April 10, 2025

There’s something timeless about a spring proposal in Brooklyn. This surprise proposal at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden felt like a scene from a movie—quiet, emotional, and surrounded by nature in bloom. As a NYC proposal photographer, capturing these moments during peak spring is always something special.

They arrived hand in hand, just like any couple enjoying a morning walk. But tucked away in the garden was a plan for something unforgettable. The surprise, the joy, the pure emotion—it all unfolded so naturally. And that’s the beauty of proposals like this. It wasn’t staged or rushed. It felt calm, private, and full of love.
