Destination Wedding Photographer, Wedding Photographers New York City, NY

When we first received an email from down-under we were worried that an open-air photo shoot in New York at the end of November would be risky to say the least – grey, overcast sky and chilly temperatures in the late fall in Manhattan are very problematic for good quality outdoors photography. We got lucky twice. First, even though the day turned out to be chilly and overcast, the sun made frequent appearances, lighting our clients Shelley and David just when we need it. Secondly, our clients were tough, and braved the chill with Herculean courage.

On the day of the shoot after we have met Shelley and David at their suite at the Waldorf-Astoria we headed straight to the NY City clerk’s office, where dozens of couples were awaiting their turn to be wed. After a brief ceremony in a pastel-colored room we cabbed to the Washington Square Park for a few key photographs, and then moved on to New York’s Central Park.

We spent some time trekking the park’s alleys and trails, climbed some boulders and made the bride and groom play with foliage, ending our fun photo session at the Bethesda fountain, just moments before sending Shelley & David to their celebratory dinner at the Boathouse Restaurant.
