Ibrahim's NYC Harbor Yacht Proposal

Finding a truly unique location for your proposal can be difficult in the city that has it all, and has 9 million people around you. Nothing is more grand, more private, more intimate, and more unforgettably unique / special than proposing on a private sailboat / yacht at sunset with the New York City skyline immediately behind you. Ibrahim’s proposal one evening after work this past July was special.

Jared's Surprise Proposal at Pebble Bar

At the corner of Sixth Avenue and 49th Street, a slate-gray, four-story brick townhouse is nestled among towering buildings, like a pebble surrounded by boulders. Constructed in the 1870s, the house has witnessed more than 150 years of New York City history. A bar, in a variety of forms, has occupied the ground floor for nearly as long. And, at the beginning of February 2020, a new spot, Pebble Bar, continued the tradition and started a new tradition for Jared and Hannah.

Caffe Panna Secret Proposal

What was so unique of Raunak’s proposal in Gramercy was his attention to detail and creativity. Caffe Panna is their favorite ice cream spot in their neighborhood of Gramercy, so it was a very fitting spot to propose. Raunak worked with the store to create a custom menu with their favorite flavors and a special message at the bottom, “Will You Marry Me”.

Ethan's Transmitter Park Greenpoint Brooklyn Marriage Proposal

Morning proposals are some of our favorites for sure. However, nothing beats photographing a secret morning proposal in Greenpoint Brooklyn with the NYC skyline behind a great couple couple. Ethan’s proposal in Transmitter Park Saturday morning could not have gone any better. The couple was out for their normal morning walk before getting coffee. They took their normal route, stopped at their favorite coffee shop, and on the way back took in the view.

Secretly Photographing Mitchell's Pier 17 NYC Tropical Storm Marriage Proposal

Why you should choose pier 17 for your nyc proposal

Pier 17 on Manhattan’s East side is such a great place to propose, day or night. Close to the beautiful and historic cobblestoned Fulton Street, revitalized Pier 17 offers not only an amazing view of the Brooklyn Bridge, but top notch restaurants. And for the icing on the cake, this area is not heavily visited by tourists unlike DUMBO Brooklyn Bridge Park, Central Park, or other parts of the city where we frequently photograph.

When helping clients plan their secret marriage proposal anywhere in NYC my tops questions are:

• How are you going to convince your partner to look nice?

• How are you going to get them there rain or shine?

• Why do you have to be there at exactly or close to “Y” time?

The answer to these questions: make a brunch or dinner reservation and make it somewhere with a view. This is exactly what Mitchell did for his Friday night proposal on Pier 17.

How do you plan a proposal when you can’t plan the weather in new york city?

Rain, Rain, Go away… and maybe come back another day? I am always looking at the weather and I am always trying to plan ahead. However, I never look too far ahead. At most, I look 2-3 days ahead to gauge what could happen on an hourly basis. Two days before your proposal is when I start to come up with a plan. Is it going to rain all day, just in the morning, between 2pm and 4pm, or is it going to rain for just a few minutes?

Working with Jonathan Heisler Photography you get a team of photographers offering you flexibility. If it’s going to pour at 1pm, let’s move your NYC proposal 12pm or 2pm. If you were going to propose after dinner and now it’s going to monsoon, let’s propose before dinner and call dinner a celebratory dinner.
