A large part of my client experience focuses on providing location information through a location guide, with everything laid out from deciding the best time of day for their photos, to how much it costs to get in, and the pros and cons. These are a few of the spots that I include in that guide and recommend to clients wanting to create their dream NYC photo session.

1. Grand Central Station:

Cinematic, golden lighting & bustling energy.

This is just such an iconic spot which offers a beautiful, cinematic backdrop for couples wanting a classic NYC photo experience. It is free to get in, and offers a variety of spots inside to play around with, creatively. Check out the main concourse and head over to the staircases on either side to get some shots that offer different perspectives and backgrounds.

2. Central Park:

A gorgeous & versatile natural backdrop, within a city.

Central Park offers 843 acres of gorgeous spots to choose from. You can find hidden gems scattered throughout it and get the city skyline, water, and gorgeous greenery all in one place. You can also easily exit the park to get some classic shots within the city, making this a versatile photo session location.

3. West Village, NYC

Various picturesque locations with classic streets and brownstones.

The West Village is a dreamy and romantic setting for a couples photoshoot, with its cobblestone streets, historic brownstones, and charming cafés creating a timeless backdrop.
