NYC Gay wedding photographer

Lisa and Liliana Harbor Links Wedding

Congrats to Lisa and Liliana on tying that knot! As a Long Island wedding photographer I love meeting new couples and being a part of their wedding day.

photographing weddings in September on long island is great

Saturday evening provided us the perfect mid-September weather and Harbor Links Golf Course was the most picturesque place for a wedding. As a New York wedding photographer, I pray for great weather (temperature, humidity, light), and a happy easy to work with couple. Lisa and Liliana, and their guests provided me all of the right tools to successfully photograph their wedding.

Harbor links golf course makes great wedding photos and leaves you forgetting you are on a man made course.

As a wedding photographer I visit venue after venue, and I know what the go to photos are to capture at each location. Weddings at Harbor Links in Port Washington, NY offer more than just a golf course behind the couple in their photographs. The landscaping offers prairie grasses, water features, walking paths, and woods. Our wedding photos of the couple and of ceremony at Harbor Links are not just greenways or sand traps.

Shawn and Dusty Springtime Central Park Marriage Proposal

How to find and plan a Central Park NY proposal

Shawn reached out to Jonathan Heisler Photography about a month before he and his partner, Dusty, would travel from Colorado to visit New York City. Since it was their first time visiting NYC, for both of them, Shawn needed a well-versed proposal photographer to help plan and photograph the moment.

Does the perfect spot to propose also make great proposal photos?

Knowing that Shawn wanted a quiet spot that still had the essence of NYC, we recommended a private spot in Central Park with a view of the manhattan skyline behind them. Supplying Shawn with reference photos of prior proposals and engagement sessions he had a very good idea of where he’d like to pop the question.

Photographing the planned proposal

On the day of the proposal, I communicated with Shawn to let him know where I’d be hiding and that I had arrived, and was in position before he arrived. Both Jonathan and I, arrive at least 30 minutes before the big moment. As Shawn and Dusty walked through Central Park and approached the agreed upon spot I snapped away. Then, Shawn got down on one knee and asked “Will you marry me?”

Dusty said Yes!

Afterward the big moment and introducing myself, we walked through Central Park, photographing a mini-engagement for the two of them. We picked out a bunch of different and beautiful backgrounds throughout the park, all iconic and unique to New York.
Congrats Dusty and Shawn!
