A Gold Coast estate, gardens in every direction, and a question she never sees coming. Surprise proposals at Planting Fields and Coe Hall — planned with you in secret, captured as they happen.
Planting Fields gives a proposal room to breathe: the lawns below Coe Hall, the rose garden, the woodland paths. You pick the corner of the estate that fits your story; Scott handles the rest.
You share the plan: the stroll through the gardens, the exact spot, the cover story. We set the timing, your signal, and where Scott will be positioned — and confirm anything the park requires for your date.
On the day, Scott blends in with the other visitors, camera in hand, well before the two of you arrive at the spot.
The moment itself, then celebratory portraits around the grounds while you’re both still glowing — and a full edited gallery to share the news.
Surprise proposal photography at Planting Fields is $650 flat — planning, the shoot, and the edited gallery included.
The look Planting Fields does best — gardens, lawns, and grand old estate architecture, with real couples in the middle of it.
Ready when you are.
Text Scott — (516) 606-1783Yes — Planting Fields Arboretum in Oyster Bay, with Coe Hall, its gardens, and its sweeping lawns, is one of the most romantic proposal settings on Long Island’s Gold Coast. The proposal is planned with you in secret and captured as it happens.
Surprise proposal photography is $650 flat. Engagement sessions at Planting Fields are also $650.
Planting Fields is a New York State historic park, and photography there can require a permit depending on the shoot. When we plan your date and exact spot, we’ll confirm the current requirement so it’s handled before the day — no surprises.
You and Scott plan it beforehand by text or call — the garden, the timing, and a signal — so Scott is in position early and completely discreet among the other visitors until after she says yes.
Absolutely — if you’re already engaged, a Planting Fields engagement session is the same $650 flat. See the engagement page for how sessions work.
