As a professional photographer, there are few things more fulfilling than being able to capture the special moments in people’s lives. Recently, I had the opportunity to photograph the proposal of one of my first friends in the “real world” when I used to work in corporate, which was a full-circle moment for me. Proposals […]

I had the opportunity to photograph not one, but two surprise proposals within a month of each other at the Italian restaurant, Palma, in New York City during the winter. 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 […]

Photographing a surprise proposal at Tavern on the Green in NYC during the holidays is a truly special and romantic occasion. I always pass by Tavern on the Green when I’m at Central Park but never went inside. The holiday decorations there are such a cozy vibe! As a photographer, it’s always a privilege to […]

A Central Park proposal in the summer is the epitome of romance in New York City! I had the pleasure of photographing Neil Cato and his (now) fiance, Emily Hamilton when they visited NYC from Texas over the July 4th weekend. Texans seem to love me because I worked with another couple that flew up […]

Out of all the proposals I’ve photographed so far, this West Village rooftop engagement has got to be the most epic view so far! Is there anything better than a New York City sunset with the skyline? The biggest bonus was that both Jordan Zauderer and his (now) fiance, Casey was super photogenic! It’s amazing […]

The grandest gesture of love with these two! Their surprise proposal was captured during sunset in front of the famous Jane’s Carousel in Brooklyn with the epic Lower Manhattan skyline in the background. Prior to D-day, I and the (future) groom did a walkthrough of the location a few days before during a torrential downpour. […]

I had a full-circle moment photographing a surprise proposal at the Palma restaurant NYC! Back in the summer, I photographed one of my first engagement parties at this popular West Village restaurant. The difference between then and now was that I had gained some more experience under my belt, and the proposal was at night […]

Both the Bethesda Terrace and Fountain are some of the most iconic locations in Central Park to do a photoshoot. It’s one of the first spots in New York City I recommend because it’s recognizable. My amazing client and her husband flew in from Dallas, Texas because they wanted to celebrate their one-year wedding anniversary. […]

A Summer’s Day in Seabright In the middle of moving my life from one apartment to another, I had the opportunity to photograph my former co-worker, Amie, for her bridal shower at the Rum Runner in Seabright, NJ. One of the first motivations to start my own business as an NYC photographer and quit my […]

You can’t tell by looking at these pictures, but this was my first real test of using a hot-shoe flash in a non-static environment! I was photographing a friend’s engagement dinner at Rule of Thirds in Brooklyn, and since it’s a restaurant, we were indoors with no windows. I can’t speak for all photographers, but […]
