How to HIRe A PROPOSAL proposal PHOTOGRAPHER FOR THE EDGE
Planning this unique proposal location requires some coordination and planning. First, you have to purchase a ticket to guarantee your time slot is available (a must during the holidays). We’ll purchase our ticket for 15 minutes before you. This will guarantee we are in the spot and ready to go before you arrive to the top of The Edge. Once you’re up top, on The Edge, you’re allowed to stay there for an unlimited amount of time. There is no time limit.
FINDING THE BEST SPOT TO PROPOSE atop the Edge CAN BE CHALLENGING! Here is hoW we CHOOSE A SPOT.
Proposing in the morning not only makes for great photos because the lighting is great, but no crowds. It also means an amazing full day of celebrating. The best spot at The Edge is on the eastern side with the Empire State Building behind you. While most people congregate at the point or on the souther side facing the World Trade Center our favorite side is the eastern side of The Edge because you’ll have an iconic view of the Empire State Building
When is the best time of the day to propose at The Edge NYC?
From opening to closing, and from public to private we have captured countless proposals at New York City’s newest Icon, The Edge at Hudson Yards. In my experience the best time to propose here is in the morning, it has great soft lighting and it’s just less crowded. While we have captured wildly beautiful photos up here during sunset, sunset is also the most popular time to go to the Edge. It will be crowded.
Why should i propose at the edge versus Empire State building or top of the rock? Well the Edge has:
- Unobstructed views- Floor to sky glass walls, verses a waist high concrete wall at Empire State Building.
- Full view of the city - With the Empire State Building and Rockefeller in the background. If you’re on the icon, how can you photograph it?
- Larger observation deck - It’s just not as crowded at The Edge, as it’s a large observation deck with plenty of space.
