Albert's Private Bow Bridge Proposal

Imagine you could have all of Central Park to yourself for your NYC proposal. That was pretty much Albert’s proposal Wednesday night in New York City’s Central Park. Throughout the week, Albert and I were carefully watching the weather, as the forecast called for rain, until found a window of time when it wasn’t going to be raining. We planned accordingly. We moved the proposal up an hour. The park was empty for his Bow Bridge landing proposal. And the best part? It didn’t rain a single drop.

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?

Cat’s Rock above the Central Park ice skating rink is the spot that provides a view while be convenient. I suggest this spot to many clients when they ask about the park and capturing a view of NYC.
