If you’re looking for an iconic NYC neighborhood for your engagement photos, go to Greenwich Village! It’s super diverse. You’ll find many different types of architecture — old and new. The colors of the buildings, houses, and doors are also very interesting. Even the streets are curiously divers. They’re small and narrow in some places. Some Greenwich Village streets are made of cobblestone, decades and even centuries old. So check out Greenwich Village for your engagement photos! I’ve photographed many engagement and portrait sessions in that neighborhood and they’re all unique and interesting.

The Village is also on the High Line

Another great idea is to go use the lower part of the High Line. It’s another interesting and diverse place right in Greenwich Village for your engagement photos. The nearby High Line is a beautiful walkway with interesting views, and it also has diverse landscaping, plants, places to sit, etc. It’s just really cool. And again, you don’t have to leave the neighborhood, just go up the steps from the northwest area of Greenwich Village.
