Unique Brooklyn Engagement Party Venue| NYC Wedding Photographer



Pilot Boat Restaurant at Pier 6, Brooklyn Bridge Park


If you're dreaming of a chic, intimate engagement celebration in New York City, Pilot is a hidden gem. This restored 1920s schooner-turned-restaurant offers a one-of-a-kind floating experience, moored right in Brooklyn Bridge Park. With sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline, whitewashed wood, and golden-hour light, it’s the perfect venue for a celebration that feels effortless and elevated.


As a New York City wedding photographer, this engagement party was everything I love—sunset portraits, candid moments, and a setting that felt romantic and relaxed all at once.


Why Pilot is the Perfect NYC Engagement Party Venue:

– Iconic views of the NYC skyline

– Seasonal cocktails and oysters served dockside

– Breezy, timeless ambiance on the water

– Golden-hour light for radiant, natural portraits


Style Notes:

The couple’s style was timeless and refined. She wore a stunning white silk maxi skirt paired with a structured white corset. I loved it, it was elevated and modern, yet effortlessly bridal. He complemented her look in a blue-gray blazer over a crisp white shirt and dark blue slacks, striking the perfect balance between formal and relaxed. Their sophisticated palette paired beautifully with the soft nautical tones of the boat and the golden-hour light, creating a cohesive, editorial feel throughout the evening.


Planning an NYC Engagement Party?

Whether you're hosting on a boat, a rooftop, or an intimate venue in Manhattan or Brooklyn, I’d love to capture it. My style is editorial-meets-candid—always centered on connection, light, and intention.
