BOOK ME FOR YOUR CENTRAL PARK PROPOSAL
General tips for planning a NYC proposal:
- Monday-Thursday are always preferred over Friday-Sunday to help mitigate crowds
- The prettiest light to photograph in is during golden hour around 90 minutes after sunrise and 90 minutes before sunset. The closest times to official sunrise and sunset the better light. A sunrise proposal over sunset is best to avoid crowds. The high tourist areas in Central Park are still quiet before 8:30AM. If you choose a morning proposal near Bethesda Fountain then post session you are a quick walk to Blank Street or Ralph’s Coffee if you need a caffeine boost
- Cherry blossom proposal sessions: First 2 weeks of April and at sunrise only
- Central Park will be vibrant with blooms from April-August
- A fall foliage proposal in NYC is best for mid to end of October
- A winter holiday proposal is best in December
- If you want a proposal with snow then the best chance is January or February
