I recently had the opportunity to capture another surprise proposal that unfolded at The Ludlow Hotel, a chic luxury boutique haven nestled in the heart of Manhattan’s trendy Lower East Side. On an unseasonably warm November day, when autumn took a back seat and spring vibes took center stage, a magical love story was about […]

The Lower Manhattan skyline is framed with a "will you marry me" proposal set up on the terrace of The Ludlow Hotel.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: there’s something truly magical about photographing surprise proposals. It was a crisp and warm autumn day in October, and I had the honor of capturing another old colleague’s surprise proposal to his now-fiancée. The setting was the iconic Bow Bridge in Central Park, and the day […]

As someone who captures moments in time, photographing an NYC City Hall elopement can be a unique and rewarding experience. Not everyone wants a day of grandeur. For some, a simple civil ceremony is enough. My best friend, Danny, asked me to be his witness and helped capture his big day with his girlfriend, Zoe, […]

It’s easily become my most frequented vendor since I’m there at least once a year. Both proposers had planned to pop the question to their […]
