Monica and Alejandro Got Engaged!

Monica and Alejandro Got Engaged!

Being a Wedding Photographer is definitely interesting and I have to say that I’ve had some great experiences. Sometimes I think that If I had the patience I could write a small book from the stuff that I’ve experienced in the past 13 years of photography.

One thing that I’ve been wanting to do for a while is to shoot a live proposal. I knew it would happen one day but I didn’t expect it to happen the way that it did.

Around a month ago I got contacted from someone from Mexico that said that he wanted to set up photo and video coverage of his friends proposal in NYC right before NYE. Monica and Alejandro was coming in from Mexico for New Years and Alejandro felt that this was a great chance to surprise Monica with a proposal. After two weeks of emailing and phone calls back and forth the plan was set and I left Albany to head down to Midtown Manhattan. Our groom-to-be Alejandro wanted to propose on the windy top of the Empire State Building so when the time came we made our way up to the top to get into position.  We waited till they got to the top and I think we were almost as nervous as Alejandro was.

Below is our future groom getting the ring ready….she had no idea!
