Getting engaged is a magical moment that deserves to be celebrated. Hiring a wedding photographer to take engagement photos is a great way to ensure you’ll have stunning images to cherish forever. If you’re  located in New York City, there are many iconic backdrops to choose from, so where should you have your photo shoot? 

Top Manhattan Spots For A Fall Engagement Photo Shoot

1. Central Park

If you’re looking for a striking backdrop for your fall engagement photo shoot, you can’t go wrong with Central Park. The fall foliage on the trees will provide brilliant pops of color in your photos. Your wedding photographer can take breathtaking photos of you and your partner on the Bow Bridge or on a horse and carriage by the Bethesda Fountain. If you want the Bow Bridge in the pictures, but from a distance, consider shooting on Cherry Hill, which also offers the backdrop of Central Park Lake as well as the city skyline.

2.A Taxi Cab

What’s more iconic than a NYC taxi cab? Going for a ride in a taxi or posing in front of one is a cool and fun idea during your engagement session.

3.The High Line

Wedding photographers love shooting couples at the High Line because of the elegant backdrops the mile-and-a-half park offers. In addition to the beautiful landscape, having your fall photo shoot there will also include gorgeous views of the city and fall foliage. You will have plenty of options for backdrops, whether you want it to be the autumn leaves and trees or the bustling city life. 

4. A Walk In SoHo

Why not combine your love for your partner and for the city by going on a walk in SoHo for your engagement photo shoot? Fall is the perfect time of year to enjoy the crisp air and capture the historical aesthetic of this part of lower Manhattan.

By going on a walk in this area, you’ll have endless opportunities for pictures. From cute boutique storefronts and cobblestone streets to cast-iron fences and original art galleries, there are so many places that would serve as a stunning backdrop.
