Surprise Marriage Proposal on the Waterfront of Domino Park, Williamsburg (Brooklyn)

Against the picturesque backdrop of Domino Park's waterfront on a crisp winter afternoon, I had the privilege of capturing a surprise proposal for Josiah and his girlfriend. With both the Manhattan skyline and the industrial architecture of the park serving as the backdrop, I captured the exact moments of the question being popped, as well as some candid portraits that followed, during our one-hour shoot.

Locations like Domino Park offer stunning urban landscapes that provide incredible environments for engagement photos, and a skilled photographer can discreetly capture the raw emotion of your proposal, preserving every genuine reaction and tender moment.
