When you propose, you’ve got your perfect person, your perfect ring, and the only thing missing is the perfect place. Don’t worry- we’ve got you covered. From Acorn Street to Boston Public Gardens, we’re taking you through all of our favorite places to propose on Boston. Put on your seat belts…this is going to be a romantic ride!

1. Acorn Street

Acorn Street has been around since the 1820’s and that’s the exact feeling you get as you’re walking through the cobblestone path that’s so narrow and so unique unlike any road you’ve walked through before. This charming place has tons of restaurants and hotels around the area and is a total picture-perfect place to propose.

2. The Barn At Gibble Hill

The Barn in over 100 years old and is absolutely gorgeous. The views on this hill are never ending with a wide-open sky for a clear mind as you’re getting down on one knee to ask the question you’ve both been waiting for.

3. Bancroft’s Castle

On top of Gibbet Hill there’s Bancroft’s castle. Also a historical and a romantic spot secluded enough to have that special one on one moment.

4. Boston Public Garden

Boston Public Garden is amazingly stunning. Propose here as swans glide through the lake and maybe you’ll be lucky enough for some light rain for that picture perfect notebook shot.

5. Nashoba Valley Winery 

The winery is a perfect place for a picnic as you bite on a fresh apple and share some delicious wine and celebrate while getting charmingly tipsy, or why not, drunk on love.

Kurt and Amanda took a romantic stroll to a gorgeous rose garden in their neighborhood, and he surprised her with a diamond ring. Here’s their adorable love story.

They met in August of 2010 at a friend’s birthday party.  Amanda had just moved to Phoenix for Pharmacy school and one of her new classmates was friends with Kurt’s bandmate at the time.  They met at a birthday party and Kurt’s phone died so he gave her his number. Luckily she called! Kurt thought she was beautiful and they hit it off and got along well, then realized they were both big fans of the band Muse and Kurt was hooked! “Our first Valentine’s day I told her I love her (I only waited another 5 and a half years to pop the question!)”

“The area is special to us because it is just down the street from where we live and bought our first house together.  We had visited the Rose Garden before with her grandma and dad and I thought it would be an intimate and romantic spot in the neighborhood to propose.”

They shopped for the ring together, after visiting a few different stores they found the perfect ring at Robbins Brothers in Scottsdale. “I couldn’t have done it without all of the help I got from Amanda’s sister Shannon and my brother Kyle. Shannon gave me a lot of planning advice and helped keep Amanda surprised, Kyle helped plan and was there to set up the picnic.”

A hopeless romantic, Kyle wanted their proposal to be a fairytale-perfect start to their happily ever after.  And no fairytale is complete without a castle!  So Kyle whisked Jessica away to Castello di Amorosa in Napa Valley for a stunning weekend vineyard getaway.

The happy couple first laid eyes on each other when they were 11 years old.  The pair had just started middle school.  Jessica loved Kyle’s goofy personality and sense of humor, and that he could make her laugh even at his most annoying times.  They became fast friends over the next three years, but parted ways to go to different high schools and lost touch.

Then, in their senior year of high school, Jessica was hanging out with her friends and decided to prank call Kyle.  She was surprised and impressed when he recognized her voice, calling her out on her prank.  From that day forward, the two began talking everyday and picked up their friendship right where they had left off.

Except this time, with an undeniable spark.  When they met up again, Kyle thought Jessica was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, and after getting to know her more, he learned that she had a stunning personality to match.

When the time came to go to college, Kyle was set to go to New York, and Jessica was off to Colorado.  But they decided that this time, even thousands of miles wouldn’t get in the way.  Their relationship was further put to the test when Jessica studied abroad in Italy, but their deep, loving connection kept them strong through the distance.

Both Jessica and Kyle maintain that they knew from the time they started dating that they had found The One. He had what she was looking for in a husband, and his positive, carefree approach to life made her want to always be by his side.  Over the years, Kyle began to realize that he never wanted to be apart from Jessica because of how special she made him feel. And in more recent years, he has admired her strong relationship with her family and her emphasis on family values.

Kyle knows Jessica so well that he was able to provide her with an absolutely perfect proposal moment.  After sipping wine and roaming the Castle grounds, the two stepped onto the terrace, to share a bottle of wine and charcuterie and take in the views of the rambling vineyard.  Smiling and looking into Jessica’s eyes, Kyle knelt down and presented her with a shining engagement ring from Tacori’s Icing on the Ring collection.

As she recalled ten years of love and beautiful memories, Jessica eagerly said yes!

But that wasn’t the only surprise Kyle had in mind.  He had also invited both sides of the family to meet up with them afterwards for a weekend-long wine-tasting celebration, so that they could share their magical moment with the most important people in their lives, and begin the blending of two families.

The best part about their whole proposal?  Kyle reached out to Paparazzi Proposals, and one of our sneaky snappers captured the entire proposal, so that while the two of them shared their own private engagement moment, they can share it with the family through stunning surprise engagement photography!

It was the perfect match.

On their first date, Ajay immediately noticed that she was well-spoken and stunningly beautiful.  He was drawn in even more by her kind heart and her sense of humor.  She was attracted to his general goofiness and enjoyed that they shared laughs with ease.

Ajay said that as their love grew, they both came to slowly realize that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together.

When the time came for him to propose, he wanted to wow his loved one with amazing views.  So he chose a breathtaking helicopter ride along the California coast, gliding past the Hollywood Hills and landing at a private outlook point in the canyon.

Once the two were on the ground and taking in the views, he turned to her and presented her with a gorgeous ring!

She said yes!  And one of Paparazzi Proposals’ sneaky photogs was there to capture every beautiful moment!

After nearly seven years together, Michael was ready to propose and wanted to make the moment perfect.  And as the sun set out over the city, with sweeping views from the roof deck at Hotel East Houston—it was.

Every fairytale ending has a beginning, and for this happy couple, it was during the first week of class at Southwestern College in Winfield, Kansas back in 2006.

Caitlin and Michael had two classes together that fall.  As she walked into the room, they locked eyes.  He immediately noticed her stunning smile.  She chose desks next to him in both classes and tried to strike up conversation.  She was drawn in by his compassionate way with others and wanted to get to know him better, but Michael was quiet and didn’t chat very much, so after a few weeks, she changed seats.

That could have been the end of their story, but a year and a half later, in the spring of 2008, they reconnected.  This time, the chemistry was undeniable, and they began the start of a beautiful relationship.

Over the years, Michael’s old injuries from football began to cause him pain.  Caitlin willingly took care of him through it all, never leaving his side.  That was when Michael knew she was The One.

And when Michael met Caitlin’s whole family and immediately fit in, she knew that he was the person she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.

The couple loves traveling together, so Michael felt that a trip to New York City would provide the perfect opportunity to pop the question.  He also knew that Caitlin loved the idea of a rooftop wedding, and decided that a skyline engagement setting would be a great start to their journey to the altar.  He knew taking his small town girl to the big city to propose was going to be a memorable, cherished moment and hired Paparazzi Proposals to capture their proposal with surprise engagement photography.

Now, the couple has photos to document each joyful moment of their beautiful marriage proposal!  View all of their stunning pictures, here.

On November 2^nd of this past year, Oray and Julia were preparing to go on their first date.

Both Oray and Julia had had a long series of bad dates and poor experiences by the time they were set to meet each other.  Each of them had separately vowed that this would be their last date before they both abandoned the quest to find that person to spend the rest of their lives with.

Little did they know, they would fall in love instantly on that first date.  Oray says he knew Julia was The One from the moment he met her.  Her kind, caring nature shone through and immediately made clear to him that this was the woman he had been looking for, the partner he wanted to share the rest of his journey with.

“Every day since then has just convinced us more that we were meant to be together,” said Oray.

Knowing they wanted to be together, the couple quickly began to discuss plans for the future.   They originally agreed to wait for a full year from the date that they had met in order to get engaged, but Oray wanted to completely surprise his love by proposing earlier than expected.

So, 7 months into his whirlwind romance with Julia, he reached out to her daughters for advice. He wanted them to be part of the whole process, and knew they’d help him dream up exactly the experience that Julia wanted.

They set about helping him pick a ring that suited her style, and meaningful date—Julia’s mother’s birthday.

To make sure their mother had her dream proposal, complete photos to document the couple’s beautiful love story, her daughters immediately referred Oray to Paparazzi Proposals.

“One daughter sent me the link to Paparazzi Proposals, and I was off to the races!” Oray said.  “They helped me pick the spot and with all the planning.  The Top of the Rock could not have been a better spot!  The views were incredible.”

And so, on June 6th, with the sun shining and with sweeping, photogenic views of all of Manhattan in the background, Oray dropped to one knee and presented Julia with a stunning ring from Kay Jewelers.

Truly surprised and beaming with happiness, she accepted! And our sneaky snapper was there to capture every gorgeous moment of their proposal.  Now, the couple has yet another way to include Julia’s daughters in the magical moment—stunning photographs to commemorate another chapter in their true love story.

The post NYC Proposal Photography – Oray and Julia’s Top of the Rock Engagement appeared first on Paparazzi Proposals.

They came across a blanket laid out on the ground.  Mariachi approached them and began to play.  That’s when Chad dropped to one knee, and presented Sandra with a sparkling engagement ring from Robbins Brothers!

After she said yes, the two embraced and kissed before sharing a dance to the music of the Mariachi.  Our photographer captured every beautiful, genuine moment, so now the couple can commemorate their beautiful engagement with gorgeous photos.

But as we know, every silver-screen worthy ending starts somewhere!  We spoke to Chad and Sandra to see where their love story started.

In the summer of 2005, while hundreds of moviegoers were having their own romantic date nights at the AMC movie theaters in Ontario, CA, two of the cinema’s employees were falling in love.

Sandra was training new hires at the theater, and Chad had just gotten a job there.  When he came in for his first day of training, he was struck by Sandra’s stunning beauty.  Chad knew Sandra was one of a kind, and was awed by her bubbly demeanor and winning smile.

Chad stood out to Sandra because of his outgoing personality.  He spoke his mind and was able to make her laugh instantly.  The two were immediately attracted to each other, but kept a working relationship.

When Chad found out that Sandra would soon be transferred away from his location to Fullerton to manage a theater there, he was devastated. The job that brought them together threatened to separate them for good, and he hadn’t let her know how he felt before she left.  He knew at that moment that she was the one, and vowed that if he ever saw her again he would try his best to convince her to go out on a date with him.

When Sandra came back to work in Ontario for a short time, he got his chance.  He asked her out on a picnic date, and she accepted.  Finally getting the chance to impress Sandra, Chad was nervous—but was able to make the experience beautiful and memorable.

“I knew instantly that he was different from any other guy I had met,” said Sandra.  “He put so much effort and detail into that date; from taking my favorite dessert (keeping coffee ice cream frozen in June is no easy feat!) to finding a beautiful scenic view!” she gushed.

That first date let Sandra know that she had met someone special, and the two continued to build a beautiful romance and friendship over the next 9 years.

San Diego was the place where they shared their first weekend getaway together, as well as where they celebrated their one-year anniversary, so when the time was right for Chad to pop the question, he knew that he wanted the magic moment to be there.

First, he shopped for Sandra’s stunning ring at Robbins Brothers.  The popular jeweler recommended Paparazzi Proposals’ services to help Chad plan and coordinate the perfect proposal moment.

After consulting with our team, Chad settled on the quiet, private spot in the park as the location for his marriage proposal, and wowed Sandra once more with an outdoor proposal reminiscent of their very first date.

Which is why he chose Millenium Park as the place for his romantic engagement, and had Paparazzi Proposals help him capture each magical moment!

After work last week, the couple strolled to the park, which is nearby Daniel’s office.  They admired the reflected view of the Chicago skyline in the “Bean” statue, before Daniel dropped down to one knee and presented her with a gorgeous ring.  Once she had said yes, he surprised her once more by letting her know that one of our sneaky snappers had captured every gorgeous moment!

The happily engaged couple then wandered into a nearby park for an engagement shoot.  Trellises and fields of lavender, contrasted against Chicago‘s modern skyline, provided a romantic backdrop.  The two kissed and embraced, celebrating their engagement while our photographer took photos to document the magic.

The two stopped for an inconspicuous stroll through Chicago’s Washington Square Park to take in the gorgeous, late spring scenery and the last rays of sun as it set over the skyline.  The pair stopped at a fountain, and before Charley knew it, Adam had dropped to one knee.

Bringing her hands to her face in joy and surprise, Charley watched as Adam reached into his pocket and presented her with an engagement ring. She said, “Yes!”

Smiling, the two kissed and embraced– and that’s when Adam revealed that he had worked with our team at Paparazzi Proposals to make sure that a hidden photographer captured each stunning moment!  After both of them were in on the secret, they continued on a stunning shoot around the park to commemorate the incredible occasion.

Backlit by the setting sun and their newly engaged glow, the couple left hand-in-hand to continue on to restaurant that Adam had made reservations at– their dinner date now a celebration of their engagement!

Paparazzi Proposals has shot many  proposals in Chicago, proving that the city isn’t just windy, it’s also romantic!

Or take note from Corey and Erin’s Kinzie Street Bridge proposal.  These two lovebirds got engaged at a stunning outlook point that happened to be not only a local landmark, but a landmark for their relationship as well.

Views make for memorable romantic moments, which is why the Sears Tower is always an incredible place for a Chicago proposal.  Check out Ben and Jess’s stunning sky deck proposal for inspiration.

But she wasn’t expecting that the getaway would end in a stunning Central Park proposal!

Working with Paparazzi Proposals, Bryan planned everything to be absolutely perfect.  After the couple spent a few days exploring all that New York has to offer, he surprised Becca with a carriage ride.  They took in the gorgeous scenery as the carriage rolled along, finally stopping to admire the iconic Bethesda Fountain.  As Becca took in the amazing views, Bryan dropped to one knee inside the carriage!  When she turned around, he presented her with a sparkling ring!  And Paparazzi Proposals captured each stunning moment with surprise engagement photography.

After she said yes, the pair wandered the scenic park for an engagement shoot, pausing on pathways and under footbridges for incredible photos that documented their special moment.

You want to make your engagement special, but with so many beautiful memories that the two of you have already shared, it is hard to decide on which part of your relationship you want to emphasize with your marriage proposal.

Fortunately, New York offers countless opportunities for amazing surprise proposals– especially in the warmer months.  Regardless of whether you call the Big Apple home, or the two of you are just stopping through for the adventure of a lifetime, these three summer proposal ideas from Paparazzi Proposals are just as photo-ready as they are romantic.

• Do the two of you like the outdoors?  The boundless romance of Central Park in springtime may be the place for you to pop the question.  Let us help you surprise your special someone with a stroll or carriage ride through the park ending in a charming catered picnic from Perfect Picnic NYC, complete with a gingham blanket, a dozen red roses, a bottle of champagne and charcuterie.  Then, make that moment last a lifetime by proposing!  Take some notes: Chris pulled off a similar plan when proposing to Jenna, and it was stunning!

• With the longer summer days making for gorgeous sunsets, a rooftop proposal is the perfect way to wow your special someone.  Whether it’s at one of New York’s striking hotels like the Hotel East Houston, or just a private moment on the roof of your home, this proposal idea is one that is sure to impress.  Drop to one knee and ask your special someone for their hand in marriage with sweeping views of the bustling city far below.  See how Colin and Irene chose the rooftop of their own apartment for this stunning engagement. 

• Make the hustle and bustle of Times Square slow to a stop for a moment by proposing here!  Whether you want to rent out the Sony jumbotron to broadcast your love, or keep it ground-level with a question between the two of you, this bustling hub of Manhattan can be an extremely romantic place to propose– and Paparazzi Proposals can help you coordinate each stunning moment.  Check out David’s recent Times Square engagement for inspiration.

On a bright and sunny spring day, Styse took his special someone for a walk through the park.  The walk ended when the couple came across a picnic blanket, on which rested a dozen crimson roses.  As she took in the gorgeous surprise, a guitarist began to play for the two of them—and the romance was palpable!

After pulling a single rose from the bouquet and handing it to her, Styse dropped to one knee and surprised her once more—this time, with a stunning ring!

Little did his fiancée know, Styse had contacted Paparazzi Proposals to help him plan and capture the magic of the moment, and once she had said yes, our sneaky snapper introduced himself and they continued with their shoot!

The two meandered along San Francisco’s picturesque shore for some playful engagement photos.  With the Golden Gate Bridge majestically gracing the background, the happy couple spread the blanket out on the beach and took in the sights while our photographer documented each amazing moment.
