M + H // Central Park Elopement Photography

April, 2022 | Bethesda Fountain & Terrace, Central Park


Central Park Elopement Photography

It doesn’t get more intimate or romantic than an elopement in Central Park, particularly in one of my favorite spots. Elopement photography at the Bethesda Fountain and Terrace in Central Park is an absolute dream. The brief wedding ceremony happened under the arches of the Bethesda Terrace with just M + H and an officiant and me.

Then we did an elopement portrait session at the Bethesda Fountain. We started at the fountain itself, then moved under the arches and to the stairs. As always, I recommend doing what these two did and make it all happen before 10AM. You get the park to yourself (except for a few doggies happily running around), and you get the beautiful morning light floating through the park.

The route continued down The Mall where we stopped by the Naumberg Bandshell, then down south of Central Park where they wanted to get portraits in front of the NYC skyline. These rocks aren’t where most photographers go, but it’s a favorite spot of mine since it gets you a little higher, with a little more "oomph” :)

Such a lovely, quiet couple, and a peaceful, wonderful elopement.
