Ari and James - Pier 17 NYC Proposal
Congrats James and Ari!
How to plan a secret marriage proposal with a photographer
Several weeks before James’ proposal the two of us met at Pier 17 to rehearse where and how he’d propose to his girlfriend, Ari. The only thing we could not plan was the weather. Prior to James’ proposal, I asked him all of the key questions I needed to, so I could perfectly photograph the moment he asked Ari to marry him.
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. The weather could not have been more perfect, nor could the view 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
After James popped the question we took several posed photos and then did a mini-engagement shoot along Pier 17 and throughout South Street Seaport.
