A Waterfront Proposal in Tarrytown: Anthony & Mackenzie


If you’re looking for a proposal location that feels scenic, romantic, and just a little bit tucked away, Tarrytown is such a good choice.


Anthony planned the sweetest day for Mackenzie, starting with a nice lunch nearby before heading to the Scenic Hudson RiverWalk in Tarrytown. Since they were coming from a nicer restaurant, they were both dressed up, which made everything feel a little extra special right from the start.


They walked out onto a small pier overlooking the Hudson River, with the Tappan Zee Bridge stretching across the background. Even on a chilly and windy mid-March day, the setting was absolutely beautiful.


And that’s where Anthony got down on one knee. Mackenzie’s reaction was pure joy, and it was such a sweet moment!

After the big moment, we spent time walking along the Scenic RiverWalk capturing portraits with the water, the bridge, and the surrounding views in the background. This location is so versatile, and even in early spring, it completely delivered.


What made this proposal even more special was hearing from Mackenzie afterwards:


"Joliette made my proposal even more special than I could have ever imagined! She worked with my fiancé to plan an incredible surprise photoshoot, and the final photos are absolutely stunning that we'll cherish forever. She made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire experience, and her energy was so fun and easygoing. You can truly tell she has an amazing eye for capturing the perfect moments. Highly recommend!”


Moments like this are exactly why I love what I do. I love to help couples not only capture the moment, but feel amazing during it, too.
