The Proposal Plan: Spencer proposed to Hayden on their trip to New York City to kickoff the holiday season! We chose The Edge at Hudson Yards for its unobstructed views of the NYC skyline. The skyline would add context to their moment. Every time I photograph at The Edge, I love it more and more.
Hayden and Spencer arrived to the top of The Edge right on time! Upon seeing them, Spencer and I made eye contact. They walked over and Spencer asked me, “a stranger”, if I could take a photo of them with his iPhone.
I took several photos with Spencer’s iPhone and I offered a few instructions on how to pose. Then, Spencer turned to Hayden, and started to tell her about all of the reasons he loved her. Spencer dropped to one knee and popped the question. Hayden was so shocked, full of emotion, and simply ecstatic!
Proposing at The Edge, NYC Takes Some Planning
You’ll have to buy tickets to visit The Edge at Hudson Yards, and so will your photographer. Many people ask when is the best time to propose at The Edge, and the best answer is mornings or afternoons, just not mid-day The lighting is so good at The Edge, as the light reflects off of the building on to the viewing deck.
To propose at The Edge and have your moment photographed by a professional proposal photographer book your tickets, and have your NYC proposal photographer book his/her tickets before you. That way they are up top before you. I have several recommendations on where up top you should propose and where, but I’ll tell you about that later! Using my experience as a professional NYC Proposal Photographer really pays off when it comes to photographing proposals at The Edge, or anywhere in New York City.
