When to Take Engagement Photos on the High Line

The best time to take your engagement photos on the High Line is during the spring or summer months. The weather is perfect, and the flowers are in bloom, making for a truly romantic setting. However, if you’re planning on doing a shoot during the fall or winter, that can be just as beautiful! The city looks stunning covered in snow, and you’ll definitely stand out in your photos.

What Time of Day is Best for a High Line Engagement Shoot?

The best time of day for a High Line engagement shoot is in the early early morning, right at opening. This location doesn’t open until 7:00AM, so you’ll want to make sure you get there right when it opens in order to avoid the crowds. The light is also perfect at this time, and you’ll be able to capture some truly stunning shots of the cityscape.Vertical color twirl on the street with the dress swirling and brick buildings behind Black and white couple strolling toward the camera down a city street lined with brick warehouse style buildings High line engagement shoot style street portrait of a couple walking in warm light with brick buildings and a glass tower behind them Black and white photo of the couple laughing as they walk side by side past parked cars on a sunny street Color photo of the couple walking together and smiling with brick buildings and parked cars beside them Vertical color portrait of the couple crossing a city street with yellow lines on the pavement Black and white vertical photo of the couple walking across the street with buildings framing the background Vertical color frame of the couple mid stride on the street with a blue glass building above them Couple pausing in the middle of the street with their heads close together, vertical color portrait Couple snuggling cheek to cheek on a quiet street with brick and glass buildings behind Couple walking arm in arm and smiling at each other with a tall glass building in the background Black and white photo of one partner lifted off the ground in a kiss in the middle of an empty street Black and white wide shot of a kiss in the street with one foot popped up and old buildings on both sides Vertical black and white lifted kiss with the couple spinning slightly on the open street Black and white dip kiss with one partner leaning back on a sunny street lined with brick buildings Color dip kiss in the middle of a wide empty street with sunlit buildings on both sides Black and white twirl with hair flying as one partner spins in the street while the other watches Black and white photo of the couple facing each other mid twirl on the pavement Color twirl with the dress flaring as the couple dances in the middle of the street Vertical black and white twirl as one partner spins and the other holds a hand out
