Central Park Photographer
On June 2020th, I moved from LIC Queens to Upper West Side, just half a block from Central Park. And the Park opened for me from a new perspective. Even before, I was visiting Central Park almost every day, but that was mostly for photoshoots. Now I spend most of my time outside in the Park. I walk here with my dog, go for a run, for hike and picnics. Almost every day, I find a new place for a photoshoot. I watch the light as it lays on people and on the landscape in different parts of the Park. If you are interested in Central Park photoshoot, I can offer my photography skills and my knowledge of the Park.
Central Park Proposal Decorations
Packages already include photography and start from $950
Check availabilityCentral Park is the most popular proposal area in NYC. It’s very good for proposals and gives amazing opportunities for photography. While Central Park is already a very beautiful place for proposals, it can only benefit from some decorations.
Decorations should never overshadow a location, but rather enhance it. Personally, I’m not a fan of massive setups in the park, like huge arches or oversized lettering. My goal is always to highlight the natural beauty of the space, not overpower it.
My favorite locations are Bow Bridge, San Remo View, Lake Plaza View, and Wagner Cove. The best decor for these locations would be a flower heart during the day or a candle heart after sunset. A small “Marry Me” letters could also be a good addition.
Central Park Gazebo Proposal
The price starts from $1,700 and includes photography and the permit.
Check availabilityIf you’d like to bring your Central Park proposal to the next level and add some privacy, I recommend proposing in one of Central Park’s beautiful gazebos. My favorites are Cop Cot, Dene Summerhouse, and Ladies Pavilion.
But keep in mind that these places require a permit, and the permit must be applied for in advance. My favorite proposal setups for Central Park gazebos include candles, strip lighting, flower arches, and large “Marry Me” letters

FAQ
Besides Central Park, DUMBO in Brooklyn offers lots of options for creative decorations, and private rooftops are some of my favorite locations.

Yes, definitely! In fact, I think it’s necessary to have the proposal not only photographed but also filmed. Video gives a wonderfully rounded perspective to your proposal that perfectly complements the photography.
I shot and edited my first marriage proposal video in the summer of 2015 using two cameras and a drone. The video was published online and quickly went viral: it became one of the ‘Best Proposal Videos of 2015,’ awarded by HowHeAsked.com, one of the most popular wedding proposal websites around. I have plenty of film package options available to suit all budgets. Just send me a message with your ideas and I’ll get back to you with some suggestions.
