Quiet, Out of the Way Spots for Your NYC Engagement and Elopement pictures.
Written By Angela Cappetta
Every photographer has their favorite hidden spots. Here is a roundup of some of my personal top hits. From glamorous uptown to downright downtown, and everything in between, any spot can be beautiful if it’s shot with care and attention. I hope you enjoy these pictures of mine of all my amazing couples. My hope is that this portfolio provides inspiration and ideas for your own photography journey. I tucked the location into each caption. Shh, don’t tell anyone 🤫.

Your favorite cafe.
The gates of the Conservatory Gardens.

Any garage lift gate.
A pocket park after the rain.
Your favorite coffee shop.

A cool storefront.
Your shadows on the sidewalk.
A good, reliable park bench.

Bond Street is a hidden gem.

Duane Park is a little TriBeCa pocket park that packs a punch.

Duane Park for a first look.
Fort Tryon Park's vastness is truly awe inspiring. And often you have it to yourself.
Under any arch in the park.
Your Dirty Dancing moment on Fifth Avenue.
An ice cream shop.
Grab a hot dog for a snack as we run between locations.
An abandoned bank.
At home.
At the entry of your favorite park.

Brooklyn Bridge Park never disappoints in the early morning light.

Toes in the sand.
Great Jones Street has miles of character.

Walking with coffee.

At the pier in front of the river.
