Sam's Private NYC Proposal

Where to propose in NYC with a rooftop view of Manhattan?

If you’re looking to propose without a crowd and have an unobstructed view, a rooftop proposal is the way to go. Your options include reserving The Edge in Hudson Yards or The Empire State Building, all of which we have captured, or you could talk to one of the many hotels throughout the city. Just ask us where is the best rooftop to propose!

The Proposal Plan: Sam and Eli were going to brunch on the rooftop of the William Vale Hotel in Williamsburg Brooklyn.

Venue: The William Vale Hotel - Williamsburg Brooklyn

How we plan and photograph surprise proposals.

We aways make sure to arrive 30 minutes early to ensure we are there before you! We also require a point of contact from the venue or rooftop be present. Most importantly you need to supply us with the point of contact’s information in advance.

Hampton and Anne-Marie's NYC Brooklyn Rooftop Proposal

It’s no surprise New York is one of the top destinations to propose. Couples travel thousands of miles to make their special moment that much more special. From the iconic Brooklyn Bridge to the peaceful serenity of Central Park to the dazzling lights of Times Square, New York City is truly the most romantic city in the world. It makes our job as NYC Proposal Photographers amazing and easy.

A private nyc rooftop proposal, Amazing.

To date, we’ve photographed hundreds of proposals all throughout New York City, Long Island, Connecticut, and New Jersey. However, one of our favorite types of proposals to photograph is a rooftop proposal. For Hampton, there was no better location to propose than the rooftop of his Williamsburg, Brooklyn apartment terrace with its unobstructed views of all of Manhattan.

How to pick where to propose in NYC?

I always recommend the best place to propose as the one with meaning and significance. For Hampton, besides his awesome view of NYC, his apartment was where the two of them spend the most time together. It’s where they unwind after a long day of work, it’s where they make dinner together, and it’s where they shared their first apartment together.

Secret proposal Photographer, 007.

As a secret proposal photographer, I often don’t actually have to hide. In New York City, every resident and every tourist walks around with a camera. I’m just another guy. However, for a rooftop proposal the element of surprise can be hard, but there are exceptions. Often, I use this cover, “I’m with the building’s marketing team photographing the view. Just ignore me” or I just hide behind furniture.

Rooftop proposal vs proposing on the ground.

NYC Rooftop Proposal | Alex and Lauren

Congrats to New York City’s newly engaged couple, Alex and Lauren!

Lauren, I think it was worth going up to the 23rd floor rooftop on a windy 18* February day to “checkout the New York City skyline”. Alex’s proposal was worth freezing for a bit.

Proposal Photography - Not my first rodeo.

Having photographed countless marriage proposals both here in NYC and throughout the New York Metropolitan area, one would assume I’m a bit jaded photographing secret marriage proposals. However, I still get excited being part of a secret proposal. From helping to plan the moment, to waiting for the couple to arrive, and finally photographing the moment as he proposes I still smile. Every marriage proposal is unique, just like how every couple is unique.
