Bow Bridge

Will's Rainy Central Park Surprise Proposal

The Bow Bridge in Central Park is a very popular place to propose in New York City. However, it's typically very crowded, not private, and the bridge itself can be narrow. On today's surprise proposal, the weather was not ideal, wet and cold, but it kept the park empty for Will's big moment.

A Winter Afternoon Proposal in Central Park, NYC

Iconic, is the first word that comes to mind when I hear “I want to propose in Central Park”. In late December New York City is a magical place in every sense. Christmas lights are strung, garland is wrapped, horse drawn carriages are clacking around the park, and the cold brisk NYC wind makes warmth feel so much more deserving. Whether it’s the warmth of a hot chocolate in your hand or your partners hand, something warm feels good.

While the leaves and greenery are long gone from Central Park, the views are abundant. The stark contrast between you and the environment stands out, and when photographed it just hits difference. For Matt’s secret proposal, we chose the area just past the Bow Bridge for it’s privacy and view.

Geoff's Central Park Proposal | NYC Proposal Photographer

Just past the Bow Bridge is the best place to propose in Central Park, NY.

Photographing proposals in Central Park is such a contrast from our typical hustle and bustle proposals throughout NYC; rooftops, venues, private apartments, hotels, and restaurants. Hidden just past the famous Bow Bridge is a spot down a short path. Often, tourists and city dwellers alike will stop on the main path to take in the view of the Dakota, but they oddly enough don’t walk the extra 50 feet down the path. What I like about photographing proposals here is how private, intimate, and beautiful it is.

The Plan: The couple was walking through Central Park, from the East Side to the West Side, for dinner.

Central Park Bow Bridge Proposal - Hector and Janet

Congrats to New York City’s newest engaged couple, Hector and Janet!

Visiting New York City to Propose

Neither Hector or Janet had ever been to NYC before, but they both knew New York City was going to be a trip they’d never forget. Several weeks before the couple arrived in Manhattan from their home in San Diego, California, Hector inquired about our proposal photography service. Hector loved the photos we had photographed of previous secret marriage proposals across New York City; Central park, Long Island City, Hudson Yards.

When discussing how he was going to propose and where, I had showed him some of my favorite locations. Eventually, we settles on the area just after the Bow Bridge in Central Park near the iconic Bethesda Fountain and Bow Bridge.
