Photographing a wedding here

Water changes the light. We plan couple portraits for the last hour before sunset where the schedule allows, and keep an eye on wind for anything near the shoreline.

Gardens change week to week. We check what is in bloom close to your date and plan portraits around the best of it.

This guide is independent. RF Studios is not affiliated with Snug Harbor Cultural Center, and being listed here is not an endorsement either way. Details change, so confirm dates, capacity and house rules directly with the venue.
