The lobby is a favorite of our New York wedding photographers. It’s a great place to have your first look, as our wedding photographers simply love to capture that first moment when you and your partner lock your eyes on your wedding day amidst such grand surroundings. Imagine yourself being dressed in the finest of wedding gowns, with beautifully matching wedding accessories, and everything that makes you look drop-dead gorgeous! You are standing on the interior balcony that overlooks the chandelier and the spectacular setting below. Stunning bridal portraits captured from that angle are sure to melt hearts! And slowly you walk down the stairs to where your sweetheart is waiting for you. You feel every bit like a princess reaching out to her prince charming.

And our artistic wedding photographers in New York just perfectly know what it takes to transform that once-in-a-lifetime moment into a fine work of art, that you can cherish forever.
The beauty of the lobby coupled with the grandeur of chandeliers and grand staircase also makes it a phenomenal spot for wedding portraits. The opulence invites portraits with your mother, who is dressed to the nines for her little princess’s wedding along with her husband who is most handsomely dressed for the day, as the father of the bride. It’s also a great spot for capturing wedding portraits with elegantly dressed bridesmaids and dashing groomsmen. And if you can’t wait to get married, you can always come here after your wedding ceremony for some post-wedding photos. It’s always great to take out some precious moments from the busy wedding celebrations and be with each other for a while. To let that newlywed feeling sink in and to hold each other as you both glow with this new-found marital love that your wedding ceremony has just conceived. You could let your guests enjoy themselves as you both sneak out for some romantic solitude.

Let’s hop to our favorite part now - wedding photography. After the ceremony, as mentioned earlier you could simply sneak out with your husband for a little while, to capture some romantic keepsakes of your big day! Apart from the lobby, you can hit the grounds. The lush trellis that leads to a beautiful pergola in the garden is a great place to capture romantic wedding portraits of the newlywed couple. Standing under the shade of the trellis will make you feel absolutely isolated from the rest of the world and you can breathe in that solitude for a while. Our New York wedding photographers love to capture Newly married couples when they are simply being themselves, together - in love. Away from the duties or expectations of the rest of the world. You could move on to the pergola to capture some elegant wedding portraits. This spot will also give you a sense of romantic isolation and you can just take a moment to let that feeling of being husband and wife sink in. The pergola is in fact, a great place to have your bridal party join you. So, once you both are done getting wedding couple portraits, you call in your bridesmaids and groomsmen to capture all the friendships that are highly cherished!
The water fountain is our absolute favorite for wedding portraits of the newlywed couple and their photos with their loved ones. Make sure you get most of your wedding photos clicked during the day with natural light falling on to you. The glow of the sunlight, the glory of water, and love in the focus - makes wedding photography like none other! You could have all the bridesmaids and groomsmen join you both here for some spectacular naturally-lit wedding photos. The golden hour is also a great time for some post-wedding photography. As you two simply be yourselves, our New York wedding photographer will capture the gorgeous tones of sky enveloping you both in a warm hug of love as you share an intimate moment reveling in the bliss of your happiest day! The spectacular backdrop of the water fountain and the soft hues of the sky add to the priceless beauty of the moment. If your wedding is a winter wedding and the thought of venturing out in the open, that too near a fountain scares you, we’ve got your back. There are so many ways in which you can add another layer to your bridal attire that’ll keep you away from the chill. You could wear a faux-fur shrug, a wrap, or a warm cape to keep you warm outside.
Have you thought about your post-wedding photography? It has its own unique value and adds more depth to your precious day. This day will only happen once in your lifetime and will pass by in a blink! The excitement that runs throughout the day coupled with having to attend to guests, you’ll be so occupied that the day will fly like Jeanie’s command! After your grand wedding exit, post-wedding photography would extend your wedding celebrations and you can bask in the glory of your wedding day for a longer time. Addison Park is home to some amazing photo ops which will make brilliant backdrops for your post-wedding photography, both indoors and outdoors, in natural light and around sunset. However, if you and your partner are keen on exploring other nearby locations for post-wedding photography, we’ve got you covered. And this also applies to your pre-wedding photoshoot (engagement photo session). Take a look at some of the locations that we have hand-picked for you, that work for both, breathtaking post-wedding photography and impactful pre-wedding photo session.
Located just 28 minutes away from Addison Park, Hartshorne Woods is sheer beauty topped with photogenic whimsy. The boundless trails form one of the best backdrops that you can find in New York and its suburbs. The tall grass ensures privacy during a New York post-wedding photoshoot or engagement photo session. Our New York engagement photographers simply love the solitude that this place provides. The glow created during the golden hour is unmatched, as the grass plays with the hues in perfect harmony. You could watch down to the beach to get some of the most iconic golden hour photos.
