Ryan + Hannah | Central Park Winter Proposal

Congrats to the newly engaged couple, Ryan and Hannah!

HOW I PHOTOGRAPHED A CENTRAL PARK PROPOSAL

The back story to photographing this iconic NYC proposal | Ryan and I, worked out a day and a location for his marriage proposal. The location would be Central Park’s Bow Bridge and the Bethesda Fountain on Saturday. Both locations are great places to photograph proposals in New York City and both capture iconic NYC points of interest. However, as we got closer we saw it was going to rain/ snow on Saturday. Although, we had a plan B indoor location, it wasn’t what either of us had planned. Most importantly, it wasn’t what Ryan wanted.

I reassured Ryan that I could photograph in the rain if he wanted to go ahead with his original plan. In fact, I’ve photographed countless marriage proposals in Manhattan and Brooklyn in the rain, sleet, snow, and extreme heat. But we agreed to reschedule and it was going to be for the better.

The solution was moving the proposal to Friday. Ryan and I were in constant contact about the new date, new time, and even the new location. This new location was where they went on one of their first dates and had great views of Manhattan looking South.
