Capturing the Yes
As a photographer, moments like these are what you live for — real emotion, jaw-dropping scenery, and a story that practically tells itself. Adelaide’s reaction to Austin’s proposal was a beautiful blend of joy and overwhelming love. The sweeping skyline framed their embrace like a scene from a classic New York love story. From the candid smiles to the moment Adelaide said yes, every frame was filled with pure magic. Austin and Adelaide’s proposal is a reminder that some love stories deserve a view to match. If you're planning a proposal in New York City, Top of the Rock offers that once-in-a-lifetime backdrop that feels straight out of a movie.
A Moment Above the City
There are proposals — and then there are Top of the Rock proposals. With breathtaking panoramic views of New York City and a skyline that’s second to none, Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center has become one of the most iconic and romantic proposal locations in NYC.
Why Top of the Rock is Perfect for a Proposal
If you’re dreaming of a proposal with a view, Top of the Rock delivers on every level. Unlike other NYC observation decks, it offers:
Striking, unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline, including a head-on view of the Empire State Building.
A three-tiered outdoor observation deck, allowing for a more open and cinematic feel.
360-degree panoramic sights that stretch from Central Park to the Statue of Liberty.
A more intimate and elegant vibe compared to some of the city's busier tourist spots.
Whether you’re planning a sunset proposal or waiting for the city lights to sparkle, the Top of the Rock creates a romantic atmosphere that's both iconic and deeply personal.
