NYC Central Park Surprise Proposal Photographer
Central Park is a historic and iconic urban park located in the heart of Manhattan, New York City. Central Park spans approximately 843 acres (341 hectares) and stretches from 59th Street to 110th Street and from Fifth Avenue to Eighth Avenue. It is one of the largest urban parks in the world and serves as a green oasis amidst the bustling cityscape of Manhattan. Central Park was designed by landscape architects Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux. Construction began in 1858 and the park was officially completed in 1873. Its creation was part of a larger effort to provide green space for New York City residents and to enhance the city's landscape. Central Park is one of the most popular locations in NYC for planning a surprise proposal! Here is a recent surprise proposal in Central Park with portraits after near the Bethesda Fountain!
Some of the most popular locations in Central Park for a surprise proposal include:
Bethesda Terrace and Fountain: Located in the middle of the park, Bethesda Terrace is a grand architectural feature with sweeping staircases, intricate carvings, and a central fountain. It offers stunning views of the lake and is a popular spot for photography and relaxation.
The Great Lawn: This expansive green space is located in the center of the park and serves as a venue for concerts, performances, and recreational activities such as picnicking, sunbathing, and playing sports like soccer and Frisbee.
Central Park Zoo: Situated near the southeast corner of the park, the Central Park Zoo is a small but popular zoo that houses a variety of animals, including sea lions, penguins, snow leopards, and red pandas. It's a favorite attraction for families and animal enthusiasts.
The Ramble: A wooded area with winding paths, streams, and rustic bridges, the Ramble is a haven for birdwatchers and nature lovers seeking a tranquil escape from the city's hustle and bustle. It's known for its biodiversity and serene atmosphere.
Conservatory Garden: Located on the park's northeast corner, the Conservatory Garden is a formal garden divided into three distinct sections: Italian, French, and English. It features beautiful floral displays, fountains, and manicured lawns, making it a popular spot for weddings and photography.
The Mall and Literary Walk: A wide promenade lined with majestic American elm trees, the Mall leads to Literary Walk, where statues of literary figures such as William Shakespeare, Robert Burns, and Sir Walter Scott are located. It's a picturesque area for strolling and people-watching.
Loeb Boathouse and Central Park Lake: The Loeb Boathouse offers boat rentals for rowing on Central Park Lake, providing a serene experience amidst the park's natural beauty. The lake itself is popular for boating, birdwatching, and enjoying scenic views of the city skyline.
Belvedere Castle: Perched on Vista Rock, Belvedere Castle offers panoramic views of Central Park and the surrounding cityscape. It serves as a visitor center and provides telescopes for viewing wildlife and landmarks within the park.

Baltimore Fort Mchenry Surprise Proposal
Baltimore Fort Mchenry Surprise Proposal
Baltimore has a lot of great locations for a surprise proposal! Check out this recent surprise proposal we photographed at Fort Mchenry!
Fort McHenry is a historic star-shaped fort located in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. It's best known for its role in the War of 1812, specifically for its defense during the Battle of Baltimore in September 1814. This battle marked a turning point in the war and inspired Francis Scott Key to write the poem "Defence of Fort M'Henry," which later became the lyrics for the United States national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner."
During the Battle of Baltimore, the British Navy bombarded the fort for 25 hours, but the fort's defenders held strong, refusing to surrender. This resilience earned Fort McHenry a place in American history as a symbol of patriotism and national pride.
Today, Fort McHenry is a national monument and historic shrine, managed by the National Park Service. Visitors can explore the fort's grounds, museum exhibits, and watch demonstrations of historic military drills. The fort offers guided tours, educational programs, and events to help visitors learn about its significance in American history.
