Discreet proposal photography — proposals planned with you in secret and captured as they happen, plus relaxed engagement sessions for couples who’ve already said yes.
Real Long Island proposals, captured the second they happened — and engagement sessions with couples who just said yes. Nothing staged, nothing recreated.
Planning a proposal?
Text Scott — (516) 606-1783They sound similar, but they’re opposites — one is a secret mission for the partner about to ask, the other a planned session for a couple who already has. Pick your side:
You’re planning to propose — and your partner has no idea. I’m your accomplice. Before the day, you and I plan the whole thing together, down to the details:
You’re already engaged — congratulations! An engagement session is a planned photo shoot for the two of you, built entirely around your story:
Planning a proposal?
Text Scott — (516) 606-1783A surprise proposal only happens once — so we plan it like a film shoot, down to the minute, and then I disappear until it’s over.
You text me the exact location, and we lock in the timing, the signal that tells me the question is coming, and exactly where I’ll be positioned. Your partner suspects nothing.
I arrive early and blend into the background. When the moment comes, I capture it as it happens — the knee, the reaction, the yes — then step in for a few joyful portraits while it’s all still fresh.
Your edited gallery — ready to relive, share with family and friends, and post the announcement everyone’s been waiting for.
As a filmmaker, I can also capture the moment on video — ask about a proposal film when we plan.
From the end of the Island to your favorite quiet beach, I know the light, the hiding spots, and the golden-hour timing.
The lighthouse, the bluffs, and sunset over the water at the very end of Long Island.
Vineyards, farms, and quiet bayside beaches with room to breathe.
Golden-hour sand and surf — the Island’s natural backdrop for a yes.
Vineyard rows, gardens, and grand estates across the East End and beyond.
I’m Scott Goldberg, a Long Island filmmaker and photographer, and the eye behind North Fork Wedding Films. Proposals are my favorite thing to shoot — one unrepeatable minute, planned like a production and captured like a film. I’ll help you pick the spot, hide in plain sight, and hand you images that let you live that minute again for the rest of your lives.
Yes — surprise proposals are our specialty. The proposal is planned with the partner who is about to propose, and we capture the real moment as it happens.
Proposal photography is $650 flat. Engagement sessions are also $650.
You and Scott plan it beforehand by text or call — you share the exact location, and you set the timing and a signal together, so Scott is in position and ready before the moment happens.
No. Scott stays completely discreet — hidden in plain sight — until after she says yes. Then, if you’d like, we can take a few celebratory portraits together.
A proposal shoot captures the actual surprise moment when one partner proposes. An engagement session is a planned photo shoot for a couple who are already engaged, at a location you choose together.
All of Long Island — Montauk, the North Fork, the Hamptons, and across Suffolk and Nassau County, including beaches, vineyards, and estates.
