Photographing an Upper East Side rooftop proposal

What made photographing this Upper East Side (UES) rooftop proposal so special were the details and the meaning behind it all. From the rose petals, to the champaign, to the ring, and our mini-engagement session in Carl Schurz Park along the East River, everything was so well thought out. This client chose to propose in a private and timeless fashion with nothing being overdone; no 3 foot “Will You Marry Me” letters or LED signs here!

Out of all the places we go as NYC’s leading Surprise Proposal Photographer, Carl Schurz is one of our favorite and least chosen spots. We often hear from Upper East Side couple’s this park has so much meaning to them and they love it for it’s private (zero tourists).

Andrew's Private Empire State Building Proposal

Photographing Andrew’s private surprise Empire State Building rooftop proposal is a moment I won’t forget. It made my job as a NYC Proposal Photographer the best job in the world.

Proposing in New York City during March could be hit or miss with the weather. However, on today’s proposal Andrew rolled the dice and came up with the perfect weather. We could not have asked for a more perfect morning. The sun was out, the wind remained calm, and the visibility was stunning each and every way we looked.

How did Andrew propose?

Andrew told Jess they were going for a private tour of the Empire State Building via his friend. Upon reaching the top floor observation deck they walked around. Immediately they were in awe of the view. After a few moments of taking in the view, Andrew proposed.

Planning a Rooftop Proposal atop the Empire State Building takes planning.

Do you want your moment to be private, semi-private, or on the spot with it being open to the public? These are things to think about. If you work with the Empire State Building Marketing team you could have a totally private proposal, or you could do a semi-private proposal with a portion of the viewing deck roped off. You could have unlimited access to the observation deck at hours that are not usually available. It’s totally up to you. Each experience is special and unique, and has its benefits.

Drew's New York City Rooftop Proposal

Rain or Shine, the proposal will go on.

Drew planned the perfect proposal high above midtown Manhattan with a direct and unobstructed view of the Empire State Building. However, mother nature had other plans, as morning showers passed through leaving New York City with fog, which partially blocked the Empire State Building. As Drew proposed, the clouds cleared and slowly the skyline revealed itself.

The Proposal Plan: Drew surprised Sophia at the Midtown Loft and Terrace, where she was supposed to be “meeting friends for brunch”.

Photographing a New York City rooftop proposal is a unique experience

Proposing in New York City is about you, your story, and the now. In my proposal photos I always capture the location, as it’s a part of your proposal story. What makes a rooftop proposal so unique is its ability to capture the NYC skyline with its iconic buildings and unobstructed views. The Midtown Loft and Terrace offers an amazing view of the Empire State Building right behind you.
