FINDING THE BEST SPOT TO PROPOSE atop the Edge CAN BE CHALLENGING! Here is hoW we CHOOSE A SPOT.

Proposing in the morning not only makes for great photos because the lighting is great, but no crowds. It also means an amazing full day of celebrating. The best spot at The Edge is on the eastern side with the Empire State Building behind you. While most people congregate at the point or on the souther side facing the World Trade Center our favorite side is the eastern side of The Edge because you’ll have an iconic view of the Empire State Building

When is the best time of the day to propose at The Edge NYC?

From opening to closing, and from public to private we have captured countless proposals at New York City’s newest Icon, The Edge at Hudson Yards. In my experience the best time to propose here is in the morning, it has great soft lighting and it’s just less crowded. While we have captured wildly beautiful photos up here during sunset, sunset is also the most popular time to go to the Edge. It will be crowded.

Why should i propose at the edge versus Empire State building or top of the rock? Well the Edge has:

- Unobstructed views- Floor to sky glass walls, verses a waist high concrete wall at Empire State Building. 

- Full view of the city - With the Empire State Building and Rockefeller in the background. If you’re on the icon, how can you photograph it?

- Larger observation deck - It’s just not as crowded at The Edge, as it’s a large observation deck with plenty of space.

Spencer's NYC Proposal at The Edge

The Proposal Plan: Spencer proposed to Hayden on their trip to New York City to kickoff the holiday season! We chose The Edge at Hudson Yards for its unobstructed views of the NYC skyline. The skyline would add context to their moment. Every time I photograph at The Edge, I love it more and more.

Hayden and Spencer arrived to the top of The Edge right on time! Upon seeing them, Spencer and I made eye contact. They walked over and Spencer asked me, “a stranger”, if I could take a photo of them with his iPhone.

I took several photos with Spencer’s iPhone and I offered a few instructions on how to pose. Then, Spencer turned to Hayden, and started to tell her about all of the reasons he loved her. Spencer dropped to one knee and popped the question. Hayden was so shocked, full of emotion, and simply ecstatic!
