Proposing In Long Island City's Gantry Plaza | Pierre and Allyson

Photographing proposals at night in NYC

As an experienced professional NYC Proposal Photographer I know where you should propose and where you should not propose at night. Long Island City’s Gantry Plaza State Park is 110% where you should propose, day or night, if New York City is a part of your relationship. For Pierre, Gantry Plaza was the spot for him.

LONG ISLAND CITY’S GANTRY PLAZA CAPTURES NEW YORK CITY SO WELL!

Nothing beats a view and nothing beats a view of the New York City skyline, especially when the Empire State Building is positioned dead center of your view. That is why proposing on the piers of Gantry Plaza makes so much sense. If your relationship started or blossomed in New York City, then your big moment should include the city in it as well.

Robert and Alexis Proposal - Thomas' School of Horsemanship

Fiancé and a Horse!

There’s no horsing around when you’re going to propose to your girlfriend!


Robert had secretly made arrangements to purchase his girlfriend’s horse “Hudson”, which she houses at Thomas’ School of Horsemanship in Melville. The two of us planned out how to get his fiance-to-be, Alexis, to the stable on a Saturday morning; coordinating around the weather, family, and making sure that Alexis had just happened to get her nails done that week!

Helping to plan a secret proposal


Robert came to me with a plan. “So Trent, my girlfriend is an equestrian and a horse trainer. I’m thinking of proposing to her at the stable she works at…oh, and I’m also going to buy her a horse. I need you to photograph the proposal and help coordinate the setup”

The pathway to this Long Island Proposal

On the day of, Alexis would arrive to find the pathway leading to Hudson’s stable lined with flowers and a plaque engraved “Owned and Loved by the Future Mrs. Rothman.” As if that wasn’t surprise enough, Robert then dropped down on one knee. Prior their arrival, I photographed the details Robert had arranged.

Once Robert and Alexis arrived, and turned around the barn Alexis quickly saw the surprise. I was ready to capture her excitement and photograph Robert as he proposed.


How could Alexis say no?

Congrats Robbert and Alexis!

Gantry Plaza Long Island City - Sunset Proposal

Congrats Danielle and Nick!

The best Lic Marriage proposal photographer is one that comes prepared.

Nick chose Long Island City’s Gantry Plaza for his marriage proposal as the couple lives down the block and they spend most of their free time in the park, along the East River over looking Manhattan. The timing of the proposal couldn’t have been more perfect, as the sun set behind New York City on this early Fall evening.

long island city’s gantry plaza captures what makes nyc great. its view of manhattan is a favorite of mine. plus, its rarely busy.

Just as the sun was setting Nick popped the question and Danielle instantly said “YES!”. Prior the big night, I coordinated with Nick on the timing and location of his proposal. I knew I would be loosing lighting throughout the proposal and he wanted to take family photos afterwards as well. So, I brought a small flash.
