Surprise Proposal Photographer NYC

David's Hoboken New Jersey Secret Sunset Proposal

Capturing the New York City skyline is always spectacular, no matter what side we are photographing it from. As New York City Proposal Photographers, we are typically are asked to photograph proposals along the East River facing Manhattan’s East Side; Williamsburg, DUMBO, Brooklyn Bridge Park. However, as of recently we have been photographing more and more secret surprise proposals in New Jersey along the Hudson River.

David chose an area along the Hudson River in Hoboken, NJ on the grounds of Stevens Institute of Technology. The couple had in fact met here years prior, so it had meaning. We coordinated his proposal with the sun set.

Central Park Conservatory Garden - Springtime Engagement Session

Photographing Brett and Elle’s engagement session up in the Conservatory Garden of Central Park NYC was a real treat. Not many people, New Yorkers included, know about this section of the park. Although the iconic landmarks like Bethesda Fountain, Bow Bridge, the model boat sailing pond, and the mall take the lime light, the Conservatory Garden is just as special to NYC. It’s just a little bit further out of the way.

I have photographed inn Central Park countless times, but the Conservatory Garden only a few times. I love discovering this part of Central Park every time I come up to 105 street. Not only is it picturesque and charming, but it also has some unique elements that made for the prettiest backdrops while we walked around, got to know each other, and created beautiful images for these two, and their pup.

A Central Park Picnic and a Proposal - Heriberto & Catherine's NYC Proposal

Finding a Proposal Photographer in NYC

Heriberto reached out to wanting a proposal photographer to help him and his soon-to-be fiancée, Catherine, remember their time living and exploring NYC. Heriberto wanted his photos to highlight the NYC skyline, Central Park, and the unique moments a one can have living in this great city.

About the couple….


He and Cathrine would be moving from New York to Boston next month, so Heriberto planned to make this surprise proposal as New York as possible. To make sure the moment went off without a hitch he need an experienced NYC Proposal Photographer to document the moment.

Central Park was his proposal location of choice. The couple had spent many sunny days hanging out in “The Great Lawn”, so he thought it would be the perfect spot for a picnic, and the big suprise.

“Satur-date in the park”

Heriberto and I planned out the day for his secret proposal. He and Cathrine would spend the morning in a rowboat near the Loeb Boathouse, and then pick up their Perfect Picnic basket just outside the park, and then walk to The Great Lawn where I, their secret proposal photographer, would be waiting for them.

Whether it’s hiding in bushes or in the night, an NYC Proposal Photographer stays out of sight!

I spotted the two when they entered the park and discreetly took photos before the big moment as they set their picnic up. When the time was right Heriberto pulled the ring out and got down on one knee and…..

Cathrine said yes! She was so surprised and excited. The two celebrated with Champagne before we roamed around for a mini-engagement shoot. It was quite the perfect sunny Saturday afternoon in Central Park.

Edmund & Melody (Abandoned) NYC Restaurant Proposal

Proposing in a restaurant is cool. Proposing in your very own private restaurant is cooler. Now, proposing in your very own restaurant with just the two of you is even cooler yet. Photographing Edmund's proposal in side of his closed NYC restaurant is a memory I will never forget. It was a first for this NYC Proposal Photographer.
