Anthony's DUMBO Work Week Proposal

Photographing a midweek and A middle of the day proposal in New York City has its benefits.

Proposing in the middle of the workweek in NYC has so many benefits. To start, the crowds are almost absent compared to the weekends. Proposing in the middle of the day has some challenges primarily if you’re looking to have your moment photographed by a professional photographer. The lighting isn’t always the best, but we can work with you to select an ideal location.

DUMBO and the area around the Brooklyn Bridge Park facing West is a great option for a midday proposal and photography session. To start, the view of Manhattan and the New York City skyline provides real context to where you are. Next the lighting in DUMBO provides a ton n of spots to work around the strong high sun. Lastly, there’s so much character in the look and feel of this part of NYC that your photos will be guaranteed unique.

Cory's Brooklyn Bridge Park Proposal

Photographing night time proposals in New York City, AKA “The City of Lights”

Cory and Bethan were visiting New York City from Whales for the very first time. Cory planned their trip to the tee with all of the top sites, attractions, and to-dos. As special as this trip was going to be, Cory knew this trip was going to be extra special as he would propose.

His Proposal Plan: The couple was staying in midtown Manhattan and had dinner reservations at The River Cafe at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge. They’d UBER to Brooklyn and arrive early to checkout the iconic New York City skyline from Brooklyn. Upon checking out the view Cory would drop down to one knee and propose.

Photographing a nighttime proposal

To quote Kanye West, “All of the lights (all of the lights). (Lights, lights) all of the lights”, and for our nighttime proposals that’s what we are after, light; the city skyline and our flash to light the night. It’s certainly tricky photographing and lighting our night time proposals, and for that very reason we restrict where we photograph proposals after dark. The area around Brooklyn Bridge Park / DUMBO is one of the few areas we will photograph at night.

One of the big downsides of night time proposals is that our post proposal mini-sessions are shorter.
