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.

Little did Marimar know, Javier had reached out to Paparazzi Proposals to make sure that their entire engagement was captured to remember for years to come!  So while he dropped to one knee, our photographer caught Marimar’s reaction the very second she said, “Yes!”

Their Story:

Javier and Marimar met eight years ago and shared an instant connection.

But at the time, they were both dating other people.  It wasn’t until a full year later that both of them found themselves single and thinking about one another that Javier took the chance to contact Marimar and ask her out on a date at a nearby restaurant in Mexico City.

The chemistry was undeniable.

They had an amazing conversation that continued for hours, and when the restaurant closed, they headed to a nearby bench so that they could continue chatting with one another.

“It was like a strange force!” said Javier of their instant attraction.  Besides being drawn to each others’ good looks, they also related to each other on a deeper level and wanted to spend as much time together as possible.

Javier says he knew after one week of dating that he had found The One, and after five incredible years, he proposed!  The pair had always dreamed of visiting Central Park while traveling through NYC, so he took the opportunity to make two dreams come true at once with a picturesque park proposal!

And our sneaky snapper was able to capture all the action so that the happy couple can relive their engagement moment time and again with gorgeous photos!
