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.

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?

Though it’s the love between two people that is most important, we can’t help but obsess over the magic of a romantic and creative proposal. As the nation’s leading surprise engagement photography company, we’ve planned and photographed over 3,000 engagement proposals and have done hundreds alone in New York. All the proposals we’ve done are individually unique, as each love is unique, however, we’ve listed our top five picture-perfect ideas.

Feel free to browse for more ideas from our past proposals. Here are some of our personal favorites.

1. Perfect Picnic Proposal

One of our favorite partnerships in New York is with Perfect Picnic, and with their help we have captured some amazing picnic proposals all throughout the city. Take your partner on a romantic stroll in your favorite outdoor spot and magically stumble on a beautifully laid out delicious picnic. It’ll be filled with cheeses, meats, treats and champagne (to toast the moment they say “yes”).  It adds a timelessly romantic touch to any proposal.

2. Rooftop Proposal

What is New York without all the breath-taking rooftops?  The New York skyline is not only an amazing backdrop to your proposal, but will make for incredible photography. One of our most recent proposals took place at Ink48’s Heaven Over Hell penthouse, and luxurious, breath-taking, and unforgettable would be the three words to describe using this venue for your proposal.

3. Helicopter Proposal

And speaking of the New York skyline, if a rooftop isn’t high enough- how about flying over it? A helicopter ride is one of the most thrilling and exciting proposal ideas and as long as your partner isn’t afraid of heights, it’ll be an unforgettable experience.

4. Boat Proposal

The city is great, but don’t be afraid to get away from it slightly for your proposal. Another wonderful proposal idea is a romantic boat ride. It’s a great opportunity to get away from the motion of the city and have the calming waters serenade the moment you get down on one knee. And the backdrop will still be the stunning city skyline.

5. Central Park Proposal

An obvious choice but a classic, Central Park has so many different amazing locations for a surprise proposal. Expanding almost 2 miles, the park has so many naturally beautiful (specially in spring and summer months) backdrops, whether you want water, greenery or even a castle in the background. We’ve shot tons of proposals here and each one is different. This is the most popular attraction (despite Times Square) in New York for a reason.
