Through our research into hundreds of New York City wedding photographers, we've learned that shooting weddings in NYC requires a specific skill set that goes beyond just taking beautiful photos. The wedding photographers in New York City we recommend most consistently are those who can handle everything from intimate rooftop ceremonies in Brooklyn to grand ballroom receptions at The Plaza while navigating the city's constant crowds and unpredictable weather. After speaking with Rebecca Goldman, a planner who's been coordinating Manhattan weddings for 15 years, we've identified what separates photographers who truly understand NYC from those who struggle with the city's unique challenges and fast-paced environment.
