NYC Proposal Photographer | Capturing the Yes
Planning a proposal in New York City?
Whether you're organizing it yourself or helping someone else pull it off, you're likely juggling a lot — the timing, the location, the surprise. When it's time for the big moment, you need a photographer who can slip in quietly, capture it all naturally, and give you stunning photos that feel as real as the moment itself.
That’s what I do.
I photograph proposals all over NYC — from rooftops to waterfronts, secret garden corners to backyard setups. You bring the vision. I’ll make sure the moment lives on forever.
A Low-Key Presence with High-Impact Photos
My approach is simple: show up early, blend in, and quietly document what you’ve spent time and thought creating. The energy during a proposal is electric — hearts pounding, hands shaking, adrenaline high. That’s the magic I’m there to capture.
Most people don’t even notice I’m there. I’ve had countless couples tell me later that they were so locked into the moment, they didn’t realize there was a camera involved until I walked over and introduced myself.
That’s by design. I want you fully in the moment — and your photos to reflect that.
NYC Proposal Locations
Over the years, I’ve photographed all kinds of proposals across NYC. Each one totally different, but all unforgettable:
📍 DUMBO with the Brooklyn Bridge – Classic, cinematic, always gorgeous
📍 Central Park – From the iconic Bow Bridge to quiet wooded paths
📍 The Edge + The Vessel – Big city energy, modern backdrops
📍 Private Rooftops – Intimate and romantic, with sweeping skyline views
📍 Staten Island Backyards – Sentimental and personal
📍 Surprise Parties After – Sometimes, the moment doesn’t end with the “yes” — and I stay to capture it all
Whatever your location, I’m there to blend in and bring it to life through the lens.
Seamless Timing with My Favorite Secret Tool
Want to know one of the tricks I use to make things feel effortless? I often use Find My Friends with the planner or proposer — so I can track your location in real time and be exactly where I need to be without ever pulling out my phone or blowing the surprise.
That way, you’re not worrying about texting updates or checking in. I’ll already be in place, camera ready, and heart racing right along with you.
After the “Yes” – Portraits, Then Presence
Once the big moment happens, I step in for a few portraits — but I keep this part short and intentional. I know you’re buzzing with emotion, and I want you to ride that wave. My goal isn’t to turn the moment into a full photo shoot. It’s to give you just enough time to soak it in, laugh, cry, and catch your breath with a few beautiful portraits to remember it all by.
Then? I step back. Let you have the moment. Whether that’s time alone or walking into a surprise party with your favorite people — I’ll be there, quietly documenting.

Ready to Capture Your Moment?
You don’t need a big production for a proposal to feel unforgettable — you just need a plan that feels true to you, and someone there to document it with care. I bring calm energy, zero pressure, and a deep respect for the emotional weight of this moment.
Whether you’re popping the question or helping someone do it, let’s make sure the memory lasts a lifetime.
