My name is Meghan Lynch and I would absolutely love to be your NYC surprise proposal photographer. I photograph proposals on a weekly basis (working with couples is my speciality) and have loads of location suggestions if you need them. Whether you are looking for a proposal backdrop in Central Park or the city skyline- New York City has it all! You can read all the raving reviews from the 50+ proposals I’ve captured on google! If you’re looking for the most private experience possible, I recommend a rooftop proposal or a sunrise session (especially at popular locations like Central Park). Brandon proposed to Nicole on his sister’s apartment terrace in Greenwich Village just across the street from Washington Square Park.

Best Time of Year To Propose in NYC
NYC is a year round destination that should not be missed. Here are some top tips for choosing when to propose in New York:
- Weekdays Monday-Thursdayare naturally less crowded
- If you want to propose in the summer (between June and late August), but ideally want to have as close to a private outdoor proposal as possible opt for a sunrise session (or book a rental at a hotel roof or venue).
- You’ll find NYC to be the “quietest” mid January through March.
- Summer: June-August, Fall: September-November (maybe you want fall foliage), Winter: December-February, Spring: March-May (maybe you’d like to have a NYC cherry blossom proposal in April)

What days do you photograph surprise proposals?
- In most cases I photograph outdoor proposals Monday-Thursday at sunrise or sunset. This provides us with the romantic golden light you see in my portfolio & on my instagram and to also reduce crowds. I understand not everyone wants to wake up at the crack of dawn so morning proposals can be done in shaded areas before 9AM.
- Friday-Sunday NYC proposals are at sunrise only (unless a venue, rooftop, or hotel is booked).
