Congratulations! You are finally ready to pop the question! Now to make the day extra special, finding the perfect spot that photographs well might be the hardest part about this. Don’t worry here at Alex and Jess Photography we have done some research to find some cool New York City spots perfect to make any engagement shoot wow your future spouse! 

Brooklyn Bridge

What better place for a proposal than an iconic spot in New York? The Brooklyn Bridge is one of those places that you just can't miss when visiting NYC. As soon as the sun starts rising, this location gives a gorgeous light perfectly to get those shots!

Top of the Rock

Located midtown Manhattan overlooking all that life has to offer; you can't beat this view! You'll need reservations and tickets - but it is worth every penny! 

The Loeb Boathouse 

The Loeb Boathouse is a stunning building in the middle of Central Park, with breathtaking views. You can enjoy rowing or just people watching from its terraces - located right in the middle of the iconic Central Park! There are rowboats available for rent as well for the most romantic shots. Your lover is for sure going to be speechless.

Bow Bridge

The Bow Bridge is a two-sided bridge that crosses an inlet of Central Park which runs east to west and bisects the land for approximately 1,200 feet. The construction was completed in 1862 with unique stone archways, wooden decking made up mostly by oak trees symbolizing peace (because they are strong), and located right next door near over 102 acres of lush green space! This has become one popular spot amongst tourists who want their photos taken at this beautiful landmark. To avoid crowds you should visit early morning before 10 AM when there will be fewer people visiting! 

Shakespeare Garden 

When you think of the most photographed gardens in New York, it’s hard not to imagine a place like Shakespeare Garden. Located right on Central Park's southern section and surrounded by three beautiful bridges. There are plenty of perfect spots to pop the question! 

The Edge Hudson Yards 

The view from The Edge at Hudson Yards is one of my new favorite locations for an engagement session. With 1,000-foot tall skyscrapers and 78 stories offering unbeatable views across New York City; it's no wonder this spot has become so popular with tourists looking to capture their memories before heading back home or even just spending some time in NY! 

Versa Rooftop in Midtown

This cute, hidden restaurant in Midtown called Versa is the perfect spot for some engagement photos or even to host an elegant party right after to celebrate that YES! It's located inside the Renaissance Hotel. Such a cute spot under the lights to ask that special person to spend the rest of your life with you! And the romantic pictures that will come from this will be gorgeous! 

When choosing your special spot for your engagement New York City is one of the most gorgeous places for any special occasion, Alex and Jess are ready to hit the town and get those surprise photos that you’ll never forget.
