Winter Wedding Photo Ideas For The New York City Couple

 

A romantic air takes over New York City during the winter months. Perhaps it’s the atmospheric lighting or chilling temps, but everyday sights have a dreamy, cinematic quality about them. Couples planning to say “I Do” this season are especially lucky because they can take advantage of the wintry city scenes to create once in-a-lifetime snapshots. Landmark destinations like Central Park and the Brooklyn Bridge along with hidden gems such as a moody lit cobblestone alley become the perfect backdrop for taking unforgettable winter wedding photos in New York City.

 

 

No matter how many times we see it, the ‘Just Married” couple embracing on a busy street in the Big Apple never gets old. For the winter bride, stopping midtown traffic also offers the chance to show off her luxurious wrap.

 

 

One of the city’s most iconic features, the Brooklyn Bridge takes on a particularly striking character during the cooler months. This is one spot that promises an epic windswept dress shot. With fine art painting-like perspective, repeating lines, and natural framing, the structure is a photographer’s dream backdrop.

 

 

Sure, wedding photos can be taken in a bar anytime of the year. But looking back at those photos of the two of you taking refuge to cozy up at your favorite pub will conjure warm and fuzzy feelings for years to come.

 

 

Just keeping it real over here. Take this winter bride’s lead – save the Jimmy Choos for the walk down the aisle and be sure to pack a pair of insulated boots for later.

 

 

Garden weddings aren’t just for spring and summer. Our Real BB Weddings couple Lorenza and Pete had their reception at the New York Botanical Garden. The grounds looked like a winter wonderland, providing the newlyweds with magical photos to remember the evening.

 

 

A vintage NYC taxi, snow falling all around, newlyweds kissing under an umbrella… what’s not to love about this photo? And veils off to the bride for still rocking a short dress and heels!

 

 

Our Real BB Wedding couple Kelly and Andrew married at Tribeca Rooftop, a venue located in Lower Manhattan where some twists and turns remain as they were decades before. Flanked by their wedding party, the happy bride and groom stopped to pose on a quiet, cobblestone street.

 

 

No list of where to take wedding photos in New York City is complete without mention of Central Park. Changing with the seasons, the urban natural oasis becomes all the more romantic under a blanket of freshly fallen snow.

 

 

The great beauty of winter is that it doesn’t need much to look aesthetically appealing. Sometimes the perfect snowy wedding photo op finds you.

Weather is the one aspect of wedding planning that you have absolutely no control over. We hope these ideas give you the courage to face the frosty temps and precipitation that come with winter nuptials in New York City. Do this and you are guaranteed to come away with a breathtaking photo album.
