I advise my clients to use a small roller travel bag in such cases. It can even be used as a prop!
@bomphoto:Thanks, that is a great suggestion!
What has everyone else used in the past? Or should we just try to stick closer to our apartment?
We did our wedding pictures at the brooklyn bridge park, and they turned out amazing! You get the bridge, the skyline and the Statue of Liberty. Highly recommend! Also, the piers in Long Island City are a great place for the skyline.
We're going to do the Highline, West Village and Grand Central. I'm not sure I'll change clothes, though. I might bring a change of clothes, but I'm afraid they'll get wrinkled.
We're still waiting to do our e-pics due to bad weather forecasts (tear), but I did want to fill everyone in on our plan. We're going to start at our apartment and do the formal shots in our neighborhood. After that, we'll change into more casual clothes and head over to the High Line. Has anyone else done High Line e-pics? Would love to see them if you did!
I'm sure High Line shots will turn out gorgeous--it's such a cool setting! We just did ours out at Governor's Island--I figured it would give us a mix of backdrops (Lower Manhattan, Statue of Liberty, plus some cool old buildings and shady lawns), and not be too crowded (I am sure a good photographer has no problem with crowds but we would have felt even more awkward posing with more people around). We ended up just doing one set of casual clothes, though.
Hi Holly! I have done several engagement shoots on the High Line, with the most recent being on Tuesday night. The bride to be actually changed her outfit on the High Line with some ingenuity and the help of her fiance (and me trying to create a diversion, haha!). The High Line is a great place to shoot, just keep in mind the following rules:
1. you can't block the walkways (the best thing to do is wait for a gap in the flow of people)
2. you can't go into the grassy areas
3. you can't hold the elevator door open (you'll see what I mean when you go there - if your photog wants some shots in there, make them super fast or have him/her ride with you!).
If you break any of these rules somebody on the park staff will stop you. But otherwise it's pretty much free range for shooting!! It's an awesome locale and I know your pics will be incredible!!!
We just took engagement pics in the Meatpacking District/on the High Line/in Hudson River Park (just north of Chelsea Piers, along the river - very pretty!) yesterday. We brought a change of clothes in a small bag; we just set the bag down out of frame when taking pictures, or our photographer carried it for action-type shots.
We changed clothes in the restrooms at Chelsea Piers before taking the Hudson River Park pictures; that worked out well. There are also restrooms along the High Line.
The High Line is very crowded, especially now that the second section north of 20th St has opened. It's hard as some of the paths are quite narrow and there's a constant flow of people passing by. I would have a few more locations in mind in case the High Line turns out to be too crowded to work with.

We are getting our engagement photos taken in a few weeks and trying to decide where in New York to have them taken. I was thinking either Brooklyn Bridge Park or the High Line. My dilema is that I would like to have images of us both in dressy and casual outfits. Unless we're walking around our neighborhood and can run home to change, what do we do with all of our stuff? I'm sure my FI could carry a backpack but I somehow thinks that takes away from things. Please help! What did other people do?
