Where Should You Go in Brooklyn for Beautiful Wedding Photography?

1. Brooklyn Botanic Garden

It’s easy to capture a sense of charm and wonder at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. It’s a lovely oasis of pastoral lawns, flower borders, trees, and shrubbery tucked away in an urban community. 

The Palm House inside the BBG can contain up to 250 people. Its glass walls offer a 360-degree view of meticulously cultivated gardens. At the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, you can also have your nuptials and reception at the Atrium, a slightly smaller locale for smaller groups, with a roof of wildflowers and native grasses and an open terrace.

2. The River Café

With a prime location under the Brooklyn Bridge, The River Café is a charming eatery in a glass pavilion. If you want your wedding photographer to capture the stunning sights of New York City, this venue is worth consideration. 

You can choose to have the ceremony in the Terrace Room indoors or the Garden Location outside. Once you venture outdoors, your wedding photographer can capture lovely shots of you, your wedding party, and famous landmarks like the Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty, or the city skyline. 

3. 501 Union

Any couple seeking a charming destination in Brooklyn for a medium-sized NYC wedding should consider 501 Union. This lofty and elegant event space is modern and chic and is located near Park Slope in Gowanus, Brooklyn, New York.
