Surprise Proposal Photographer NYC

Gregory & Audrey Medical Resident Proposal

Pups and Proposals.

As a Secret Proposal Photographer in NYC, I have been lucky enough to photograph a countless amount of truly unique and personalized proposals all throughout New York City and Long Island. However, photographing Gregory’s proposal, with his 90lbs Saint Bernerd was special.

FINDING THE BEST SPOT TO PROPOSE IN NYC CAN BE CHALLENGING! HOW TO CHOOSE A SPOT.

When Gregory inquired about hiring a proposal photographer, he knew where, when, and how he was going to propose to his girlfriend Audrey. His plan was to propose outside of the hospital where he works as a surgical resident. Gregory and Audrey meet at the end of almost every shift, whether it’s when one is going to work and the other is coming home or visa versa. For them, the hospital is a large part of their lives and their relationship.

In March, Jeremy inquired about proposing to his long-time girlfriend Emma. He wanted to make sure his proposal was not only special but perfectly executed, and captured in full by a secret proposal photographer.

How to propose to that special someone in New York

Jeremy already had some great ideas to make his proposal unique. He had commissioned six paintings commemorating special moments in Emma and his’ relationship, and had devised a scavenger hunt around Central Park to get Emma to Denne Slope to find the paintings, and himself waiting for one knee!

John and Maylen Marriage Proposal - The Edge at Hudson Yards

Secret Proposal At The Edge In Hudson Yards

Just about every way you look in NYC you’ll see the perfect backdrop to propose. So, when the time comes to to drop down on one knee, pop the question, and propose, choosing can be tough. However, what if you could chose all of the view in New York City?

Proposing on The Edge..


John was looking for a secret proposal photographer who wasn’t afraid of heights and could coordinate proposal photography at THE EDGE Observation Deck in Hudson Yards. With our experience coordinating logistics and working with venues, planning this proposal was no different than capturing a proposal on the ground. Coordinating with the Staff at the Edge to plan the perfect “sky-high” secret proposal session was effortless. They were as excited about this secret marriage proposal as I was to capture it.

ON ONE KNEE 1000+ FEET UP

On the day of John’s proposal, I was waiting at the top of The EDGE at least 30 minutes before their arrival. Once they arrived on the deck, I followed behind them covertly with cameras in hand. I was ready to photograph the proposal the second John got down on one knee.

And then, it happened.

She said Yes! (How could you not?!)

After the moment I approached John and Maylen, we took the time to photograph a mini-engagement with all of New York City as a background.

Congrats you two!

Washington Square Park Proposal | Joel and Alexa

Secrets Marriage Proposals are in-fact a secret.

Photographing Joel and Alexa's proposal at a private wine bar overlooking Washington Square Park was a once in a lifetime experience. It was definitely a moment I will not forget as a photographer. Alexa did not a expect a thing as they entered the bar and as Joel proposed. It really was a true surprise proposal.

Washington Square Park Engagement Session

To be the first to wish a newly engaged couple a congratulations is always an honor. So is photographing the couple’s first photos as a newly engaged couple. Post proposal I always offer my clients a “mini-engagement session”. Because we were right along Washington Square Park and the weather was a 10 out of 10 we used the park for their engagement photos.
