Rayna and Chet had a sun-soaked DUMBO engagement shoot in Brooklyn. It was a perfect day to be outdoors, and they chose to spend it in one of the most beautiful neighborhoods. As Brooklyn wedding photographers, we love to capture couples in this gorgeous park. These two skipped the Brooklyn Bridge and walked to the waterfront instead.

DUMBO Engagement Shoot in the Summertime in Brooklyn

These two had different looks for each part of the shoot, starting in something light and summery. The first location they chose was the Manhattan Bridge view on Washington Street. This is one of the most popular locations to take engagement photos in Brooklyn Bridge Park. However, it is an active street. You’ll want to arrive early in the morning to ensure that there are no cars or pedestrians in the background.

This is a stunning neighborhood in Brooklyn to take engagement photos. With iconic views of the waterfront, Manhattan, and the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, it offers a variety of locations to capture the perfect photos. We are obsessed with this location and recommend it to many of our couples. You can hit so many iconic locations in such a short period of time.

For a classic DUMBO engagement shoot, we recommend starting right where Rayna and Chet began. You can also start at the Brooklyn Bridge as an alternative. This iconic view is one of the most popular locations for engagement photos in New York. To ensure the background is free of cars and pedestrians, it’s best to arrive early in the morning.

Other popular locations for engagement photos in DUMBO include Jane’s Carousel, the cobblestone streets, and the waterfront. Jane’s Carousel is a beautiful carousel in the center of Brooklyn Bridge Park with views of the river and skyline. The cobblestone streets provide a unique texture for photos, and the waterfront is perfect for sunrise shots.

One of our favorite spots is the Max Family Garden, which features unique architecture and greenery. Plus, right outside of the garden, you get a beautiful view of the Brooklyn Bridge. It’s almost as majestic as hopping onto the bridge itself. We are huge fans of this neighborhood in general.
