Cassie had no idea our hidden proposal photographer was there the whole time nor that Tyler and she would head off on an engagement photo session right after.

Afterwards, our photographer took photos of the newly engaged couple at the iconic Central Park bridge as well as around the rest of the park.

Look at how gorgeous her ring is too!

Jeff reached out to us to plan a romantic picnic engagement in Central Park.

While enjoying a romantic stroll in the park with his partner, they stumbled upon our classic picnic, complete with blanket, a bottle of chilled Prosecco, charcuterie and cheese platter. His partner was completely surprised and wondered how it all got setup. Little did she know, it was only the beginning of their special day.

As his partner admired the picnic, Jeff took out one more surprise from his pocket: a diamond ring! She turned around to find him down on one knee, asking the question that she has been waiting for: Will you marry me?

Of course, she said YES! Our sneaky photographer was at a distance capturing every moment with the stunning Bow Bridge in the background.

He revealed himself after for the last surprise: an impromptu portrait session around the park.

It was a day that neither of them will every forget.

With the help of Perfect Picnic, our photographer captured a proposal neither of them will ever forget.

Summer is the picture-perfect time for Central Park picnic proposals, so the day could not have been more magical for the newly-engaged couple.

Even more romantic, they shared with us their love story, below.

How and when did you guys meet?

“The old fashioned way… the internet on February 23, 2019. Our first date was in February at Gloria’s in Addison, TX.

What was the first thing that attracted you to one another?

“Lisa’s eyes & Randy’s eyes of course, but really – we started with a handful of text messages that lead into a conversation, lasting more than 3 hours. It went from very personal and deep, to laughter about a gamut of things. We’ve continued to be able to talk about all things all the time – it’s intimate and comforting.”

When did you know that they were the one?

“Lisa knew on Day 28 (3/22/19) & Randy on Day 7 (3/1/19). We were engaged on day 118 – When you know you know.”

Why did you choose to propose where you did?
“The trip to NYC was initially a surprise concert for Lisa; but Central Park had the busyness and quiet space that is our lives. I knew I want to propose in NYC. I thought rooftop, helicopter, at a restaurant, Time Square ,in front of Tiffany’s at the Brooklyn Bridge but all of those where about me. Central Park was about her we love to walk and talk love being outdoors. It provided the prefect spot to propose to the prefect woman. Where it was just about us yet lots of things happening around us.”

Where did you purchase the ring?

There are so many amazing Central Park proposal locations, but Jake needed one that would match the route they were taking for their dinner reservations.

Little did his girlfriend expect that dinner would result as the celebration for their engagement!

En route to dinner, Jake used all the amazing scenery as the beautiful backdrop for the moment that he got down on one knee.

Overwhelmed, his girlfriend said “YES!” But the surprise did not end there.

After all the celebration, he pointed out our sneaky photographer, who was hidden within the bushes secretly capturing every moment.

The stunning (and newly-engaged!) couple posed for an impromptu portrait session afterwards, making for a day neither of them will ever forget.

Matthew and Michelle met in the summer of 2007 through a mutual friend, who had an epiphany one day and thought that they would make a great couple. They talked a little before actually meeting in person, and eventually met face-to-face outside of a pizza place one afternoon before Matt headed into the city that evening to see a band. “We ended up talking for so long that Matt missed the train to the city, but he obviously didn’t mind.”

Michelle was drawn to Matthew’s confidence and smile. “He has the most amazing smile that you can’t help but to be filled with warmth and happiness when you see it. He can light up a whole room and my whole heart just by himself and giving a big grin!” Michelle has always wanted to have a picnic at Central Park, but Matthew always partially blew it off, partly because he’s not the best organizer, and partly because he wanted to save it for a special day. Also, in high school and college he played and sang in bands, but never really sang to Michelle. She always would ask him to sing for her, but he never would out of embarrassment. The proposal was the perfect opportunity to give her both things she’s been asking for, for so long (and a diamond ring).

We have partnerships across the United States, because have I mentioned- we’re in over 26 cities. One of our favorite partners resides here locally in New York and they’re committed to one thing, perfect picnics. With their help, we’ve been able to capture some amazing picnic proposals, and with the vast amount of beautiful spots in New York, a picnic proposal might be just what you need.

When it comes to proposals, you need an expert. And that’s why when it comes to a picnic proposal in New York, we’re working with picnic experts, Perfect Picnic. We don’t work alone and neither should you. To get the picnic started, we’ve put together some of our favorite locations in New York to indulge in a delicious picnic, but if a picnic proposal isn’t your thing- not to worry. We have a range of packages for you to choose from!

1. Central Park Picnic

The most popular and well-known park in New York (and most visited urban park in the United States), Central Park is an ideal hotspot for a proposal. From Sheep Meadow to Bow Bridge, despite the tourism it attracts, the massive area and landscape offers multiple locations within the park for a more secluded and intimate picnic affair. And wherever you choose to propose in the park is where Perfect Picnic will deliver your picnic.

2. Rooftop Picnic

If nature isn’t your partner’s thing, a rooftop is a picture-perfect picnic idea. Enjoy a glass of champagne, savory treats, and the backdrop of the greatest city in the world. We’ll be sure to capture the moment you get down on one knee and pop out a diamond ring.

3. Washington Square Park Picnic

Enjoy the views of the famous Washington Square Arch & Fountain, while enjoying fresh meats, creamy chocolates, fine cheeses, and bubbly champagne (all offered by Perfect Picnic). Washington Square is perfect for those seeking a smaller park or somewhere closer to downtown. There are also street performers, musicians, and all sorts of other entertaining acts usually happening year-round (well, except the cold winter). Why not arrange for one of the “street musicians” to serenade your big moment? It’ll be like a movie, except better because it’s real.

4. Gondola Picnic

Who says a picnic has to be on land? A proposal has not limits and neither should your picnic. Choose from one of the packages Perfect Picnic has to offer and take it on-board with you for a romantic (and yummy) gondola ride. While your gondolier cruises you through the water, pour some champagne and toast your new fiancée.

5. Hotel Picnic

If the weather isn’t cooperating, (thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows) take your picnic proposal inside. Whether you want to make a getaway with it by booking a suite or doing it in your own home, this will give your proposal more privacy and the freedom to decorate the space romantically. The outdoors isn’t for everyone, but romanticize your lunch by having it styled like a picnic.

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.

That’s why he contacted Paparazzi Proposals!

Jess loves the outdoors and the charm of Central Park.  With both of them having busy schedules, Adam knew a park proposal provided the best option for a special moment. With a quaint spread from Perfect Picnic NYC, Adam knelt down on one knee and presented his Jess with a stunning ring from Haas Designs— and she said yes!  After their big moment, the couple took a romantic stroll around the park to shoot engagement photos before meeting up with friends and family at a nearby Times Square restaurant.

But before the story ended with a perfect proposal, it started somewhere!

Back in 2010, Adam was in his first year of dental school at the University of Pennsylvania.

Jess was discussing a research project in one of Adam’s classes.  As soon as he saw her, he knew she was The One.

His friends thought he was crazy for knowing so early on that he wanted to marry Jess, but the connection he felt with her was undeniable, and the two have been inseparable ever since.

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 don’t just explain to people how magical it was…show them! You can check out their heartwarming proposal here.
