A Dumbo Brooklyn proposal photos in front of the River Cafe, the private garden area.
At the end of March, we were fortunate to have a warm 80-degree day. Colt, the proposer, wanted to pop the question in the “private” gardens in front of the River Cafe in Dumbo, Brooklyn. I purchased pink roses, Miranda’s favorite color, to help mark the spot where Colt would propose. I say “private gardens” loosely, as it is open to the public; however, the restaurant has strict guidelines against professional photography. Colt requested permission from the restaurant in advance, as he had dinner reservations a few hours later. Upon my arrival, I needed to reconfirm with the management of the River Cafe to ensure that we wouldn’t be interrupted during one of the most critical moments in this couple’s lives.

We spent about 45 minutes wandering around Dumbo, Brooklyn, taking photos at various locations with the NYC skyline, Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, and Jane’s Carousel as backdrops.
