Morningside Couple

Harlem Engagement Photographer Donn Thompson

Being a Harlem Engagement Photographer, it's about finding an incredible location that matches the couple's personality and love for each other to tell their story.

In this case, I used Morningside Park in the beautiful village of Harlem, a neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City.

Engagement Shoot in Morningside Park By Donn Thompson

This 30-acre public park is in the Harlem neighbourhood of Manhattan, New York City. This extends from 110th to 123rd Streets and Morningside Avenue to Morningside Drive at the border between Harlem and Morningside Heights, the perfect backdrop for the Nadine & Quincy engagement photo session.

It is adjacent to Columbia University. I like this location because of the many trees and lovely foliage that line the long trails in the park. The many steps, which elevate from one area to the next, bring you to the top of Morningside Heights that overlooks the east side of Manhattan.

The view from the bottom of Morningside Drive looks completely different depending on which street you are standing on. To stand in the park and face south, you can see the downtown skyline. The lovely couple, Nadine and Quincy, displayed the love that grew only stronger as the evening ended and the sunset faded into twilight.

Harlem Photographer Donn Thompson

As a Harlem Wedding Photographer, I have photographed many other types of photography sessions in this park.

Portraits, family portraits, fashion, and beauty. This location offers one of the best views in the fall, with the changing leaves and spectacular fall colors.

If you are from Harlem or nearby, I would highly recommend Morningside Park for any photoshoot.

It's one of my favorite Manhattan locations for any engagement session, or even as a New York Fashion Photographer.
