I did not think “New York City Proposal Photographer” was a job option. As a professional photographer in nyc, it is.
What makes each and every proposal assignment unique are the couples, their stories, and how they decide to start the next chapter of their journey together. Sure, each proposal is kind of the same, as it’s always someone getting down on one knee to ask “will you marry me?”. However, all of the moments leading up to that single moment and how they design their proposal is genuinely unique. With every inquiry and every proposal we photograph, we learn so much about about our couples and their stories. It’s what we love about being NYC Proposal Photographers.
Photographing Carlos’s Secret Central Park Proposal
The plan was to go to Central Park for a private picnic with all of the fixings; blanket, wine glasses, picnic basket, food, and one another. The execution was just that and more.
From afar I photographed Carlos and Sabrina entering the area we discussed. The opened their blanket and setup their picnic. Sabrina reached in to the basket for one last item and discovered a hand written card Carlos wrote. As Sabrina read the card Carlos dropped down to one knee behind her. Sabrina looked up from the card and there Carlos was with a ring.
