Surprise proposal on the Gapstow Bridge in Central Park | Tim & Kristina’s NYC Heiratsantrag

English:
Tim’s surprise proposal was one of the most romantic snowy winter proposals I have photographed to date. The first idea was to photograph the proposal in Dumbo with the New York Skyline in the background. But a day before the proposal the weather forecast started to look pretty grim. So we changed locations last minute to the Gapstow Bridge in Central Park. And it turned out to be the right decision as it started to snow the moment Tim and Kristina entered the bridge. And the rest is history. The proposal happened on a gorgeous winter day in the best city in the world while it started to snow big white snowflakes. It was a dream come true. Kristina said YES of course and we continued to take engagement photos in snowy Central Park. We walked through ‘The Mall’ towards the Bethesda Fountain. We stopped at the Bow Bridge and ended the day at the rocks next to the Ladies Pavilion. Winter magic for sure….

German:
Tim’s Heiratsantrag ist einer der romantischsten Winteranträge die ich bis jetzt fotografieren dürft. Erst wollte Tim den Antrag in Dumbo vor der New York Skyline machen. Dann sah aber plötzlich der Wetterbericht einen Tag vor dem Antrag sehr Trübe aus so dass wir ihn kurzfristig zur Gapstow Bridge im Central Park verlegt haben. Und das erwies sich als goldrichtig da es plötzlich anfing zu schneien als Tim und Kristina auf die Brücke liefen. Der Hochzeitsantrag geschah an einem wunderschönen Wintertag in der besten Stadt der Welt inmitten von grossen weissen Schneeflocken. Es war wie ein Traum. Kristina sagte natürlich JA und wir fotografierten Verlobungsbilder im weissen Central Park. Wir wanderten durch ‘The Mall’ Richtung ‘Bethesda Fountain’ und hielten auch kurz bei der Bow Bridge an bevor wir den Tag in der Nähe vom ‘Ladies ‘Pavilion’ beendeten. Ein wahres Wintermärchen….

Happy Valentine’s Day my wife, my rock, and the heart of our family. 💕

I still love her 85 times to the moon and back. She’s the calm when things get chaotic, the one who sees the good in every situation, and the glue that holds us all together. Her laugh can brighten any day, and her support is the kind of magic you don’t take for granted.

I love our trips to the Baltic Sea, our Disney adventures, and the simple, everyday moments that make life with her so special. She’s my business partner, the love of my life, and my best friend - and I’m endlessly grateful for her, for us, and for the life we’ve built together.

This October, we’ll celebrate 20 years of marriage, and I swear I love her more with every passing year. ❤️

And, fun fact: our daughter took this photo. The talent clearly runs in the family. 😉📸
