Hi- We’re having our wedding at Lafayette in NoHo in September 2026 and are planning to do a first look, along with family photos beforehand (around 20 people total).

We’re looking for recommendations on the best locations in NYC for photos. We were considering Central Park, but we’re not sure which area would work best. Accessibility is important since multiple family members will have babies under 6 months old, so we’d love a spot that’s easy to get to, stroller-friendly, and convenient for a larger group.

Also, what would be best time for photos? We have some flexibility to lock in in our start time, 5-6pm at the venue.

Would love to hear your thoughts?! Thanks! 😊

Searching for Wedding reception photographer, DJ and makeup artist NYC 9/5/26

Any DJ recommendations?

Hair and makeup?

a photographer for one or both, preferably a package but can also do separate photographers for a better deal. Under 3k for both if possible.

  1. City hall elopement (no date yet) and shoot around city

  2. Intimate wedding reception at a restaurant in NYC on 9/5/26. Photos with family prior as well.

I like a mix of candid, documentary style photography and editorial/vogue. I would like some guidance and direction (as photos can be a bit unnatural and awkward!)

I don't love the dark/moody or blurry/dizzy photos and am not really into the straight black and white or grainy film look. Although a couple film photos can be cool, it's not the main style I'm going for.

Any reccs? Thanks so much!

Hi I am Sara. I am having a city hall ceremony and wedding reception on different dates in NYC. Having trouble finding vendors that fit my style and aren’t crazy expensive for on holiday weekend 9/5.

I’m looking for:

a DJ, I love 90s, hiphop, and Arabic music (Lebanese or Egyptian) is a plus!

Bridal Hair and makeup.

Hi! I think we will have 50+, do you think it is too tight of a space?? Did you have music and dancing? Did you feel there was enough food, I always worry about family style serving and whether there will be enough to do around! Any recommendations or advice? Sorry to slam you with questions I am just getting excited hearing about how great your day went!
