Engagement Session

Ben and Jenn's Brooklyn Bridge Park Sunset Proposal

Why Brooklyn Bridge Park is the perfect place to propose NYC

Brooklyn Bridge Park offers magnificent views of Manhattan, the Statue of Liberty, the World Trade Center, and a glimpse of the Empire State Building. This iconic NYC destination is a top destination for tourists and locals alike for obvious reasons. So, why choose DUMBO’s Brooklyn Bridge Park for your proposal? Simply put, your photos will have NYC in them.

Photographing a DUMBO Brooklyn Bridge Park Proposal

DUMBO and the area around the Brooklyn Bridge Park facing West is a great option for a sunset proposal and photography session. The lighting in DUMBO provides a ton of spots and angles to photograph as the warm sun sets. This part of Brooklyn has so much character in the look and feel of the buildings, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the park that your photos will be guaranteed unique.

Ali + Conor Port Washington Engagement Session

I’ve known Ali and Conor for almost 10 years. So, when they asked me to photograph their save the date photos in a mini-engagement session I quickly said “YES!”. Our location was Ali’s parents house in Sands Point, NY. The house, which is now sold, is special not just to Ali and Conor, but myself. It’s where all of us and our friends hung out throughout college. If we were home from school we were at Ali’s; Winter, Summer, Fall, or Spring.

The house is even more special to Ali and Conor because it’s where they first met. Throughout our engagement shoot we took full advantage of the warm weather. We went out on the dock and walked around the house taking a bunch of photos while the sun slowly set. As I photographed the couple and gave posing tips I reminisced about all of the memories had there.

Hank + Kristen Madison Square Park Proposal

Congrats, Hank and Kristen! The plan: After brunch with Kristen’s parents, her sister Kasey, and their friend Alex, would all walk through Madison Square Park where Hank would propose. The Spot: The northwest corner of the park in front of the fountain with the clocktower in the background.

MY PLAN ON HOW TO PHOTOGRAPH A nyc proposal

At 2:30pm just as we planned, the group walked in to the park. As they all approached the fountain, Kristen’s family and Alex stopped, and Kristen and Hank walked ahead.

Hank proposed.

POST PROPOSAL ENGAGEMENT STYLE SESSION PHOTOS ARE MY FAVORITE

After a few candid moments, several posed shots, and a family photo, we captured a great mini-session throughout Madison Square Park. This area of Manhattan really captures the essence of NYC and the Flatiron District. We took full advantage of the perfect late Fall afternoon light, remaining foliage, and the Christmas lights throughout the proposal shoot.
