Zach's Proposal to Kim (Central Park, NY)
My coworker Zach reached out to me about photographing his proposal to his girlfriend Kim in Central Park. Zach had put lots of planning and effort into the day and sent me (and a bunch of their friends who were involved) an email with the plan. Excerpt from said email:
My coworker Zach reached out to me about photographing his proposal to his girlfriend Kim in Central Park. Zach had put lots of planning and effort into the day and sent me (and a bunch of their friends who were involved) an email with the plan. Excerpt from said email:
“9:45 - 10 a.m. - Zach and Kim leave to go get coffee at Daniel and to "plan to meet" Dan and Martha in Central Park.
10:30 - 10: 45 a.m. - Zach bends the knee at the "Native Meadow" where Kayla will be waiting for us.
10:45 - 11:30 a.m. - Zach and Kim take Photos"
Central Park is a very common photo-op spot, and the area where Zach was planning to propose was especially beautiful and filled with flowers and plants, so it wasn’t suspicious at all that I was there with my camera. I waited until they were entering the path leading to the large rock where Zach would get down on a knee and I followed. At this point, Kim was getting a bit suspicious as she recognized me as Zach’s coworker and now I was following them, but Zach didn’t waste any time and proposed on the top of the rock and Kim said yes. Yay!
Congratulations, Zach & Kim!
Dylan's Proposal to Jocelyn (Garden City, NY)
Dylan reached out to me in early April about photographing his proposal to his girlfriend, Jocelyn in Garden City, NY later that month. The plan was to go out for a weekend run (something they often do together) and pass by a gazebo where he would lead Jocelyn to and ask her to marry him.
Dylan reached out to me in early April about photographing his proposal to his girlfriend, Jocelyn in Garden City, NY later that month. The plan was to go out for a weekend run (something they often do together) and pass by a gazebo where he would lead Jocelyn to and ask her to marry him. Dylan and Jocelyn’s mothers arrived to the scene early and decorated the gazebo with flower petals, champagne & candles. As the couple passed by on their run, Dylan pointed out the gazebo and started walking towards it with Jocelyn (I was hiding behind a tree for this part, as I do). Jocelyn was completely surprised and did not see the proposal coming at all. Dylan and the moms successfully pulled off the surprise and got a very enthusiastic “YES” from Jocelyn when he popped the question. My favorite photos are from when the moms (both hiding behind trees farther into the park) popped out and very excitedly ran over to the happy couple, arms outstretched. So freakin’ cute. Congratulations Jocelyn & Dylan!!
