Jack's NYC Proposal at The Edge overlooking Hudson Yards

As a Secret Proposal Photographer in NYC, I’ve captured countless marriage proposals across New York City, but photographing at The Edge in Hudson Yards is different. It’s memorable, unobstructed, and built for the views that surround it. With its floor-to-sky glass walls and breathtaking 360° views, your proposal photos will showcase the city like no other location. From uptown to downtown, Brooklyn to New Jersey, and even out to Long Island, the views are unobstructed and picture-perfect.

If you’re planning to propose at The Edge, let’s make sure your once-in-a-lifetime moment is beautifully documented. Contact me today to start plan your surprise proposal!

Finding the best spot to propose in NYC can be challenging! How to choose a spot.

When Jack inquired about hiring a proposal photographer, he knew where, when, and how he was going to propose to his girlfriend Tamara. His plan was to propose at The Edge first thing in the morning, and honestly, that’s one of the best times and places to propose. Proposing in the morning not only makes for great photos (the lighting is GREAT), but an amazing full day of celebrating. After you propose, you can get brunch and enjoy the rest of the day with your new fiance, family, and friends.

Steps to hiring a Proposal Photographer for the Edge at Hudson Yards

Planning this unique proposal location requires some coordination and planning. First, you have to purchase your photographer a ticket. Select a ticket time 1 hour before your proposal, so he/her are in their spot and ready to go before you arrive to the top of The Edge. Once you’re up top, on The Edge, you’re allowed to stay there. There is no time limit.

Make sure your photographer knows where the best lighting is and where the crowds are not. On today’s proposal, I arrived 1 hour early to scope out the location. Then, I sent Jack instructions on where to go (see below)

Central Park Bow Bridge Proposal - Hector and Janet

Congrats to New York City’s newest engaged couple, Hector and Janet!

Visiting New York City to Propose

Neither Hector or Janet had ever been to NYC before, but they both knew New York City was going to be a trip they’d never forget. Several weeks before the couple arrived in Manhattan from their home in San Diego, California, Hector inquired about our proposal photography service. Hector loved the photos we had photographed of previous secret marriage proposals across New York City; Central park, Long Island City, Hudson Yards.

When discussing how he was going to propose and where, I had showed him some of my favorite locations. Eventually, we settles on the area just after the Bow Bridge in Central Park near the iconic Bethesda Fountain and Bow Bridge.

Jocelyn NYC Headshot - Binghamton University Alumni

,

A recent headshot session for longtime client Binghamton University of alumnus Jocelyn. The photos captured during this session will appear in the Fall 2021 issue of the university’s quarterly magazine.

After graduating Binghamton University in the Spring of 2020, Jocelyn enlisted in the Army. As a Long Island, NY resident and military personnel, Jocelyn was tasked with working at the Jacob Javitz Center on Manhattan’s West Side during the COVID-19 pandemic.

NYC Headshot Photography doesn’t have to be done on a plain background when your background is as great as NYC itself.

For this assignment, I wanted to highlight the location Jocelyn worked, New York, and her service. The school’s magazine sent me a brief bio about Jocelyn and high level overview of the written piece. As a headshot photographer, I like to incorporate elements of the written word in to my headshot photos. A plain white background although effective at times, can come off as sterile and uninviting.

Ayden's First Holy Communion - Manhattan

The sacrament of First Communion is an important tradition for Catholic families and individuals. As an NYC family photographer and NYC Communion Photographer, photographing a Holy Communion is special. I have the responsibility of documenting a families special moment, a memory they'll never forget.

Communion Photographers are documenting memories.

iPhone photos are nice. However, so is enjoying your own event and living in the moment. As professional NYC communion and baptism photographers, myself and my team of photographers make it our job to document life as it happens. Our event photos document the moment as they happen. Our years of experience as family photographers provide you the confidence to not only feel good when being photographed, but look good too.

being a professional NYC family photographer is my favorite job

As a professional family photographer, I love photographing the moments that make your family unique. NYC is one of the biggest cultural centers not just in the United States, but in the world. Each family I photograph is so vastly different from the previous family. It’s such an exciting experience learning about your family, your kids, and having the responsibility to photograph your individuality.

Central Park Picnic - Kraft Center

,

There is no doubt about it that the post-COVID world is here. NYC is alive and Central Park, New York City’s backyard, is open for business. The Columbia-Barnard Hillel welcomed back current and former students with a Sunday brunch, setup by Perfect Picnic NYC, which was perfectly executed with blankets, lunch, pillows, and drinks. For some of the staff and guests they had not seen one another in 15 months.

Central park nyc event photography

Photographing a picnic in the park really made New York City feel alive once again. Guests were hugging one another, sitting closely together, laughing, and finally not wearing masks. I loved photographing open facial expressions, laughter, and all of the visual emotions that make a photograph memorable. As a NYC event photographer it felt great to openly be doing what I love doing, capturing great photos.
