Read our blog on our detailed process!
1) Put together an agreement confirming Date, Time, Location.
2) Receive a photo of you both!
3) I arrive 30minutes ahead of you and send a marked up selfie. This marked up selfie is crucial in helping you 1) know who to look for and 2) know where to stand, so I can capture optimal photos. I always prioritize your partner’s reaction in our photos and I move around as I photograph.
4) Wait and blend in like just another tourist! I do not start photographing until you are clearly doing your thing!

I have a photo of you. You have a photo of me. I know who you are. You know who I am. To your partner I am just a regular person hanging out.
I don’t start photographing until you are doing your thing. This is NYC. There are a ton of people with cameras.

Yes! Having helped plan and capture 3000 proposals I have a bunch of recommendations based upon time of day, lighting, privacy, and how you plan to propose.

This is unique as compared to competitors | All photos taken are delivered via a digital delivery link edited, full-resolution (these are 100% your photos), no watermarks, and with retouching delivered within 7 days. While competitors deliver their top 10, 15, 20 photos, we give you everything we capture. The # of photos you receive depends on how responsive you are to taking photos.
Decorations - We do NOT offer decorations for the following reasons and this is based on our experience photographing over 3,000 real NYC proposals.
Unwanted attention - People will see the decorations and ask a billion questions.
Rose petals easily blow away in the wind and you need a LOT of petals for them to show up well in photos.
Clean up - Whether in a park or in a private location you will be hassled to clean everything up.

How many photos do we receive?
Everything captured is delivered. The # of photos we take and deliver is reflective on how responsive you are to taking photos. This question relates to competitors who only deliver 15-20 photos, so they don't have to edit everything and so they can charge for the remainder. You get ALL of the photos and they are 100% yours.
Would you also photograph my family and friends with us after?
Of course!
Where and when is the best place to propose in NYC?
As a photographer, I always work around lighting. The best time of the day is dependent on the spot you choose.
When selecting a location think about how you’ll get your partner to that spot, rain or shine, without being suspicious.
Have you photographed proposals before?
My team of professional photographers and myself have photographed hundreds of proposals all throughout NYC. We also photograph weddings too!
