscape in the backdrop? Oh and we absolutely love fusion wear- the combination of a bridal dress with sneakers is like a combination of naughty and nice! And ofcourse, you can always change back to your wedding shoes! The Bow Bridge is our absolute favorite which is an epitome of the New York vibe. From romantic walks along its billowing walkways or having a cozy picnic at Central Park with your loved one, this park party is expansive and accommodating and has the glittering cityscape in the background to make the most perfect frames. What better place to announce your love to the world than in Central Park right in the beating heart of the city?

Coney Island

Fort Tryon Park

Now this one is an exact half an hour from the wedding venue and offers panoramic views of Hudson River and Palisades. The golden hour unleashes some fabulous colors in the sky which form the best backgrounds in the city, coupled with the gorgeous city views across the river and is ideal for a post-wedding photoshoot around the sunset. The stunning art pieces at Fort Tryon Park act as a scenic backdrop for this space and are considered timeless and speak volumes via New York engagement photography. The stone architecture looks absolutely stunning in Fort Tryon Park, breathing the air of regality into your engagement photos. Embedded with 8-mile long pathways and pristine lawns, this park is all lush greens and historic stone pathways in the middle of an urban city. The brightly-hued trees blossoming year-round, dressing up the location to look postcard-ready, however, fall speaks a different language fluent in dreamy fall-hued foliage.
