Proposal at Long Island City’s iconic Gantry Plaza Park

Tucked away in outskirts of Long Island City is Gantry Plaza Park; perfect for a proposal! This beautiful not so hidden away gem is one you’ll fall in Love with. To this day it’s still one of my favorite places to go & not just for taking photos. For those who know know! The views are great, featuring NYC skyline, beautiful gardens, a dog park for you dog lovers and so much more. If I’m not capturing a proposal or engagement session here at Gantry State park, you’ll probably find me here kickin it w/ friends and family enjoying this beautiful location.

Moments before the Surprise Proposal in Gantry Park

This Gantry Plaza proposal kicked off with John and Stacy going for a stroll. Unbeknownst to Stacy to the Proposal Spot. If you’re wondering if you should hire a proposal photographer in New York City, you should! Check out why here! I’ll give you one reason now, John was so nervous worrying about the details he wanted it to be perfect, but who can blame him! Gentlemen listen up, your job is to be in that moment, the moment you propose to the woman you love. That moment those feelings that’s for you two to cherish together! I told John don’t worry about me or where I’ll be, just propose! He was so relieved!

John didn’t know where I was, but it didn’t matter!

New York Proposal was a Success!

The Photos speak for themselves but let me just say their proposal was a success! Here’s why
1. John & Stacy really Love each other!
2. John hired me as his New York City Proposal Photographer!

That’s it. If you want to relive such a special moment, hire a Professional like myself having a Proposal Photographer in NYC is key especially since they know the best spots, help you plan and most of all, I ALWAYS get the Shot! Also if need be if the ring doesn’t fit, (fellas find out the ring size beforehand) but if it doesn’t fit I’ll Photoshop it on like I did in the last image 🤫 shhh). This New York City Proposal at Gantry Plaza Park; Success!!
