The Bronx, quieter and better for it.
The Bronx gives us some of the most underrated wedding backdrops in the city — the New York Botanical Garden's Conservatory and rose gardens, Wave Hill's Hudson view from Riverdale, the boardwalk at Pelham Bay, and the historic streetscape of Arthur Avenue's Little Italy. It's quieter than Manhattan and Brooklyn for portrait work, which is exactly the point.

The NYBG Rose Garden peaks in June and again in September. Wave Hill faces west over the Hudson, so late afternoon into sunset is its hour — and weekday slots there feel like a private garden.
