Congrats Amanda and Mike!
Mike and I started planning how and where he’d propose week ago. Since Amanda and Matt live together, planning the secret proposal was done mostly while Mike was at work or while he was in the car commuting to his job as a teacher on Long Island.
Photographing a New York City Proposal at Gantry Plaza makes me love NYC that much more. The view.
Together, Mike and I scouted the area and sent texts discussing how he’d propose. We watched the weather, planned the day prior to the proposal as well as their post-proposal celebration at a nearby wine bar.
The day finally arrived and I made sure to get to Gantry Plaza early.
As I saw Mike and Amanda approach the pier, I asked several people if they wouldn’t mind moving to the side for a proposal.
Capturing a mini-engagement session after your proposal provides you not only additional photos, but different looks (jacket or no jacket, different poses, and different locations)
We took full advantage of the the beautiful New York skyline throughout our post-proposal shoot. My favorite part about a Gantry Plaza proposal is photographing the Long Island sign behind the couple if they are from, or live, on Long Island, NY.
