When choosing a wedding photographer, it’s common to ask yourself, “Where do I begin?” Sometimes, the where can be quite literal! There are so many incredible wedding photographers from around the world just by Google-ing. It can be an overwhelming process between recommendations and advertisements—but it doesn’t have to be. New York City is notorious for being one of the greatest cities in the world. It’s home to some of the best of the best in fashion, food, art, and photography. If you live in the city, why not keep it simple and start by hiring a local NYC engagement photographer?

5 Reasons to Hire an NYC Engagement Photographer

The first reason is self-explanatory; weddings are expensive enough without the need to pay for an out-of-town photographer’s flights and hotel for the wedding weekend. Hiring a New York wedding photographer can instantly save you a nice chunk-of-change. Sure, your favorite celebrity’s wedding photographer might be based in Los Angeles. But why not spend that extra cash on something special for you and your partner (a spa day or fancy wedding gifts perhaps). In addition to the money saved, you can also have peace of mind knowing that travel for your special day will be minimized and everyone can remain that much safer amidst the ongoing pandemic.

As an NYC engagement photographer, I have been around the block and over the bridge. Literally. Over the past nine years that I’ve been professionally photographing in New York, it’s safe to say I have found several diamonds in the rough that only a local NYC engagement photographer would know about from years of exploring the big city. There are so many beautiful places to shoot wedding photography in New York, and a local NYC wedding photographer can help you find them!
