This past weekend I had the pleasure of speaking with Alex who had planned on a NYC Surprise proposal for his beloved Lea! This NYC Surprise proposal took place in City Hall Park, close to where the couple lived. Alex really thought of everything from scouting the area where he planned to propose, and to contacting a friend, John, who kindly sat on the bench Alex planned on taking Lea. So there was John, the bench holder....and of course being a busy Saturday next to the Brooklyn Bridge there were a ton of people milling about and looking at the current art work displayed in the park. Good thing Matt was with me so he strolled to the other side of John and the two chatted away to ensure no one sat on the bench!!! Finally, here comes Alex and Lea...Now it was a very good thing there was an art work display (a mashed up bicycle) just near the bench. This helped me masked the fact that I was taking photos of them strolling towards us, so to the passing eye it just looks like another person taking photos of the art work! I really was concentrating on getting all the angles of that bike (see below)...Of course I really was eyeing the love birds and getting ready for the big moment. Alex in the meantime told Lea they were meeting his Uncle and of course have dinner after.

Everything went smoothly, and with Lea close to tears she said "YES"!!! and we now have a happily engaged couple! So glad to have been a part of it all. Here are just a few photos from their big day! I LOVE capturing proposals!!! I love it even more when the new bride-to-be can't stop smiling the whole time!

Congratulations once again!!! Enjoy the photos below and more to come soon!
