How Did You Guys Meet?

Maeve and I first met just after finishing our third year at the University of Georgia. Almost everyone had already left town for summer, but a mutual friend convinced each of us to stay and go out one night so we could be introduced. We met out on the town and spent the rest of the night talking over drinks and pizza. Soon after, we parted ways to return home for the summer, and as Maeve likes to point out, I never called her. However, things quickly picked back up when we returned in the fall, and we formally went on our first date.

The happy couple posed for a few great portrait shots.  Matt opted for the Proposal Photography Package to capture each moment of their engagement. View their full proposal slideshow for more stunning photographs.

What First Attracted You To The Other?

I was instantly attracted to Maeve’s intelligence and drive, but was equally struck by how down to earth and engaging she was.

I thought Matt looked adorable in his glasses, and was impressed by his mature demeanor. The passion and drive with which he approached life attracted me even more.

Why Did You Choose This Location To Proposal?

DC has always been a special place to both Maeve and I; so I knew I wanted to do it in town. I knew Meridian Hill Park would be beautiful and provide some privacy- both things I wanted for our engagement. We actually do go on picnics from time to time, so I knew using it as a cover wouldn’t arouse any suspicion!

How They Met:

Patrick and Gabriella met while both attending the University of Rhode Island. With a large group of mutual friends in common, the two clicked from the start and quickly realized how much they shared in common.

How They Knew They Had Met “The One”

Gabriella first realized Patrick was the one when once they began talking about the future and what each wanted. Their wants, hopes and dreams, however far-fetched or silly, were almost identical. She also loved how much fun they would have on the simplest of dates. As he stood by and supporting her during her most vulnerable times, it only strengthened the feeling that she had found the man she was destined to be with!

Patrick’s revelation came after the first year they started dating. He admitted, that before they met he seemed to lack motivation and direction in his life. However, as their relationship progressed and started to blossom, he suddenly found himself working harder than he ever has. The more he did so, the more Gabriella supported and pushed him. When he realized she was just as caring and supportive when he would fall, he knew this was the woman he wished to spend the rest of his life with.

Why Did You Choose This Location To Propose?

We chose New York because it has always been an important place to both of us. We visit often, and have always talked about how much we would love to someday live here. As it turns out, we both had privately dreamt about someday being a part of this city before we even met! The Brooklyn Heights Promenade was a perfect spot to propose as it provides a stunning view of the city, a place close to both of our hearts. Getting engaged somewhere so special to both of us really felt right.

So cute! Check out the couple’s full proposal slideshow, here.

For Andrew, it was after his mom passed. Denikka was there for him every step of the way, comforting him and supporting him. For Denikka, it was when they first parted ways heading off to college. As her heart ached to be away from his side, she knew she had found “the one.”

Their love story was a classic one, having been high school sweethearts. Their personalities were a perfect match. Both very outgoing and outspoken, they just so happened to be voted “Mr. and Mrs. Witty” by their high school class. So years later, when Andrew began planning his proposal, he wanted to be sure it was as special as their relationship.

When poor weather caused his original plan of proposing on a helicopter ride to fall through, he quickly came up with another romantic proposal idea. So with the help of our friends at Gondola Adventures, he set up a relaxing private gondola ride. So as they calmly glided along the canal, Andrew reached in his pocket and pulled out an amazing ring from Zales, and asked Denikka if she would spend the rest of her life with him.

With our paparazzi-style photographer discreetly positioned nearby, we were able to catch every second of this magical moment.

So Shawn thought long and hard about how to make his proposal creative and something that Sanna would not soon forget.

Knowing Sanna loved going to the aquarium, a place she knew he wasn’t necessarily crazy about, Shawn knew this would make for the perfect setting in which to completely surprise her with his proposal.

Choosing somewhere that has special meaning to your partner is a surefire way to make the moment you pop the question both romantic and memorable.

As he trudged along in the aquarium, Sanna definitely had NO idea of what was about to come! Before we show you their enchanting engagement moment at Chicago’s iconic Shedd Aquarium, here’s a bit of their love story…

They were first introduced by Shawn’s cousin, who just so happens to also be Sanna’s best friend, on Facebook. Now that’s what we call modern romance! From that moment on, Shawn ardently pursued Sanna, and their Facebook flirting slowly shifted to texting and talking on the phone. A month later, they went on their first date. Shawn was instantly smitten with how beautiful and charming she was. Sunna loved how smart and funny he was. The rest, as they say, is history!

After several months of dating, Sanna privately thought she had finally found “the one.” Meanwhile, Shawn had already bought the domain for their wedding website and began engagement ring shopping!

Sanna’s love of the aquarium wasn’t Shawn’s only reason for picking it as the place where he’d pop the question. He also knew it had an amazing view of downtown Chicago, which would make for the perfect backdrop for his proposal photographs, secretly taken by Paparazzi Proposals! Our sneaky snapper was perfectly positioned to capture the seconds before, during and after his romantic proposal. Paparazzi Proposals surprise proposal photography is the perfect creative proposal idea, as it provides you with genuine photos of the moment you get engaged to share with family and friends and cherish for a lifetime. Check out all of the pictures from their special day, here.

A mutual friend introduced them, and they became good friends over the course of the next year. Spencer, who says he is often reluctant to trust people, felt instantly at ease with Mackenzie, and Mackenzie admired the time and effort Spencer put into building their friendship.

In January of 2014, Mackenzie returned to college in another state, but the two kept in touch. Spencer soon came to visit, and by the end of the trip they both agreed that their relationship had grown from a solid friendship into a true romance.

Love was stronger than distance–1300 miles, to be exact– and the two continued to date over the next year. Their relationship blossomed, and they fell deeply in love.

Spencer, who had stuck to an organized plan for his life up until this point, began to notice a shift in his outlook.

“I was willing to forget about my plans, because I would rather have her than continue my plans without her,” he said.

Mackenzie began to consider the possibility of quitting school and moving back to Texas in order to be together, because she knew she wouldn’t be happy without him in her life.

The two discussed marriage and a future together. Mackenzie knew that Spencer would be proposing soon, but he wanted to make sure the experience surprised her with how romantic and thoughtful it was.

After reviewing several Dallas proposal ideas, Spencer felt a romantic gondola ride would make for the perfect proposal.

With some help from our friends at Gondola Adventures, he was able to transform Dallas into Venice for their big moment.  He kept it a secret because he wanted it to be a special event that he and Mackenzie could share and remember forever.

That day, Mackenzie said yes to a lifetime of love, friendship and romance when Spencer presented her with a beautiful ring from Kay Jewelers in Fort Worth. Check out all of the photographs from their magical afternoon, here!

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.

Timothy had known he wanted to marry Hanah for some time. However, he wanted to make sure would have no idea when it would be and it would be done in a way she would never forget. The romantic in him quickly took over…

He meticulously planned a fun night out in the city including dinner and tickets to see The Nutcracker, followed by a private horse and carriage ride which would secretly be awaiting them afterwards.

But he didn’t stop there. He also contacted Paparazzi Proposals for our surprise proposal photography services! Posing as a photographer for the horse and carriage company, Hanah thought it was exciting they were about to be featured as the couple for a new marketing campaign. Sure we were there to photograph the couple, but for a much bigger and better reason! Entering Central Park, the driver pulled up to the iconic Bow Bridge. As the two stepped out onto the bridge to soak in the gorgeous glow of the city lights sparkling above the tree tops, Timothy made his move! Down on bended knee, he asked Hanah if she would spend the rest of their lives together. Looking at these pictures, there is no need to tell you she said yes!

The jig was up! Hanah now realized SHE was the reason we were there.

It was just a matter of where and when. He wanted everything to be perfect. The setting had to be just right, the moments leading up to it romantic. But that wasn’t enough. He also wanted to capture all of it, providing them with a way to chronicle this amazing moment in their relationship.

That’s where Paparazzi Proposals came in. With our unique surprise proposal photography, we were able to secretly photograph all of the moments leading up to, during and after his proposal, giving them genuine photos of the actual moment he dropped to a knee and proposed. He set up a private tour and tasting at Orfile Vineyards and Winery, which would provide a stunning backdrop for the moment they would become an engaged couple.

As they quietly sat sipping on wine and enjoying their unbelievably beautiful surroundings sitting amongst the vineyards, Paul made his move. As he professed how much she meant to him and how much he loved her, he dropped to a knee and asked “will you marry me.” Shocked and elated Harriet quickly said “yes!” Our paparazzi-style photographer, who had been discreetly snapping shots of the couple from afar, now popped out, and the two posed for some amazingly beautiful newly-engaged couple portraits. Take a look at all of the pictures from this magical moment here.

Harriet was thrilled Paul had hired Paparazzi Proposals to capture this incredible moment. They would now be able to let their family and friends in on this romantic and monumental event in their relationship, and cherish these mementos for a long time, even sharing with their children some day.
