Hampton and Anne-Marie's NYC Brooklyn Rooftop Proposal

It’s no surprise New York is one of the top destinations to propose. Couples travel thousands of miles to make their special moment that much more special. From the iconic Brooklyn Bridge to the peaceful serenity of Central Park to the dazzling lights of Times Square, New York City is truly the most romantic city in the world. It makes our job as NYC Proposal Photographers amazing and easy.

A private nyc rooftop proposal, Amazing.

To date, we’ve photographed hundreds of proposals all throughout New York City, Long Island, Connecticut, and New Jersey. However, one of our favorite types of proposals to photograph is a rooftop proposal. For Hampton, there was no better location to propose than the rooftop of his Williamsburg, Brooklyn apartment terrace with its unobstructed views of all of Manhattan.

How to pick where to propose in NYC?

I always recommend the best place to propose as the one with meaning and significance. For Hampton, besides his awesome view of NYC, his apartment was where the two of them spend the most time together. It’s where they unwind after a long day of work, it’s where they make dinner together, and it’s where they shared their first apartment together.

Secret proposal Photographer, 007.

As a secret proposal photographer, I often don’t actually have to hide. In New York City, every resident and every tourist walks around with a camera. I’m just another guy. However, for a rooftop proposal the element of surprise can be hard, but there are exceptions. Often, I use this cover, “I’m with the building’s marketing team photographing the view. Just ignore me” or I just hide behind furniture.
