in New York-New York City
Good morning knotties,

My wedding is next Saturday (July 31st)  and I don't know where to take wedding photos.   Originally I was going to take them at the Cloisers in Washington Heights, but thats where I took my engagement photos.  My church is in Times Square and the Reception is in the Bronx in the Throggs Neck area.  Any suggestions?  I appreciate any help.
Thanks

    I've never been, but it looks nice: Wave Hill

    or the New York Botanical Garden

    Times Sq itself would lend itself to so many cool photos - a good photographer will be able to weave you in and out of pedestrian traffic to get some nice shots.  Then since you have to go up to the Bronx, I'd drive along the west side and find a few spots for photos.  The Cloisters is pretty big, unless you took so many photos in other areas, I'd still consider that a spot, or at least the nice, grassy areas leading up to it.

    You could also drive along the east side and take a few pictures off the FDR Drive.  You should also try talking to your photographer; when deciding things, my photographer was knowledgable of the area and also matters that make for good photos, and he was able to suggest lots of things I hadn't considered.

    Grand Central?  I think you need a permit, but you could take some gorgeous photos in there.

    We did photos at Bryant Park, Times Square and Lincoln Center which would all be convenient for you (lots of pics in my bio).  Our Times Square shots are some of my fav.  I also LOVE photos in Grand Central (we did some of our engagement photos there).  I also second the suggestion to talk to your photog.

    Van Courtlandt Park,  Pelham Bay Park, There's another park right by the Whitestone bridge.  I can't remember the name of it.  You can get some cool photos with the bridge in the background.

    What venue are you using for your reception if  you don't mind me asking?

    Will do.  My wedding is next week and I will definitely post my review when I get from my honeymoon.  Thanks for the park info!
