The first public botanical garden in America provides numerous spots to propose with perfect backdrops for every moment to be captured by our hidden proposal photographer. The iconic destination in Boston is the perfect location for a wedding proposal.

The blue bridge that crosses the lagoon is one of our most popular locations to propose in the city. With the blue iron and trees in the background, your proposal photography will have a timeless classic look to it.

If you’re looking for a bit more privacy when you propose, we love this little spot surrounded by trees that juts out into the lagoon. Our proposal photographer can even set up a blanket with roses and champagne for you as a surprise proposal picnic. 

The Public Garden can also be your last stop on a horse and carriage ride through the streets of Boston where our surprise proposal photographer will be waiting for you to capture your proposal. 

There are so many spots in the Public Garden that we can help you find the top spot to propose in Boston.

Plus, there’s tons of locations in the Public Garden for an engagement photo shoot!

Jessica arranged for us to set up a blanket with champagne and two glasses for their arrival. Raquel had no idea the surprises to come.

When her girlfriend least expected, Jessica got down on one knee! To melt our hearts even more, the couple shared with us their romantic love story and how they ended up together.

“We met a little over two years ago when we matched on Tinder. Swiping right was the best decision I could have made.

Scott reached out to us to surprise his girlfriend with a picture-perfect engagement. We coordinated for them to take a stroll along the park, but she was unaware of the real reason. Scott waited for them to cross the bridge before turning her around to get down on one knee.

Adding to the surprise was our sneaky photographer, who we arranged to be discreetly capturing every moment. Scott’s girlfriend was shocked to see a diamond ring, and even more surprised that the whole moment was captured in pictures that will last a lifetime.

To end their special day, our photographer took them around the area for an impromptu portrait session.

Javier and Catalina met on October 27th, 2012 at a Halloween party in Miami. He was dressed up as Ironman, and she was “supposed to” be dressed up as a pirate. Until this day, she has his number saved in her cellphone as “Javi Ironman,” but added kiss emoticons once they started dating.

From their first few conversations, Javier felt like he already knew her. She was sweet and genuine, and when discovering she worked with kids who have special needs, he knew this was something special.

Javier purchased this beautiful ring from Seybold Jewelry Building in Miami, Fl.

For Javier, it was the everyday moments, like seeing her interact with his family, her family and friends, etc, when he started looking at her and realizing that she is the person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. “There is a moment in every man’s life when you just know. It is not like the movies where something dramatic happens and the guy realizes she is the one.”

“Catalina is currently finishing her Masters program in Boston and I picked Boston Public Garden because we always go there every time I am in town and it is one of our favorite parts in the city. I thought it will be great to do it at such a beautiful place and also to be able to go back to the bridge later on in our lives and remember where I asked her to marry me.”

From their first lunch date, they were both smitten with each other.  The moment Sarah walked into the restaurant they met at, Chase was taken aback by her classic beauty, immaculately coordinated ensemble and magnetic personality.  Sarah was immediately attracted to Chase’s dapper appearance from hair (yes, hair) to his charm and warm smile.  After only a few minutes, they both only wanted more and more.

For this newly-engaged couple, fairytales are more than just made-up love stories. And a few months into the relationship, Chase had the opportunity to meet Bella, Sarah’s amazing little six-year old daughter.  Chase’s goofy antics and mutual love for pizza quickly won Bella over and it became obvious that something special was happening.

Sarah and Chase’s love affair continued to grow.  From Vegas, to Chicago, to Florida, to South Dakota, to the family cabin, to adventures throughout the Twin Cities, the two continued to grow, to learn and as he puts it, had the time of their lives.

For weeks, Chase worked with Paparazzi Proposals and the management at Prezza Restaurant in coordinating the perfect Boston proposal. And though, this might be the end to the engagement story, the real love story is just beginning. No evil step-mother required.

The endless charm of this historic city makes it the perfect place to propose! It is home to the historic Freedom Trail footpath, Paul Revere’s house, Faneuil Hall Market and the Union Oyster house— the oldest operating restaurant in the country.
Perhaps more important to Bostonites, however, is that it is also home to the Red Sox, historic Fenway Park, and the birthplace of the delicious Dunkin Donuts, located five steps in any direction from where you happen to plan your marriage proposal.
Besides its spirit and pride, Boston also boasts stunning scenery– from its red brick and cobble-stoned streets, to its townhouses, to the meandering Esplanade river pathway where runners and bikers turn out year-round to enjoy the scenery on the banks of the Charles. The Boston Common, easily accessible from the Esplanade, provides stunning views of the city’s historic center and hosts outdoor events during the summer months, offering countless creative proposal ideas.
And if the two of you love the ocean, take to the sea for your marriage proposal! With gorgeous Harbor Islands and nearby the picturesque Cape, a romantic sunset sail provides yet another fantastic option.

Of course, all the memories from your big day can’t speak for themselves.  Having a surprise engagement photographer nearby to discreetly capture that “Yes!” moment ensures that you’ll be able to enjoy your proposal in privacy, and share the event with family and friends after the fact.

We’ve put together a list of marriage proposal locations that are perfect for Boston surprise engagement photography:

The North End Engagement

The quaint North End neighborhood is historic Boston at its finest.  Take your special someone on a walk to the famous Mike’s Pastry for a casual vibe. Or, class it up with a complete dinner at one of the area’s many restaurants, like Bricco.  Afterwards, meander through the cobblestoned streets until you find the picture perfect spot to pop the question. Then head to one of the wine bars nearby for a bite and a celebratory post.  Salute!

Top of the Hub Proposal

Nothing offers spectacular 360-degree views and amazing dining quite like this luxury restaurant on the top floor of the Prudential Center.  Every Boston resident dreams of reservations at this coveted spot, as much for the views as for the amazing food.  Located in downtown Boston, near the happening shopping area Newbury Street, Top of the Hub delivers a star-quality experience.  Pop the question like a celeb by having paparazzi-style surprise engagement photography to capture the whole thing.  Afterwards, walk down Newbury Street for an incredible portrait session.

The Esplanade Engagement

The meandering pathway offers a spectacular panoramic view perfect for a sunset proposal.  A slice of the countryside with city views, the Esplanade is a picturesque place to pop the question.  Propose on the Boston side of the Charles to capture the waterways, trees and lawns.  Or propose on the Cambridge side for views of Downtown Boston in the background.  Perhaps your honey went to Harvard, and you’re a B.U. grad, so compromise with a symbolic proposal on the Longfellow or West Boston Bridge.  And if the two of you are fans of Venice, transform the Charles into Italy for the night with a romantic Gondola Ride.

The Boston Gardens Proposal

The historic center of Boston has countless picture-perfect locations great for creative proposal ideas.  Take a walk or a horse and carriage ride through the park, stopping to pop the question on the delicate blue footbridge in the Boston Gardens. Regardless of the time of year, this location offers stunning views and a truly romantic proposal moment.  Class it up by having a picnic blanket, a dozen roses, and a bottle of champagne waiting at a nearby for the two of you to enjoy before, during, or after you drop to one knee.

Acorn Street in Beacon Hill Proposal

Located in the posh and historic Beacon Hill neighborhood, “the most photographed street in Boston” is the perfect place to pop the question and a natural fit for your surprise engagement photography shoot.  One block of immaculately maintained, untouched colonial houses set on a cobblestoned incline makes for an incredible backdrop for your romantic proposal.

Historic Pub Proposal

Boston is all about craft beer.  Take a private tour of the Sam Adams or Harpoon Breweries, or head to Doyle’s, the oldest bar in Boston, for an authentic proposal moment or impromptu engagement party with friends and family.  Whether you’re visiting from out of town, or revisiting one of your favorite haunts, this original proposal idea is truly one of a kind.

Fenway Park Engagement

You can’t get more Boston than Fenway.  While it might not be located downtown, the over 100-year-old baseball park is undoubtedly the heart of the city.  If the two of you are native Bostonians, or just huge Red Sox fans, this is definitely the proposal place for you.  Propose right before you sing “Sweet Caroline,” then join friends and family afterwards at the Right Field Roof Deck for an impromptu engagement party.
