#nyc proposal

Congrats to New York City’s newest engaged couple, Joey and Marisa!

With the craziness of the Corona Virus going on we were restricted as to where Joey could propose. Not all place would allow a photographer in to their establishment and not all places (restaurants, hotels, venues) could guarantee they’d even be open. Instead, we chose Marissa’s paren’t apartment on the Upper East Side for their secret marriage proposal.

I arrived 30 minutes early to photograph detail photos of Joey’s decorations.

As an experienced NYC Proposal Photographer, I appreciate photographing every proposal because each proposal is unique.

Congrats to New York City’s newly engaged couple, Alex and Lauren!

Lauren, I think it was worthing going up to the 23rd floor rooftop on a windy 18* February day to “checkout the New York City skyline”. Alex’s proposal was so genuine.

Proposal Photography - Not my first rodeo.

Congrats James and Ari!

How to plan a secret marriage proposal with a photographer

Several weeks before James’ proposal we met at Pier 17 to rehearse where and how he’d propose to Ari. The only thing left was the weather, and the weather was perfect! Prior to Jame’s proposal, I asked him all of the key questions I needed to, so I could photograph the moment perfectly.

What time are you going to propose?

Which direction will you be coming from?

How are you going to get her to the location?

What’s your Plan B if it rains?

NYC Proposal Photographer in action

Right on time, James and Ari walked through Pier 17, and towards our planned location with its amazing views of the Brooklyn Bridge. The second I saw the couple approaching I started photographing. Ari did not suspect a thing!

Popping The Question - New York City Style

The Best NYC Proposal Photography …

Photographing a marriage proposal involves a great guy, an amazing girl, and a plan. How and where will you propose are the top questions I ask my clients. From the start, Rice knew how he was going to propose to Sarah and where. He made my job of photographing their proposal in the Meatpacking District of NYC so easy and fun.

Knowing when to propose

The second the Rice and Sarah stopped walking, passing by New Yorkers and tourists alike knew Rice was going to propose. Sarah on the other hand did not. She was SHOCKED as Rice stopped to get down on one knee! Photographing their proposal was genuinely exciting.

Mini-Engagement Session Photos

I’m excited to have captured Roman’s proposal to Lauren, as that night was the perfect fall night for a proposal. It was not too cold and it was not too windy, and it was not raining. Roman chose Washington Square Park under the arch for it’s southern view of the World Trade Center and for it's northern view of the Empire State Building. Roman and I planned the exact spot he’d propose.. His execution could not have been better!

That night, Roman and Lauren walked across the park on their way to dinner. As they passed through the arch Roman stopped and started to tell Lauren how much she meant to him. Then, he proposed.

Congrats Matt and Abigail! This was my first time visiting the new Hudson Yards and seeing the Vessel, so it was certainly my first time photographing a proposal at the Vessel. Matt scoped out the area a few weeks prior, just as the area was opened to the public, which was super cool! We discussed where he’d enter, how he was going to propose, and what his story was going to be for having Abigail come all the way to the West Side.

I arrived an hour early and checked out the scene. Crowded, of course. Matt and Abigail arrived, and Matt asked a passer buy for a photo, but no one agreed to take a photo (CRAZY!?!?). Matt slowly started to tell Abigail about their first date, why he cared about her, and what she meant to him. Then, he got down on one knee.
