Favorite Wedding Venues & Locations


Over the years, we've photographed weddings and couple sessions throughout Long Island, New York City, and destinations beyond. From waterfront venues and vineyards to historic estates, city settings, and destination locations, every place offers something different. Here are some of the venues and locations we've had the opportunity to photograph.

Couple Sessions


Every Ken Hild Photography wedding collection includes a complimentary couple session. Sometimes called an engagement session, it's a chance for us to get to know each other, help you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and create some great photographs together before the wedding day.


There's no wedding-day timeline and no pressure - just time to relax, have fun, and be yourselves. We'll choose a location that feels like you, whether that's a beach, vineyard, park, downtown setting, favorite coffee spot, or somewhere completely different.


Couple sessions take place throughout Long Island, New York City, and beyond. And when your wedding day arrives, being front of the camera together already feels familiar.


And yes - dogs are always welcome.
