A picture-perfect proposal
There are proposals—and then there are New York City proposals. When Octavian planned his engagement day, he pulled out all the stops to create a truly unforgettable experience for his partner. As a NYC proposal photographer, I get to witness countless love stories, but this one? It was cinematic, heartfelt, and nothing short of epic.
Spanning from the natural beauty of Central Park to the grandeur of St. Patrick’s Cathedral and the electric energy of Rockefeller Center, Octavian’s proposal was a perfect mix of iconic NYC and deeply personal moments. And to top it off, they celebrated with a stylish gathering at the elegant L’Avenue at Saks.
If you’re dreaming of a proposal that’s both classic and extraordinary, this story is one you’ll want to read—and be inspired by.















Why This NYC Proposal Was One for the Books
From serene to spiritual to celebratory, Octavian’s proposal journey is a perfect example of what makes New York City the ultimate place to pop the question:
Multiple Iconic Locations in one day
Photo-ready backdrops from nature to historic architecture to modern city lights
A seamless blend of romance, culture, and celebration
A narrative arc that tells a full story—not just a moment
