FAQ
Definitely. I have a creative team behind me, including a proposal planner, to help build the perfect proposal for your partner. Just send me a message and we can pencil in a chat.
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.

Additional information
Elope in NYC
Not only is NYC one of the greatest cities in the world, it’s one of the most romantic. And because of this, more and more people are coming here every year to plan their wedding.
But sometimes a couple doesn’t have many guests – or even any at all. They want the big day to be only about them. And that’s when the private beauty of the elopement comes in.
Best of all, planning and having an elopement in New York is easy. All you need to do is find the right place and an officiant. And when you work with me I can help you with all of this.
NYC Elopement Ideas
To help you envision where your elopement could take place, here’s 3 of the most popular ideas in New York:
1) City Hall. City Hall is located in downtown Manhattan, and it’s very simple. You go there, wait in line for about an hour, and after a quick proceeding you’re married.
2) Central Park. One of the most beautiful parks in the world, getting married in Central Park is always a great idea. Here’s a link where you can discover more info about Elopement in Central Park (link).
3) Brooklyn Bridge Park. The park offers fantastic views of both the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridge, and afterwards you can celebrate in one of Brooklyn’s great restorations.
Places To Elope in NYC
NYC has fantastic places to elope. If you like the idea of being a bit in the public eye, there’s the lush green, Romanesque beauty of Central park, the modern, aerial trendiness of High Line Park or you could go with the majestic vistas of Brooklyn Bridge Park (epic views of BOTH the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridge can be captured here).
If you’re interested in an elopement package, I’ll put an amazing one together for you.
I work with a wedding planner and we offer beautifully organized packages to elope in NYC. We’ll take care of all the crucial details including: private rooftops, restaurants, decorations, musicians, officiants, and of course, photography and video.
In fact, we only work with the best – so you can be sure your elopement is going to be phenomenal. Contact me for more information about finding you the perfect NYC elopement package.
City Hall Wedding Photography
I love City Hall for so many reasons. It’s in the heart of New York City, and it’s incredibly romantic. City Hall gives you all the charm and atmosphere of New York, and all the privacy away from the city’s hustle and bustle for when you actually say ‘I do.’ It’s also one of the most iconic landmarks in NYC, and Brooklyn Bridge is located just a few minutes away. So after your City Hall wedding ceremony, we can always continue our photo shoot there. Or we can take a cab and take pictures in Central Park or any other place in NYC.
I have a great deal of experience in photographing couples who choose to marry in City Hall.

NYC Elopement Photographer
With over 15 years’ experience in wedding photography, I offer my clients a personalized approach to coming up with the best elopement ideas and performing the perfect photoshoot. I’ve worked in most wedding venues in New York (I can also be a witness for the ceremony if needed), and whether it’s a small wedding ceremony in an NYC courthouse or a micro-wedding on a private rooftop, I’ll use my experience, expertise, and artistry to perfectly capture your amazing day.
Central Park Wedding Photography
The first time I saw Central Park, the place really took my breath away. To have such a peaceful, green haven in the middle of one of the world’s most fast-paced cities is a gift. Whenever I need photographic inspiration that doesn’t involve city architecture, Central Park is where I go. Some people think that Central Park proposals are cliché. This is a mistake: spanning from 59th to 110th, the park offers all sorts of fields, groves, lakes, walks, landmarks and outlook points, all of which have the power to tell your unique romantic story.
For the perfect Central Park engagement or wedding, tell me more about yourself and your partner, and I will help you find the spot that will suit your personalities and relationship.
