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.

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!
