The Beekman Hotel: Where Elegance Meets History
For Robert and Giedre, The Beekman Hotel was more than just a beautiful venue—it was the perfect reflection of their chic, city-loving personalities. Nestled in the Financial District, this landmark hotel is known for its stunning nine-story Victorian atrium, grand staircase, and intricate details that create a perfect blend of old-world charm and modern luxury.
We spent most of the session at The Beekman, capturing:
The Atrium: The iconic centerpiece of the hotel was the perfect backdrop for stunning wide-angle shots of the couple. The ornate iron railings, dramatic lighting, and soaring ceilings lent a cinematic quality to the images.
The Staircase: Robert and Giedre descended the grand staircase in style, their looks perfectly complemented by the warm tones of the hotel’s interior.
The Cozy Corners: The hotel’s moody lounges and vintage furniture provided a romantic, intimate setting for candid moments between the couple, perfectly reflecting their lifestyle approach to photography.
Pro Tip: The Beekman’s timeless appeal makes it a popular venue for photoshoots, but its exclusivity and elegance ensure that every session feels unique.
How to Take Engagement or Elopement Photos at The Beekman Hotel
If you’re considering a photoshoot at The Beekman Hotel, here’s what you need to know to make the most of this extraordinary venue:
1. Do You Need a Permit?
The Beekman Hotel allows professional photography sessions, but it’s essential to coordinate with the hotel in advance. For elopements or engagement sessions, they allow photos as long as you book a time slot or room for a fee ahead of time, and you can do it here. It’s a popular location, so planning ahead is key to ensuring your desired shoot time.
2. Timing is Everything
The hotel’s natural light on the top floor is most flattering during the late morning or early afternoon when sunlight filters through the atrium. If you prefer a moodier vibe, evening sessions with the atrium’s warm lighting create a romantic atmosphere.
3. Iconic Spots to Prioritize
The Atrium: A must for dramatic, wide-angle shots.
The Staircase: Perfect for timeless, cinematic photos.
The Bar Room: Capture cozy, lifestyle moments with cocktails or coffee in hand.
The Entryway: The exterior features a blend of classic NYC architecture and contemporary design.
4. Tips for Couples
Dress to complement the venue’s sophisticated aesthetic. Think timeless pieces in neutral or jewel tones to match the rich interiors.
Incorporate personal touches, like a favorite cocktail or an accessory, to reflect your personality and create meaningful images.
Relax and trust your photographer. The Beekman’s charm speaks for itself, and candid moments will shine in this setting.
