Sharon Bushman - New York City Proposal and Wedding Photographer

Originally from Livonia, Michigan, I graduated from Western Michigan University with a theatre degree. I then moved across the Atlantic and made London, England my home. While there, I attended Mountview Theatre School and lived the life of a struggling actress. After 7 wonderful years, it was time to return to the States and try my luck in the Big Apple.
Well, life happens, priorities change, and I discover a tremendous passion for photography. I was particularly fond of portrait photography and decided that I could merge my two "loves" by taking headshots for performers.
Then, I had an opportunity to do a Surprise Proposal photo shoot and that was it! I was immediately bitten by the love bug! Shooting engagements and weddings makes me a happy girl! Getting to share such a special day with the couple and their friends and family is a truly awesome experience.

I look forward to meeting you soon!

mike + katie – surprise proposal at top of the rock, NYC

Early in the morning on the first day of 2012, Mike proposed to Katie on top of Rockefeller Center’s observation deck Top of the Rock. He surprised Katie first with a trip to NYC from Michigan and then with a beautiful diamond ring! When Mike emailed me about photographing this proposal, we decided that the morning would be best to avoid the crowds and it worked out great. The bright sun and brilliant blue skies were the backdrop for a perfect day! What a way to start 2012!

Thank you Mike and Katie for making my job so much fun. It was my pleasure to be a part such a big day in your lives. Say hello to Michigan for me!
