As an NYC proposal photographer, I’ve been so lucky to be a part of some amazing love stories in my favorite city! There’s nothing quite like capturing the perfect moment when a sweet couple decides to spend the rest of their lives together. Between the gorgeous parks, iconic buildings, and stunning skylines, there are so many great places to propose in NYC! I’m so excited to share some of my absolute favorite proposal locations!

This Rockefeller Center proposal gives me all the holiday feels! Eric and I came to this spot the night before his proposal, and while it wasn’t very lit up, it was quiet and beautiful. Little did we know, the next night it would be decorated with angels and lights overlooking the Saks Holiday Light Show and make for such a magical proposal! Emily said yes!!

It was a warm sunny day in Brooklyn when Hillel and Bassie took a walk through Grand Army Plaza. Her hand in his, they strolled along the route that Hillel had meticulously mapped out. As far as Bassie knew, it was just another day spent with the man she loved, but he had other plans. He played it cool while they strolled through the park, but inside he was going over the words to say when they finally stopped at the fountain… where the ground covered was in rose petals.
