Jeff’s Central Park after dark engagement to Tia was as romantic as a Midsummer Night’s Dream.  After dinner, Jeff had arranged for a horse and carriage to pick them up and bring them the Bethesda Fountain.  Here, a musician was waiting to serenade them with their favorite Disney songs!  At the crescendo of The Little Mermaid’s “Kiss the Girl,” Jeff dropped to one knee and asked Tia for her hand in marriage.

Jeff gushed about his experience:

“From start to finish, designing and planning to execution, Paparazzi Proposals worked with me one-on-one to ensure that not only my expectations were met, but also that my proposal was like a “dream come true,” and done so in a comfortable and professional manner! Every aspect and detail of my customized proposal package was well though t out and executed to perfection.  The photos prior, during and after I proposed are both beautiful and breathtaking!”

But as we know, every fairytale ending has a perfect beginning!

How They Met:

Back to where it all began! The highschool sweethearts at Jeff’s Senior prom. Photo provided by Jeff.

Jeff and Tia attended the same high school.  Jeff, a Varsity ice hockey player, was a year older than cheerleader Tia.  Though the pair had admired each other from afar, they were officially introduced through mutual friends.

Jeff thought Tia was stunning and a cute cheerleader, and Tia was impressed by the handsome upperclassman.  As they began to spend more time together, Jeff’s heart was totally won over by Tia’s intelligence and vibrant personality, and she was won over by his kindness and loving nature.

Jeff asked Tia to his Senior Prom, and the two have been falling in love more and more each day ever since.

How They Knew:

Tia and Jeff both knew early on that they had found The One.  They were happy being together, and wanted to take time to pursue their careers before they took they got engaged.

“We were just happy and content being a couple, being together and being in love!” Said Jeff, adding that he knew for years that he would propose, he was just waiting for it to be the perfect time for them both.

The Proposal:

Jeff took it back to the beginning by planning the proposal at the same location where they took a trip as a couple for the first time.

“We both love NYC and together we both share great memories of prior NYC trips,” he said.  “Every aspect and detail of my proposal to Tia was a reflection of not only prior trips we’ve taken to NYC together, but also reflections of our relationship past, present and as a whole,” he added.

The pair took a carriage ride on their first NYC trip, so he made sure their proposal featured one.  They also often shared dinners at Tavern On The Green, their go-to spot on former trips.  The couple loves taking trips to Disney World together, so he had a musician play a few of their favorite classic songs.

“And, I hope I am her prince she dreamed of her entire life,” he also revealed.

After they shared a romantic waltz beneath the stars, he dropped to one knee and popped the question before pointing out Paparazzi Proposals‘ sneaky photog, who had discreetly captured the whole thing!  Check out the package Jeff booked and then customized, here.

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.

Under the ruse of going to lunch for a family birthday the couple got all dressed up and headed to Central Park.

As they walked down the steps of Bethesda Fountain Minaz dropped to one knee and asked Taslim to marry him. Bethesda Fountain was an important place for the couple as it is Taslim’s favorite part of Central Park. Our discreet photographer was on hand to capture the moment on camera however the story does not end there.

After saying yes (YAY!), the couple strolled around Bethesda Fountain some more and Taslim was delighted to meet her nieces, who had been in on the plot from the beginning. The nieces were gleefully holding signs saying “She Said Yes!”.

As they all walked to the restaurant little did Taslim know that Minaz had more surprises planner. He had brought together both families for a lunch to surprise her and celebrate this amazing proposal.

You can view all these beautiful pictures here.

From our point of view, the level of thought and planning involved in getting two large families to congregate is what makes this surprise engagement all the more resonant, Minaz knew that Taslim would enjoy having her family involved in her proposal. We can only guess at the number of behind-the-scenes phonecalls and emails Minaz managed to get the whole thing planned and in secret!

Here at Paparazzi Proposals, stories like this make us nostalgic for all of the many proposals that have taken place with us in Central Park, from our very first Central Park engagement photo shoot, with David and Anna way back when in 2011 to the positively filmic snow-filled engagement photos of Mike and Ellyce earlier this year. Central Park delivers on romance, impact and wow factor!

If you agree and are thinking along similar lines, or perhaps want to propose at other iconic landmarks around the city, please get in touch. We’ll be thrilled to help!
