New York City, NY Wedding Photographer & Videographer
Coastal estates, historic ballrooms, and four true seasons — New York City sets a formal stage and we love it.
Coastal estates, historic ballrooms, and four true seasons — New York City sets a formal stage and we love it.
From harbor light to foliage season, New York City weddings carry a classic register — historic venues, formal timelines, family traditions. We know how to run an efficient formals session and still disappear into the candid moments.
Elizabeth Scott is a national studio: senior photographers and filmmakers, travel already included, and a calendar kept deliberately small so every wedding gets a first-team crew. If we haven’t worked your exact venue yet, we scout it before your day — light, timing, logistics — so nothing about New York City surprises us on the morning of.
Selected frames from the Elizabeth Scott portfolio. Ask and we will send full galleries from weddings closest in size and setting to yours.
Ceremony time decides how your photographs look, and the answer is different in New York City than it is three states over. In June the sun sets here at 8:28 PM and golden hour opens around 7:47 PM; by October sunset has slid back to 6:15 PM — a swing of 2 hours 13 minutes across one wedding season. Start a New York City ceremony at roughly the times below and you will finish vows, family formals, and portraits with the good light still in front of you rather than behind you.

| May | 5:21 PM | 7:26 PM | 8:06 PM | 14.5 h |
| June | 5:43 PM | 7:47 PM | 8:28 PM | 15.1 h |
| July | 5:41 PM | 7:45 PM | 8:26 PM | 14.8 h |

| September | 4:20 PM | 6:29 PM | 7:05 PM | 12.5 h |

Times computed for New York City (New York) on the 15th of each month. An outdoor ceremony in open shade can run 20–30 minutes later than the figures above; a church or ballroom ceremony is unaffected.
These are the New York City venues couples ask us about most. We have not shot every one of them — nobody has — so when a venue is new to us we scout it before your date: light through the ceremony hour, where formals hold up, how long the walk from getting-ready to first look actually takes.

One senior team for both — the smoothest timeline.
No. Elizabeth Scott is a national studio and travel is built into every collection, so a New York City wedding costs the same as one across the street from us.
Yes. Every collection is available as photography, film, or both from one senior team. Combined coverage starts at $3,000 and gives you a single timeline instead of two vendors negotiating for the same light.
Not every venue in New York City, and we say so. When a venue is new to us we scout it before your date: ceremony light, where formals hold up, how long the walk between spaces really takes.
Timeless, true-to-color imagery — several hundred edited photos per wedding.
Story-first edits built from your real audio — vows, letters, laughter.
One team for both — the best value and the smoothest timeline.
