Engagement Parties & Proposals in East Meadow: photography & video
Whether you're planning a surprise proposal or celebrating with family and friends after saying yes, MacroSnaps photographers and videographers can cover it. For proposals, we work quietly in the background so the moment stays a surprise. For engagement parties, we cover the couple, the toasts and the first time both families celebrate together, including any traditions your families bring to the occasion.
East Meadow is a community in New York, home to roughly 38,000 people. We cover engagement party or proposal events in banquet halls, hotels, places of worship, restaurants and private homes throughout East Meadow and nearby Levittown and Hempstead.
Proposals depend on planning. We agree on the exact location, a signal and where we'll be standing, often posing as a passer-by, so we're ready the moment you go down on one knee. Afterward, we take time for portraits of the newly engaged couple and close-up photos of the ring. Engagement parties are more relaxed, with candid photos, family portraits and speeches.
For a typical engagement party or proposal, clients in East Meadow book about 2 hours of photography ($350) and 2 hours of videography ($500). Photography is $250 for the first hour and $100 for each additional hour; videography is $300 for the first hour and $200 for each additional hour, with a 2-hour minimum. The first-hour price includes travel, so East Meadow costs the same as anywhere else we work, and there are no quotes to wait for.

Planning tips
Planning your coverage in East Meadow
Scout the proposal location
Choose a spot with good light and a simple way to get your partner there. Send us photos or a map pin, and agree on a clear signal so we know when it's happening.
Plan for the right time of day
Late afternoon light flatters outdoor proposals. Avoid busy times at popular landmarks if you want a clear background.
Book 2 hours for a proposal
The 2-hour minimum covers setup, the proposal and a portrait session afterward. Engagement parties are usually 2 to 3 hours.
Add video for the moment itself
Video captures what you said and your partner's reaction. A second videographer or photographer can film a close angle and a wide angle at the same time.
Professional photography doesn't have to be expensive
