NYC Skyline

Bryan's Jersey City Proposal along the Hoboken Waterfront

As Bryan and Mary walked towards the Manhattan skyline I knew capturing today’s surprise marriage proposal along the Hoboken, NJ waterfront was going to be special. Bryan held Mary’s hand with one hand and a small black box in the other. Mary looked out at the New York City completely unaware of what was about to happen.Bryan backed away from Mary, got down on one knee as he opened the box to reveal a sparkling diamond ring. Mary's was in shock as she realized what was happening, and she began to cry. The backdrop of the Manhattan skyline served as the perfect setting for this memorable occasion.

Is Hoboken, nj a good spot to propose?

Proposals in Sinatra Park and Hoboken, NJ are a lot different, yet similar than those in Manhattan or Brooklyn. There are never any tourists and the area is always more private. The view is always clear and no matter which way they face you are guaranteed to get an amazing view of the NYC skyline.

Matt + Erica Gantry Plaza Proposal

,

Congrats Matt and Erica! About a month ago, Matt and I started planning how and where he’d propose. Since Matt and Erica live in Long Island City, near Gantry Plaza State Park, Gantry Plaza with its awesome views of the New York City skyline only made sense.

Photographing a Long Island City Proposal makes me love NYC that much more. It is quintessential New York

Together, Matt and I, scouted the area, sent texts and emails with screenshots of the area, watched the weather, created a Plan A and a Plan B, and decided on a post proposal restaurant for a brunch.

The morning of Matt’s proposal the weather was “iffy” with rain in forecast. I arrived to Gantry Plaza a whole 90 minutes early to send Matt final photos of our Plan A location. I also sent a Plan B location which was under an awning. Finally, with 40 minutes to go and the rain drops subsiding we said “Plan A is a go!”. The skies cleared.

As I saw Matt and Erica approach I cleared the pier. It was a HUGE surprise for Erica.
