Winter in Central Park is pure romance — quiet snow, crisp air, and skyline views that feel straight out of a movie. It’s one of the most magical places to propose in NYC.

This beautiful couple traveled from Denver, and The Lake with the San Remo in the background created the perfect backdrop. It was chilly, but they leaned into each other for warmth — and the love between them made the moment glow.

Mel had a feeling something was up when Zach suggested a long walk in the cold (not usually his thing!). But once they reached the overlook, he took a knee and asked her to marry him.
She said YES — and joy filled the air.

Afterward, we celebrated downtown with portraits around her family’s Greenwich Village penthouse — iconic brownstones, city lights, and that just-engaged sparkle.

Their gallery blends documentary storytelling with softly guided editorial moments — which I love creating in NYC, especially with freshly fallen snow.

Afterwards, we headed downtown to her parent's penthouse in Greenwhich Village, where the celebration continued with a few portraits on the  city streets, surrounded by classic New York architecture and that newly-engaged glow.

Their gallery blends documentary and portraits with some softly guided, editorial moments — which I adore creating as a New York City proposal photographer, especially with fresh-fallen snow.

WINTER PROPOSAL by THE LAKE, CENTRAL PARK

El invierno en Central Park es pura magia: nieve tranquila, aire fresco y vistas icónicas del horizonte — como una película romántica. Es uno de los lugares más especiales para proponer matrimonio en Nueva York.

Esta hermosa pareja viajó desde Denver, y The Lake con los torreones de The San Remo al fondo creó el escenario perfecto. Hacía frío, pero se abrazaron para mantenerse calentitos — y su amor hizo que el momento brillara aún más.

Mel sospechó que algo pasaba cuando Zach sugirió una larga caminata en el frío (¡no era muy su estilo!). Pero al llegar al mirador, él se arrodilló y le pidió que se casara con él.
Ella dijo SÍ — y todo fue alegría.

Luego celebramos en el centro de la ciudad con retratos alrededor del penthouse de su familia en Greenwich Village — calles clásicas de Nueva York, luces de la ciudad, y ese brillo especial de recién comprometidos.

Su galería combina un estilo documental con retratos guiados suavemente — un enfoque editorial que amo crear en Nueva York, especialmente con nieve recién caída.
