There are four parts of the park which are absolutely lovely that we are considering for our photo shoot. We only get 2 hours of time with Ed Hafizov, our incredibly talented photographer - http://www.zorzstudios.com/ . So here are the top five places that we are hoping to fit into our photo session!
#4: Shakespeare Garden - West Side Btwn 79th & 80th Streets
We love this area of the park simply because it is gorgeous. This garden is called Shakespeare Garden for two reasons- the first being is that it is directly attached to the Shakespearian Theater which puts on professional Shakespeare plays with "regular" stage actors and movies stars who are trying to prove that they are still "legit" stage actors. The second reason for the name is because all of the plants and flowers in the garden are named in Shakespeare's plays. It's a lovely four acre oasis in the middle of the park, and it would be a gorgeous spot for some romantic photos.
#3 Belvedere Castle - Mid-Park at 79th Street
Yes kiddies, there is a real-live mini castle nestled inside of the park called Belvedere Castle. It overlooks both the Turtle Pond and the Shakespeare Theater. You can see for miles and miles from the highest vantage point seen in the picture. My lovie and I were up there last summer, and let me tell you, it's higher than it appears to the eye. While it was a lovely view, the chicken in me is terrified of the height! We took a photo in one of the little side turrets - gorgeous but scary!!
#2 Bethesda Terrace - Mid-Park at 72nd Street
This terrace includes Bethesda Fountain,which is also known as the Angel of the Waters Fountain (where we also want to take some photos), and the Arcade, which have both been featured in many movies and TV shows. One of my absolute favorites has to be from the movie "Enchanted", when they all dance and sing throughout Central Park! The theater chick in me wants to recreate that scene, but sadly I don't think it's in the cards just yet. This part of the park is just lovely. There are usually roving musicians, street performers, tourists snapping away with their expensive cameras, and it never fails to see a wedding party taking their photos here. There really is no more picturesque fountain in the park than Bethesda Fountain.
#1 Gapstow Bridge - East Side at 62nd Strret
This gorgeous bridge, situated at the beginning of Central Park, has been filmed and photographed hundreds of thousands of times. It is by far, in my humble opinion, one of the most picturesque bridges in NYC. It's small, out-of-the-way, and absolutely beautiful. There is just something so fairytale magic-y about it, don't you agree? I had always hoped to have photos taken at this location, and I really hope that we will be able to work it into our session!
Well, that's it for now kiddies! Please feel free to explore Central Park as soon as possible! It is full of possibilities! Here are some extra photos of places that I love, but that I cannot fit into our engagement session this coming weekend!
Central Park Carousel
Alice in Wonderland
The Children's Zoo
