Gantry Plaza

Patrick's Long Island City Engagement Session at Sunset

The Long Island City waterfront captures New York City perfectly with its iconic New York City views; Empire State Building, 59th street bridge, the UN and our famous NYC Sunset/Sunrises. However, what I like most about photographing in Long Island City and Gantry Plaza State Park is how private and intimate this area is when compared to other parts of New York City. Luckily the tourists haven’t figured this out yet!

Tonight’s engagement session with Patrick and Sam during golden hour could not have been any better.

Pascal's Spring Proposal at Gantry Plaza LIC

Gantry Plaza Shows Off NYC Oh So Well!

Pascal and I started planning his proposals week ago. This well before his and Kara’s first visit to New York City from Germany. Since he had never been to Gantry Plaza in Long Island, and only saw photos of it, it was crucial to plan every detail, and make sure he was confident in the plan. I sent pascal a map screenshot of where to go and examples of what his big moment could look like. It could not have gone any better!

Mike and Amanda - Long Island Gantry Plaza NYC Proposal

Congrats Amanda and Mike!

Mike and I started planning how and where he’d propose week ago. Since Amanda and Matt live together, planning the secret proposal was done mostly while Mike was at work or while he was in the car commuting to his job as a teacher on Long Island.

Photographing a New York City Proposal at Gantry Plaza makes me love NYC that much more. The view.

Together, Mike and I scouted the area and sent texts discussing how he’d propose. We watched the weather, planned the day prior to the proposal as well as their post-proposal celebration at a nearby wine bar.

The day finally arrived and I made sure to get to Gantry Plaza early.

As I saw Mike and Amanda approach the pier, I asked several people if they wouldn’t mind moving to the side for a proposal.

Capturing a mini-engagement session after your proposal provides you not only additional photos, but different looks (jacket or no jacket, different poses, and different locations)

We took full advantage of the the beautiful New York skyline throughout our post-proposal shoot. My favorite part about a Gantry Plaza proposal is photographing the Long Island sign behind the couple if they are from, or live, on Long Island, NY.
