How They Met:

Ian opted for our Proposal Photography package, and added on a post-proposal portrait session.

The stars aligned to bring this couple together!  Ian was visiting New York City from Toronto with his brothers and cousins for the long 4th of July weekend.  The group decided to spend the night in style, getting a table at the Hudson Terrace night club and restaurant.

Standing atop a neighboring table was Natasha.

She glanced over and caught his gaze before she was asked to step down from the tabletop.

Once she was back on ground level, they pair ended up standing with their backs to one another and Ian could see that she was uncomfortable as she was jostled around in the busy crowd.  So, he moved to redirect the crowd to keep them from bumping into her.

Natasha noticed his act of kindness and turned around to thank him.  She was impressed his good looks and the small silver cross he wore around his neck— faith is important to both of them, and the necklace was an instant draw!

After their initial connection, they were encouraged by family and friends to continue chatting, and struck up an easy conversation that lasted the whole evening.

Their personalities, interests and values blended together seamlessly. 

Right away, Ian knew he had found someone special and within a few weeks of dating he felt that Natasha was The One, and as he got to know he better he became reassured that they were meant to be together, forever!

The Ring:

“The ring expert and manager, Mike, was amazing through the whole process!” Ian shared.  “I would recommend them to anyone looking for a personable and quality experience.”

The Proposal:

Ian took it back to where it all began by choosing the spot for their first date as the location of their marriage proposal! The scenic Pier A in Hoboken boasts stunning views of the Manhattan skyline–which also made it a perfect backdrop for some absolutely stunning surprise engagement photography.

Friends and family helped him coordinate getting Natasha to the proposal location while keeping the whole plan a secret!  And of course, Paparazzi Proposals helped him finalize the picture-perfect spot, and discreetly photographed Natasha’s reaction when he dropped to one knee!

“Having an exact location and the help of a professional company to guide me in the right direction made the day even more perfect!” Said Ian.  “I sincerely thank all those who supported me throughout the preparations and planning leading up to the happiest day of our lives; I couldn’t have done it without any of you!”

The High Line

The city is ever changing. What was once a White Castle might’ve turned into a building or what was once a building might’ve turned into a park. That’s what happened with The High Line. The High Line is park that is on top of buildings in the Meat Packing District part of Manhattan. During the 1930s, a train ran through there and delivered supplies. The project to develop this area began in 2002 and since then, this park has been a hit. It’s one of the best ideas the city came up with. What isn’t there to love about The High Line?
