Rockefeller Center Proposal Photographer

Dom's Radio City Music Hall Secret Proposal

New York, New York! During the holiday season there is no other place to be than New York City! The city offers so many different places to get that iconic Christmas look and feel; Rockefeller Christmas tree, Radio City Music Hall, Bryant Park Christmas shops, Central Park. While the city is very crowded during this time of the year, there are ways to capture big moments like a secret marriage proposal and make it look more intimate than it is. The big Christmas decorations off of 5th Ave near Radio City are a great festive alternative to the Rockefeller Christmas tree, and yet close enough to the tree where we can go there for post proposal photos.

When you think of New York City and Christmas, you instantly think of the world famous Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. While this is a magical and festive place, it’s also one of the most densely populated and crowded places in NYC during the holiday season. Our team has captured countless picture perfect secret proposals at the tree before leveraging our experience at Rockefeller Center during the Christmas season.

Nick's Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Proposal

Everyone has that crisp Christmas memory as a kid. For many, that core memory is sitting in the back of your parents’ car looking at Christmas lights. The lights shined so bright and so warm against the dark winter sky. As an adult, the closest Christmas experience I can relate to that childhood memory is walking around NYC, all bundled up, under the Christmas lights. It’s just magical. New York City along 5th Avenue and the Rockefeller Christmas Tree takes you back to being a kid looking at all of the houses decorated for Christmas.

Day or night, the Rockefeller Christmas Tree shines bright. However, it’s always so busy. The key to visiting this iconic New York City icon is going early and avoiding the crowds. For today’s proposal, Nick chose proposing first thing in the morning before brunch.

Monday night was one of my favorite proposals yet! Austin and Sam had just flown in to New York to spend the holiday season sightseeing around NYC. Austin planned some of the trip, but really left most of the trip to Sam. All Austin knew was Sam had specifically requested to the see Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. Austin kicked their trip off with a bang on night one.

An amazing marriage proposal right in the middle of the Rockefeller Center ice skating rink. That’s how Michael envisioned his proposal and with the help of The Rink he made it possible. Friday night, Michael made a reservations for two to ice skate under the recently lit NYC Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. It was a dream of his girlfriend Allison to skate on the world famous Rockefeller Ice Skating Rink under the world’s most famous Christmas tree, in the world’s best city, New York City.

Neil's Rockefeller Christmas Tree Surprise Proposal

I tell client’s “It’s straight out of a movie, but it’s real life” when helping plan their Rockefeller Christmas tree proposal. While proposing at the Christmas tree around Christmas is chaotic, jam packed with tourists, and somewhat risky from a photography standpoint (people walking in front of you), it sure does make awesome and memorable photos. If you’re willing to have people in your photos in order to capture this unique New York City spot, then let’s go for it!

Christmas in New york, and an engagement!

On today’s session, Neil proposed to Ashley on their long weekend trip to New York City. This was Neil’s first time to NYC, and he found both the crowds and the world famous Rockefeller Christmas Tree to be very impressive.

We started our holiday proposal session at Rockefeller Center and then moved to the shops at Bryant Park for a post-proposal posed mini-session.

It worked out very well photographing Neil and Ashley’s proposal near the Rockefeller Christmas tree just a few blocks North of Bryant Park. After the proposal and several posed photos we moved downtown to Bryant Park. When photographing I took full advantage of all the twinkly lights and making sure to capture the Empire State Building in a few of their photos. Great photos have context.
