Vlad is the man! He advised me on the perfect timing for lighting, and was able to make time last minute. He was in the right spot and even asked someone to move out of the way before we got there. She had no idea it was coming. Vlad got in a couple dozen photos before she even noticed. They are all stunning. Captured great surprise and emotions. Then we had a really relaxing photoshoot in central park. Vlad led the way without intruding in our moment. He sent the photos later the same day! And the raw photos the next day upon request. Totally professional and a pleasure to work with. It's been so fun to have an intimate moment but also be able to now share it with friends and family. The only problem is there are way too many beautiful photos to chose from! ~ Steve K
The 007 of NYC secret photographers was at it once again! I hired him to capture my proposal in Central Park! I was nervous that he might have trouble finding the right photography angles while proposing on a busy Bow Bridge. I kept looking around as we approached and could not see anyone that stood out so I just trusted that he would get the job done. Next thing I knew I was down on one knee proposing to my girlfriend (now fiancé!!) and wouldn't you know it he popped out of nowhere! He did a great job. We had a one hour photo session afterwards and he took us to some amazing spots in Central Park. At the end of the session we had some photos within an hour to tide us over until we got the rest of them! Highly recommend! ~ Daniel J
I live in Toronto and planned a short weekend stay in New York for me and my girlfriend, now fiancé. I decided on proposing and knew I needed a photographer to capture the special moment. I began my search and it all ended with Vlad. I let him know that I was thinking of Central Park and he helped me with finding the best spot and time. When the day came, Vlad met us in Central Park on Bow Bridge and he bagan shooting as soon as we stepped onto the bridge. After I proposed, he walked us around Central Park for some amazing photo's. Both my fiancé and I are in LOVE with the pictures he took. End of the day, Vlad is the BEST bang for your buck! Don't waste your time talking to other photographers as Vlad is the best hands down! ~ Inderjit S
Having Vlad present to document the entire proposal was beyond perfect. Vlad was extremely professional and coordinated everything I had asked. Vlad provided outstanding communication before, leading up to, and during the proposal. He made sure we arrived at the best time once everything was set up. Following the proposal, Vlad took us around to some of the most popular and "photogenic" spots in Central Park, which made the entire experience even better. Thank you so much, Vlad. You made this entire experience relivable because of your expertise and fantastic eye! I highly recommend Vlad if you're thinking about marriage proposal photography. ~ Patrick C
Finding Vlad's photography services online was the missing link to our perfect marriage proposal. Vlad was so helpful from the first call to the day of the proposal - I must have asked him a million questions throughout the whole process! He assured me that he would "find us" and capture the perfect moment for us. Vlad followed with a map of the best route to take and a photo of the best spot to be right in front of Bow Bridge in Central Park. The guy is simply amazing and my now, fiancé says she couldn't have imagine our special day without Vlad's pictures. Vlad - thank you SO much! We will be in touch for more pictures for the special events to come! ~ Jordon G
I live in South Africa and we had travels booked to New York. I have never been there but my (then) girl had been twice. She fell in love with central park, and later with me as well (luckally). So I had this idea that I wanted to propose to her there but I also wanted to make it a special thing and have great memories of the day. So my search began. I found Vlad and so it begun. He helped me with the planning and what I needed - it really was a smooth process. The pictures look amazing and I would honestly recommend anyone who is looking to do some special stuff for an engagement and wants some proof of it to give him a call. ~ Voytek I
Vlad and his team transformed our proposal into an unforgettable experience. As someone not from the area, I was initially concerned about organizing such an important event from afar. However, Vlad's professionalism and clear communication quickly alleviated any worries. What impressed me most was Vlad's exceptional talent and creativity. He didn't just take photos; he captured moments, emotions, and the essence of our special day. After extensively researching local photographers, I'm confident that choosing Vlad was the best decision I made. His passion for photography is evident in every aspect of his work, from the initial planning stages to the final delivered product. Vlad isn't just a photographer; he is someone who truly invests in creating magical moments for his clients. Our proposal wouldn't have been nearly as special without his expert touch. We're incredibly grateful for the memories he's given us. ~ Anthony T
I am from Scotland (United Kingdom) and it couldn't have been any easier contacting Vlad, I emailed Vlad constantly all containing questions, he couldn't have been more helpful and more informative about everything, he described everything well and clear, and only took a few days to recieve my photos and the photos are brilliant amazing quality! He made my proposal special! Now the memory of our special day can be shown to everyone and remembered! Me and my fiancé HIGHLY RECOMMEND Vlad to anyone thinking of hiring a photographer for a special occasion. We thank Vlad for great photos and a great service. ~ Shaun B
Vlad is incredible! I had messaged him about two months before planning a proposal date and location. He was right on time for a surprise proposal in Central Park and all I had to do was just text him when I was close to the spot. Incredibly, he arranged for a musician to play a special song right as I got down on a knee! She had no idea Vlad was there until afterwards and had no idea the guitarist was for us until I got down on my knee. He took beautiful pictures to perfectly capture the moment and also great pictures afterwards at some of the most picturesque locations in Central Park. We are thrilled with the photos! Thank you, Vlad! ~ Lee R
Hired Vlad to capture that special moment. I didn't tell my girlfriend he was taking pics by blending in the crowd. Vlad is a true professional. We are completely satisfied and highly recommend Vlad. Communication was excellent and he provided our pics (over 370) to us within 24 hrs. The pics turned out awesome and we have received so many complements. I highly suggest to hire him at a minimum of one hour. You won't regret it! Will definitely hire him again. Pleasant to wrk with. No issues at all. Thank you Vlad for capturing our moments. Fred & Jessenia G ~ Jessenia G
Words cannot describe how talented Vlad is. While searching for photographers in NYC I noticed Vlads engagement portfolio, it was everything I was looking for. I was in a bit of a time crunch when I reached out to him however he got back to me within a couple of hours agreeing to take my proposal photos! He is extremely professional and helped me plan everything for my proposal. Once we received the photos we were very happy with the results. Highly recommend him if you are looking for a great photographer in NYC who personable and goes the extra step to make your big day special! ~ Rushi P
It was great working with Vlad. He came highly recommended and I am very happy I went with him. Responsive, attentive to detail and professional. Picked a time and place. A quick look at the wrist for the "ok" via my smart watch (very convenient device for those planning) and I was able to immerse myself in the moment with out any worry of capturing it. Afterward, while my fiancé and I were in a daze Vlad was able to provide great photographic direction to guide us for some post engagement photos. He truly captured our love for one another in our photos. Thank you Vlad!! ~ Nathaniel A
A+ service all-around! My original plans had me proposing to my girlfriend at Top of the Rock. Unfortunately, the NYC weather in May didn’t agree. The entire city (skyline) was engulfed in fog. Vlad really came through for me though. He recommended Central Park, Bethesda Terrace in particular. What followed was simply magical. My girlfriend didn’t suspect anything, and the pics turned out amazing! Vlad truly knows his craft! Guys/gals, you can’t go wrong in trusting Vlad to capture the moment, highly recommend! -LaMarcus ~ LaMarcus
Fantastic service from Vlad, Start to finish the proposal and planning was exceptional, Met all my requirements to get the perfect moment. Everything went smoothly, My girlfriend never had a clue he was there to capture it all, Texted me the exact location of where our proposal had been planned, all I had to do was show up at the time we decided on. Spent 30 minutes or so after the proposal capturing photos together although his packages vary in times etc. 5 stars all round! Thanks again Vlad we have our moment captured forever! ~ Keiran D
Vlad captured our proposal so so beautifully! The photoshoot after the proposal was the cherry on top! He knew exactly where to take us in Central Park to capture the best moments/scenery! He was professional, knowledgeable and helped my now fiance with the logistics of the proposal to ensure that it was perfect! He sent us the photos and video and in a quick turn around time and was very responsive throughout the process! While he specializes in proposal photography, we highly recommend Vlad, no matter the event!! ~ Shoshana M
Vlad es un auténtico profesional. A la hora acordada estaba en el lugar, preparado para captar la reacción y la esencia del momento. Conoce perfectamente el entorno y eso hace que queden unas fotos espectaculares. Además, enseguida nos las entregó. Gracias! ~ G2 S
Vlad was awesome! I would highly recommend him for anyone proposing in NYC. He is very responsive and timely with emails and texts and provides great ideas for photos. On the day of my proposal he was discretely set up and ready to go as soon as we arrived. My fiancé had no idea he was shooting us as I dropped to my knee and popped the question. Once she realized he was there, his guidance and suggestions made for some really beautiful and nature pictures. Im extremely happy I hired him to capture one of our big days! ~ Ken B
Vlad was extremely professional and very responsive. We were able to go over details and logistics for the big day to make sure everything went smoothly. I opted for the $495 package which included an hour photo shoot after the proposal which we did in Central Park and the Plaza Hotel. We received all of the photos from Vlad within 3 days of the proposal. The pictures turned out fantastic and my fiance loved them. She couldn't wait to post them. Thanks, Vlad, for capturing that special moment for us! ~ Jameel Y
I recently had proposed to my girlfriend in New York, and it took me a while to figure things out in order to make this moment special for her and for both of us. Luckily I had an opportunity to find Vlad who has been so understanding and flexible, as I changed the places and the themes several times! Vlad has been very professional and patient with all my ideas! He has been following me the entire time and caught all the perfect moments on our proposal video that I will certainly play during our wedding! ~ Daren M
Vlad is an amazing photographer with a lot of talent! He is very professional and really has an amazing eye for capturing breath taking moments that you will cherish forever! He made my proposal that much more amazing! He was super discrete, and my fiancé didn’t even know he was there until after when I pointed him out! All the pictures he took and moments he captured will for sure be cherished for a lifetime! You can tell that Vlad has a passion for photography and it really shows in the pictures he takes! I would recommend Vlad hands down! ~ Daniel T
Vlad's instagram and website attest to his photographic skills and I couldn't be happier with the moments he captured during my proposal. Equally impressive is his professionalism and strong communication. Setting up the shoot was a breeze and he took initiative to coordinate with the singer I hired for the occasion. He arrived for the shoot at Central Park early despite the coinciding New York Marathon with all of its roadblocks and accommodated our 40 minute tardiness. Thank you, Vlad, for capturing our special moment. ~ R986
Thank you Vlad for capturing a very important moment in our lives. Vlad picked an amazing, intimate spot in Central Park for pictures and made sure to provide us with many picture options. We also went to a second location that was just as perfect as the first. My fiance was completely shocked and we absolutely love every picture that was taken. He was very discreet and she didn't have a clue that he was following us throughout the park. We can't thank you enough! ~ Mike Z
Vlad Leto was absolutely incredible from start to finish with my proposal photos & videos. He showed up early, discussed what I wanted & established a plan, and executed perfectly. His photos and videos are perfect, these are just some of the dozens of pictures my wife and I look back at all the time. His pricing was more than fair given the other quotes I got. Can’t say enough positive things about this experience - 10/10 absolutely do recommend! ~ Lucas B
Vlad is a man of his craft! His work is so precise and diligent he captured my surprise proposal so perfectly! My jaw dropped when I saw the photos and video! I am certain that no one else would have been able to meet our expectations the way Vlad did. He arrived early to the Edge and was with us the entire time but made sure I didn't notice him until my significant other was down on his knee. He took some excellent pictures with some great angles afterwards and we honestly couldn't be happier! ~ Romie G
