Peyton's Proposal atop Central Park's Cat Rock

Cat’s Rock sits above the Central Park Wollman ice skating rink. This proposal location provides a view of “Billionaire Row” and it’s very conveniently located in the southern part of Central Park, near Gapstow Bridge. I suggest this spot to many clients when they ask about proposing in Central Park and capturing a view of NYC. While the daytime is a great time for photos at Cat’s Rock, dusk as the city lights come lets this spot shine!

A True NYC Winter Proposal atop Cat's Rock in Central Park

Where and when to propose in Central Park - Cat’s Rock in the morning is the spot that provides privacy and a view.

Photographing proposals in Central Park against nature and the concrete jungle is such a contrast from the typical New York City hustle and bustle proposal. Finding the right spot in Central Park for you really depends on time of day (lighting), if you have a special place in the park, and the seasons. Another factor to consider is how busy will the park be during your proposal? Do mind others in your photos or would you like more privacy?

Kyle's Central Park Proposal Atop Cat's Rock

How Kyle Proposed: Kyle and Molly went for a normal morning walk through Central Park. However, this wasn’t going to be just a normal walk. Kyle initially chose a small cove in front of the Gapstow Bridge, but upon Kyle and Molly arriving another couple with their photographer liked that idea too. So, we went over to Cat’s Rock overlooking the ice skating rink.
