As a Secret Central Park Proposal Photographer, we don’t often actually have to hide. We usually blend in amongst the tourists and the bird watchers with our camera. However, for Allen and Mata, Allen requested we be 100% out of site and not introduce ourselves post proposal. His hope was Mata would not know their moment was photographed until later.
Where to propose in New York City?
That’s often our most asked question. My answer is pick a place with meaning. For some couples, Central Park, NY is where they spent the most time getting to know one another. For others, it’s the Brooklyn Promenade waterfront overlooking all of Manhattan. Chose a place that is both beautiful and important.
For Allen, Central park was that special place as it’s where they take their dog everyday. Proposing in Manhattan’s Central Park made the most sense.
As a New York City Proposal Photographer I enjoy getting to know couple and I love photographing the moment their relationship enters the next step.
Today’s proposal session, was so cool! As the couple approached, I was hidden out of site photographing. First, Allen came with their new 10 week old German Shorthaired Pointer and then Mata caught up with their 4 year old Weimaraner. After some small talk, Allen got right down to business. He told Mata how much she meant to him. Then, he got down on one knee and asked.
Congrats!
