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!!

Such an amazing day! From getting ready in the morning to dancing the night away, M+R’s wedding was one for the books! It was a quintessential New York City wedding, set in some of the most iconic NYC locations including The Plaza Hotel, St. Patricks Cathedral, Bethesda Terrace, the Bow Bridge, and Central Park Boathouse.
