It’s a busy holiday season around here, but I’m jumping back to this summer as I get caught up on all the awesome couples I’ve gotten to work with in 2016! Next up is this amazing NYC surprise proposal at Gantry Park in Queens.
Joe was looking for the perfect spot to propose to his girlfriend Anjali and knew he wanted a skyline in the background. There are few greater spots in the city for a view like Gantry Park. You get sweeping vistas of midtown, complete with the Empire State Building and it’s right along the river with a beautiful boardwalk for photos afterwards. On the evening I met up with them, the weather was threatening rain, in fact there were some brief storms that just missed us. But as I arrived at Gantry Plaza to get set up the sun was beaming through the clouds and it was a perfect evening.
Anjali was so surprised as Joe got down on one knee for the proposal and her face was priceless. I love love love shooting proposals for this reason, so much pure emotion. Getting to be a part of all the excitement isn’t bad either! After he popped the question, she said yes! I stuck around to take some fun just engaged photos afterwards and the happiness brimming in these two was beautiful.
Congratulations Joe and Anjali! Thanks so much for letting me capture your moment!
