Celebrating your leap into matrimony with a creative splash is crucial! One of the best ways to do this is through the magic of photography. Imagine it for a moment—you and your partner look fabulous. You’re enjoying another beautiful day in New York City.

You’re holding hands, sharing romantic glances, gentle kisses, and quiet laughter, all with a stunning view in the background: one that only New York City can provide. And I and my camera are by your side, ready to capture every wonderful moment. Doesn’t that sound amazing?

But with so many breathtaking places in New York, the question of where you’ll have your wedding photoshoot remains. Luckily, I’m here to offer some inspiration with my guide on the most creative places for a wedding photoshoot in NYC.

Jane’s Carousel

First up on my list is a lovely little spot called Jane’s Carousel. The main event of this gorgeous locale is the large, traditional carousel that overlooks the water, with a beautiful piece of New York’s stunning skyline as the radiant backdrop. The carousal’s lights, horses, and overall vibe make capturing fun and unique snapshots of you and your partner a cinch.

I love this spot for couples looking to explore the type of alternative wedding photography I specialize in. It’s wise to remember that Jane’s Carousel has restrictions to protect it. It might cost a little extra money if we wanted to book your shoot there. But it would be well worth it to have the carousal to ourselves and be able to take pictures on the ride!

Brooklyn Botanical Gardens

The Brooklyn Botanical Gardens is another excellent place for a creative wedding photoshoot. Like Jane’s Carousal, this location is stunning. And once you check it out, I think you’ll agree that there are tons of different types of shots at this renowned garden.

Bustling with lush greenery, flowers, and intricate structures, the Brooklyn Botanical Garden boasts a diverse range of beautiful spots for wedding photos, such as:

The Rose Garden
The Japanese Hill and Pond Garden
The Shakespeare Garden

I can make any of these special places look even more magical on camera than in real life. The best part is that you and your partner will be at the center of it all.

Streets of New York

Sometimes the most creative spaces for wedding photography are hidden in plain sight. The streets of New York, for example, are excellent spots to capture the love between two people and the one-of-a-kind vibe of this beautiful city. We can walk around Times Square and find some cool areas for photos.

We could pick out some gorgeous graffiti walls to snap some unique shots of you and your partner. Even a crosswalk can be an exciting location for wedding photos in the streets of New York. I love this option for couples who are a little more flexible in what they’re looking for. It allows us both to have some creative freedom and enjoy the day in the city.
