Lincoln Center is one of my favorite spots to walk around, to photograph, and to capture marriage proposals. Whether you come to Lincoln Center to see jazz, The Metropolitan Opera, the City Ballet or a concert at the Beacon Theater nearby, there’s something for everyone.
When Aaron approached me about photographing his Valentines Day proposal he asked for suggestions on where to propose. He thought about proposing in a restaurant, but due to logistics of hiding a photographer in a restaurant and it being valentines day (no restaurant would allow this) I suggested doing it elsewhere. Grand Central is beautiful, but there a lot of people. It would not be intimidated. Knowing Aaron lived on the Upper West Side I suggested Lincoln Center, right in front of the fountain.
Aaron and I went back and fourth planning this special moment. No detail was too small. Aaron ordered flowers and sketched out how they should be laid out. We spoke with Lincoln Center Security to guarantee we could lay out flowers around the fountain and to ensure we’d have an unobstructed space.
The day came and the weather was perfect. We texted back and fourth waiting for the time to arrive.
At 6:30 they arrived. He asked, she said “Yes!”.
This is one of the top 10 questions I get!
I’m not trying to up sell you here, but the simple answer is “Yes”.
A second photographer offers you so much. From covering the guys getting ready, to offering additional perspectives, capturing candids when your main photographer is positioning people to, being an assistant at times, and helping us keep on schedule, a “2nd photographer” is important. Having a second photographer gives us the opportunity to be in two places at once. For example, during the getting ready photos, while the main photographer is capturing the bride and the bridesmaids getting ready along with all the wedding details, the second photographer can be in the grooms room with the groomsmen documenting all of their excitement (beer drinking) and gift exchanges and anything else that is happening there.
During the ceremony, the second photographer helps once again by adding a second angle to the entire scene. He/she is capturing not only what’s going on upfront, but guests reactions, wide angle photos of the whole scene, and more. While the main photographer is up front of the processional, the second photographer can be in the back capturing you going down the isle and all of your guests.
We work seamlessly together as a team.
