Dragan surprised his girlfriend, Kate, with not only a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but with our photographer, who was posing to be working for the helicopter company. He was, in fact, waiting to capture Dragan’s proposal!

“We originally met when she was working for an insurance agency and I was her client. After two years, she quit the job and disappeared for almost a year. One day, we ran into each other at a club and that’s when we started dating. My first initial attraction were her big eyes and smile. After we started dating, I realized that she is really cool, cute, pretty, open minded, mature, funny and I can just keep going on and on with so many words to describe her. After 4-5 months of dating, I knew that we were meant to be together. I thought proposing during a helicopter tour would be a great and unique way to propose, and it would be something to remember and to talk about for long time.”

Of course, after Dragan’s proposal, Kate said “YES!”

How They Met

Richard and his fiancée met online. After exchanging messages for a while, they switched to texting and shortly after met up in person. Though they originally only planned on spending one day together, they immediately hit it off and ended up spending the next two days together.

Richard was drawn in by her sense of humor. It’s one of the things that made him fall in love with her, and to this day, they routinely laugh until tears together.

How They Knew

Richard knew she was the one on their third date, a mere two days after their first.   They went to dinner and dancing at a nightclub in Vegas, where they had a whole table to themselves.  They shared conversation and laughter the whole night, and even had hypothetical discussions about what they’d name their future kids. Their connection was undeniable and just grew from there!

Captured with Miami Proposal Photography

Richard chose to propose at the Miami Beach Edition for the special memories they both shared there.   They had previously stayed there, and even discussed how beautiful it would be fore a wedding, so he knew it was the perfect place to pop the question! Working with the hotel’s VIP host and with Paparazzi Proposals, he planned the perfect surprise engagement at a secluded spot on the beach!

He placed the sparkling engagement ring on her finger, and they popped a bottle of bubbly for a toast, before our photographer introduced himself and joined them for an incredible engagement session on the beach!

How They Met:

Brian and Nicole met during their freshman year of college at Kent State University.  Introduced by mutual friends, they bonded after realizing that they shared a mutual connection: Brian’s sister was a teacher at Nicole’s high school. 

They were instantly drawn to each other.  Nicole immediately noticed his humor, intelligence and caring nature.  She felt instantly at ease with Brian in a way she had never felt before with anyone else.

Brian was equally entranced by Nicole’s vibrant personality, and the pair started an incredible friendship that slowly blossomed into an amazing romance.

How They Knew

Brian chose our Proposal Photography Package in Miami.

After they started dating and had been together for a few months, they both knew that they had found The One.

“I knew after the ‘honeymoon stage,’ when I knew all of her flaws and she was still my favorite person in the world, and my best friend,” Brian gushed.

Nicole added, “Our personalities perfectly compliment each other and he is 100% my best friend.”

The Proposal

Nicole loves the beach, so Brian created a romantic vacation to Miami and planned on popping the question while they relaxed on sandy shores.

He reached out to Paparazzi Proposals to help him coordinate the perfect moment.  And, when the timing was just right, he dropped to one knee and presented Nicole with a stunning engagement ring from Blue Nile.

She could barely contain her joy as she said, “Yes!”
