Capturing the Proposal Moment in Central Park, New York City

Central Park in NYC spans 840 acres, and there are so many photogenic places to choose from for your proposal.

Top places to propose in New York include Bethesda Fountain, Bow Bridge, Belvedere Castle, and Wagner Cove.

Perhaps the most photogenic and iconic place is Cat Rock, also known as Umpire Rock. Atop this boulder you enjoy a backdrop of the skyscrapers that line 59th. See this shoot below to get ideas for your Central Park proposal!

This shoot was captured in only 30 minutes. A mini photography session for a marriage proposal could be a great option for couples who are camera shy or those on a tight budget. However, we highly recommend a one hour shoot, because it is only $50 more, and you get DOUBLE the photos and you can explore more than one location. You can always book your 30 minute shoot, then purchase extra photos from your gallery.

“We had a Proposal in New York City. Our friends and family are not from NYC we wanted to be able to share the moment with them even though they couldn’t be there. Anna did such a miraculous job at capturing the emotions of the moment that anyone who looks at the pictures feels like they’re watching the events unfold in real time.! Anna allowed for an intimate moment to be captured and frozen in time. We could not be more happy with the photos we received and the photo editing. We loved them so much we couldn’t choose our favorites and ended up buying extras. Anna guided us through poses and made the shoot a flawless experience! 11/10 would recommend!” – Cade
