David and Val are from Texas and visit NYC each year. David wanted the setting for his marriage proposal to feature the best of both worlds that NYC has to offer, combining the natural beauty of Central Park with the modern architecture and sleekness of the New York City scape. I recomended one of my favorite spots that looks out over the skating rink in Central Park on the Southside. The views are spectacular from this vantage point. The southsie of Central Park captures modern NYC while the north side has a more classic old world New York feel. It was much colder than these photos might coney but fortunately it wasn’t icy otherwise it would have been too slippery to pull off safely! Before he proposed David and Val had brunch at Sarahbeth’s nearby and then they strolled over to check out the views and snap some selfies. Before Val knew it David was on his knee popping the question! I love her reaction. So adorable. The taxi-cab photo at the end of the photo set is one of my favorites! Congrats to Dave & Val!

Ali and Jasmine were visiting NYC from Canada and Ali planned to propose in Central Park on a cold snowy day. Central Park is beautiful no matter the season. Every season the park looks strikingly different. In winter it’s stark white and blue, other days grey and burnt orange. Currently it’s green and lush, now that cherry blossom season is over. I love looking back at proposals that have happened in the same location across seasons. Come to think of it, it would make for a pretty cool post.
Ali and Jasmine are an absolutely adorable as you can see. They have this amazing chemistry and humor between each other. There’s a little twinkle of mischief in each of their eyes that shows their passion and fun loving dynamic. I love Jasmine’s story of how they met. It was love at first sight as a mutual friend’s party. He told her “come here” and she said “no, you come here”! The rest is history. – Ash
