After 3 months of rehab, Central Park’s iconic Bow Bridge is now reopened to the public, according to this article by DNA info.  The bridge’s intricate details have been repainted and it’s gotten a new, gorgeous wooden deck– just in time for the best marriage proposal months.

The park’s most highly photographed bridge has been the site of many Paparazzi Proposals, chosen for its romantic sentiment and picture-perfect setting.

So, to celebrate its reopening, we are offering $100 discount on our proposal photography package for any couple that books a proposal on the bridge or in a gondola from now until September 1st.  This includes a free consultation, proposal planning, surprise engagement photography and an engagement shoot for just $395.  And, three to four business days after your proposal, you are provided with 100+ high resolution, print-ready photos in an easily accessible online gallery for download and print.

Here are some of our favorite proposal moments featuring the bridge.

The weather and scenery of Central Park? Perfect. The surprise picnic from our friends at Perfect Picnic NYC? Splendid. Oh, and the ring? Absolutely flawless!

Chris hit a home run with this classic, romantic proposal. After taking a stroll through the park, they came upon a picnic blanket complete with flowers, food and champagne. As they sat down to enjoy themselves, Jenna had no idea this wasn’t the only surprise he had up his sleeve. As he began to tell her how much she meant to him, he got onto one knee, pulled out a gorgeous ring and proposed! After the shock wore off, she said “YES!”

However, those weren’t the only surprises. Chris had also contacted Paparazzi Proposals to arrange for our unique style of proposal photography to capture every second before, during and after the big moment. Little did she know that one of our paparazzi-style photographers was secretly snapping pictures as they strolled through the park and settled down to enjoy lunch. We were able to discreetly capture all of the magic of this amazing event in their relationship.  The joy and excitement of the moment you get engaged is priceless. They both now have genuine photographs of this occasion to share with their friends, family and loved ones. This event can not be duplicated or recreated.

So when it was time for him to propose, he knew it had to be equally as romantic. He contacted Paparazzi Proposals and the planning of his perfect surprise proposal began…

Once upon a time Lauren was simply just another regular customer at Enrico’s bagel store on Long Island. However, something about her caught his eye. After almost a year of slowly getting to know each other through pleasant small talk, he finally mustered up the courage to ask for her number. In the past, Lauren would never have given out her number in this way. But this time, something felt different and she made the leap of faith. 

Since that moment, not a day has passed in which they have not spoken. The fun they have when with one another was undeniable. Even the shortest amount of time spent apart felt like an eternity. Realizing this was the woman he was meant to marry, Enrico finally began getting ready to ask for her hand. However, he wanted to be sure he would propose in a way that would have special meaning to them both. Since New York City had been the setting for so many of the special times they shared with one another, it would make for the perfect place for him to propose. Paparazzi Proposals pointed out the iconic Bow Bridge, which would make for the perfect romantic backdrop for this amazing moment. Coordinating with Enrique, we were able to capture every second of this beautiful moment with our hidden proposal photography services.
