You’ve chosen to have your big proposal moment captured with surprise engagement photography. But now you have another important decision to make.  What is going to be the best place for your engagement photos?  The location has to mean something to the two of you while still acting as the perfect backdrop for the photos that will capture the big day.

Luckily, as proposal experts, we’ve got some answers for you.

A Walk In the Park

The hard part was finding The One.  Your proposal should be a walk in the park— literally!

Juan opted for our Perfect Picnic package in his gorgeous proposal.

Central Park is the absolutely perfect place to propose year round.  In the spring and summer, the greenery lends a romantic atmosphere to your proposal.  The reds, oranges and yellows of autumn make a stunning backdrop.  And snow transforms the whole park into a winter wonderland in the colder months.  Make it all the more idyllic with a park proposal, like Juan’s or with a fairytale horse and carriage ride!

Landmark Moments

NYC is full of landmarks.  Make your memories last by choosing something iconic.

Jason, seen here, opted for the Times Square Proposal Package for his recent NYC engagement.

This is the perfect proposal idea for someone who may be visiting from out of town, and wants to capture the spirit of their adventure along with their proposal!  Your love story is iconic, so why shouldn’t your surprise engagement be too?  Opt for a stunning Statue of Liberty private boat cruise to include romance, privacy and a backdrop to remember!  Or, follow Jason’s lead and rent out the Times Square big screen to broadcast a custom proposal message, making the bustling city center all yours for a few magic moments.

Best Burroughs

If the two of you are from New York, personalize your proposal by making it location-specific.

James booked our classic proposal photography package for his romantic NYC proposal.

Whether it’s the place where you first met, the restaurant where you had your first date, or your neighborhood, having it in your engagement photos is an important testament to your love.  That’s what James did in his recent Lower East Side proposal, taking his special someone back to where it all began and proposing on the very crosswalk where the two shared their first kiss.  So romantic!

Rooftop Romance

Like a view?  NYC has countless places to propose with sweeping views of Manhattan below.  

David opted for our proposal photography package with an awesome engagement photography session afterwards to make sure he captured all of the magic!

This is perfect for couples who are from NYC, or pairs who want to see it all as they pop the question.  It’s a great way to include the entirety of NYC in your stunning engagement photos!  That’s what David did in his recent Top of the Rock Proposal to Jill.  The pair was visiting from out of town and he wanted to make their engagement even more of an occasion to remember.

After nearly seven years together, Michael was ready to propose and wanted to make the moment perfect.  And as the sun set out over the city, with sweeping views from the roof deck at Hotel East Houston—it was.

Every fairytale ending has a beginning, and for this happy couple, it was during the first week of class at Southwestern College in Winfield, Kansas back in 2006.

Caitlin and Michael had two classes together that fall.  As she walked into the room, they locked eyes.  He immediately noticed her stunning smile.  She chose desks next to him in both classes and tried to strike up conversation.  She was drawn in by his compassionate way with others and wanted to get to know him better, but Michael was quiet and didn’t chat very much, so after a few weeks, she changed seats.

That could have been the end of their story, but a year and a half later, in the spring of 2008, they reconnected.  This time, the chemistry was undeniable, and they began the start of a beautiful relationship.

Over the years, Michael’s old injuries from football began to cause him pain.  Caitlin willingly took care of him through it all, never leaving his side.  That was when Michael knew she was The One.

And when Michael met Caitlin’s whole family and immediately fit in, she knew that he was the person she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.

The couple loves traveling together, so Michael felt that a trip to New York City would provide the perfect opportunity to pop the question.  He also knew that Caitlin loved the idea of a rooftop wedding, and decided that a skyline engagement setting would be a great start to their journey to the altar.  He knew taking his small town girl to the big city to propose was going to be a memorable, cherished moment and hired Paparazzi Proposals to capture their proposal with surprise engagement photography.

Now, the couple has photos to document each joyful moment of their beautiful marriage proposal!  View all of their stunning pictures, 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.

See all of the photos from the couple’s shoot, here.

They met through a mutual friend in college. Attending the same gym as one another, Andre eventually summoned the courage to ask for her number. A friendship quickly developed and they began dating soon afterwards.  Once he was ready to propose, he hired Paparazzi Proposals to help plan and secretly provide proposal photography!

Here’s how it worked. We helped Andre plan a romantic stroll on the Brooklyn Bridge and showed home a beautifully picturesque spot to provide a gorgeous backdrop for him to propose in front of. We also had a paparazzi-style photographer with a telephoto lens secretly snapping pictures as strolled across the bridge. When Andre got down on his knee to propose, we captured every second of actual moment they got engaged, providing genuine photographs of this beautiful once-in-a-lifetime event! Click to see their entire gallery of pictures from their big day.

Your proposal can never be recreated or duplicated. With Paparazzi Proposals hidden proposal photography, you can have genuine photographs of this amazing moment to cherish for a lifetime and share with family, friends and loved ones. Paparazzi Proposals can remain hidden after you propose, giving you the opportunity to surprise your fiancee with an album of beautiful pictures of your proposal as a birthday, wedding or anniversary present. We can also make our presence known after she says yes and do an engagement portrait shoot.  There are many ways we can help you plan and capture your proposal.
