New York City Proposal Photo Shoot Reviews

“ Nicole was absolutely amazing! She was extremely helpful in picking a perfect location for my proposal. Afterwords she went above and beyond to make sure we got pictures all across central parks most iconic places. She provided great communication before the shoot and made us feel totally comfortable during the entire engagement shoot session! ”

“ Jordan did a great job taking our engagement pictures. The day was cloudy but the photos were well focused, and beautiful! She also brought a happy, celebratory mood with her and made our photo shoot very fun! We would definitely use her again! ”

“ Sehee is such an incredibly kind human. She was so flexible and helped calm my nerves. She put us in all the right angels and had great recommendations. I can suggest her highly enough! ”

“ Jacqueline fue muy atenta y profesional! Muy complacido con su trabajo y fotografías. Al momento de proponer me puse muy nervioso y no seguí el plan que habíamos establecido y por lo cual el único “cue” que acaté fue el de identificarnos a distancia y acercarme a donde estaba ella… Agraciadamente cuenta con experiencia y que estuvo pendiente con su cámara lista a la hora de yo proponer y capturar el momento tal y cómo lo quería! Al igual que las fotos luego de la propuesta en el shooting cómo tal. Gracias Jacqueline🙏🏽🙌🏽 ”

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some proposal tactics to choose from?

expand_less expand_more
  • Friendly Tourist: Your Flytographer, posing as a friendly tourist, will offer to take a photo of you and your partner.
  • Vacation Cover: Let your partner know that you’ve booked a regular couple’s photo shoot so you can prepare for the photo shoot together without suspicion.
  • Fly on the Wall: Your photographer will remain hidden for the actual proposal. While this allows for an intimate moment, it is the most risky as passersby could interrupt your shot.
  • Customized: We are happy to adjust these scenarios if you have another idea in mind for how you would like your proposal to go!

Will I be connected with my proposal photographer directly?

expand_less expand_more

Yes! Immediately after you book your Flytographer in New York City, you will be connected via email to begin the proposal planning process together and create the perfect plan. You can choose from one of the above proposal scenarios, or share another idea, and ask them any specific questions you might have leading up. Your photographer will be able to share their favourite tips on how to plan your New York City proposal.

What is the difference between a proposal and engagement shoot?

expand_less expand_more

Your proposal photo shoot with us in New York City would involve your Flytographer capturing the moment when you get down on one knee to surprise your partner with a marriage proposal. After the big moment in a proposal photo shoot, you can transition to taking engagement photos if you choose a longer session.

Engagement photo shoots with us would take place after the proposal moment (when you are already engaged) and involve capturing your newly engaged bliss. If you are already engaged, you can book a normal engagement session rather than a proposal photo shoot.

How much does a proposal photographer cost in New York City?

expand_less expand_more

Our proposal package pricing starts at $425 USD for a 30-minute shoot. Easily book a trusted, local photographer in New York City. We'll organize all the details and share our expert tips to ensure your proposal in New York City goes perfectly. Make the moment last a lifetime with beautiful photos to reflect on together, relive the memories, and share with friends and family when you return home.

How much are engagement photos in New York City?

expand_less expand_more

If you have already popped the question and are just looking for New York City engagement photos, our regular engagement photography portrait sessions start at $325 USD. See all pricing here.

Does Flytographer do wedding photography?

expand_less expand_more

We do not offer wedding photography; however, we can capture the moments leading up to and after the big day. While we can’t capture wedding photos in New York City, we can capture surprise proposals, engagement photos, pre-wedding trips, bachelorettes, bachelor parties, honeymoon trips, anniversary photos, and more!
