It was the first anniversary of their very first date and so Rich wanted to to take Shannon back to the spot where it all had started: the restaurant where they had their first date.

Picture NoMad, the cool part of town North of Madison Square Park in Manhattan. Fall was finally here and  we were ready to help Rich secure his girl! Our paparazzi photographer was waiting out of sight to capture Rich and Shannon arriving and to photograph this amazing proposal. Shannon had no idea and was bowled over by Rich’s gesture.

We loved being part of this proposal as it was simple, evocative and the joy on both Shannon and Rich’s faces is evident. It doesn’t hurt that New York is at her most photogenic at this time of year too, which set the scene beautifully for their proposal photos.

You can see all the beautiful pictures from this proposal here.

Also, sorry Paris but New York is the city of love these days, what with the love on display in Central Park all year ’round, or Brian and Stacey , proving that wine makes everything better with their recent proposal photos taken at Vintner’s Winery, New York has provided the backdrop for hundreds of proposals.

If you are thinking of proposing, or simply want to get some ideas on how the kids are doing it these days, whether in New York or anywhere else get in touch. We love to hear from you!

It was cool day in New York, perfect for an easy afternoon of wine and conversation. But Brian had one last question he needed to ask!

As the couple enjoyed some fine wine with the sommelier, chatting about the floral high notes and bouquets in a cosy wine room, filled to the rafters with wines from around the world, the scene was set.

The sommerlier, who was “in” on the secret conveniently made himself absent, leaving to get more wine. On cue, Brian dropped to one knee and proposed to Stacy, who was flabbergasted but delighted at the course the afternoon had taken. She said yes! Our hidden snapper, who himself had posed as a photographer taking stock photos for the website was there to capture it all! The results speak for themselves, and we join Brian and Stacey’s friends and family in congratulating them on their engagement.

This proposal was organized by our friends at Proposal-Ideas.

You can view all of  Brian and Stacy’s marriage proposal photos here. Wine has served as a backdrop for a number of proposals nationwide too, nothing quite sums up Summer like David and Hayden’s gorgeous engagement photos from Napa.

Joel wanted the perfect setting for the biggest question he was going to ask Katy.

Los Angeles, Los Angeles, the city of angels and, apparently, incredibly romantic, well-thought-out proposals!

“The house is her Great Grandfather house. She spent her summers there and has always dreamed about living there. It’s one of her favorite homes and places to be in the world. She loves the west coast. It’s just a very meaningful place to her and it was a really big deal to have her share it with me. It seemed perfect. ” Joel.

Joel went to great lengths to coordinate with Katy’s family to arrange this proposal. Apparently Katy was incredibly attached to her Great Grandfather’s house and had many happy memories of the times she had spent there. Knowing this, Joel thought that this would be the perfect place to propose to Katy and a way for them to make Joel part of those happy memories too.

Gentlemen, take note, your proposal is not about your big idea, its all about the moment she has been dreaming of for years!

What’s not to love with a story like this? Here at Paparazzi Proposals, we are frequently moved by the stories behind lots of the couples we work with. This low-key, beautiful surprise engagement scene just felt right for Joel and Katy. But sweeping romantic gestures are not limited to the West Coast, oh no! Look at Robert and Elizabeth’s Gramercy Park engagement photos: Robert donated a tree to Gramercy Park (New York) and had a sign made reading “Robert proposed to Elizabeth here on…”. By donating the tree to the park, he finally had access to the park, something they had discussed many times as a couple. It’s just one of the many lovely engagement stories in our archives. One day we will write a book about it all, but for now, take a look through our blog for inspiration and to just soak up the love!

Jake and Renee spend a lot of their time at the racetrack where Jake races his drag car. Jake knew the race car had to be apart of his proposal as it was such a big part of their lives.

Jake and Renee love going to the beach and spending time there together so we knew this had to be apart of this amazing proposal also. So our creative team came up with the awesome idea of having the race car at the amusement park on Wildwood’s boardwalk. This was the perfect setting for not only a fake photo shoot but also the proposal. The last piece of the puzzle was how was Jake going to propose! He wanted to incorporate some game or ride so after trying out nearly every single ride in the park we decided the best solution was for an old classic quarter  toss game. With the stall owner onboard with the plan all Jake had to do now was win the prize! After the pretend shoot Jake took Renee around the park and stopped at the Quarter Toss game, after a couple of throws Jake won and was handed a cupcake stuffed toy (Jake calls Renee Cupcake!) With the prize in hand Jake reached into the stuffed toy and pulled out a ring box and dropped to one knee! With our cameras set up all around we captured this amazing proposal from every angle.
