Helping couples capture that perfect moment is what we are all about.  And with nationwide legalization of same-sex unions, we are excited to start making history with all couples, in all 50 states and beyond!

Over the past few years, we have been invited to plan and photograph several beautiful same-sex proposals.  We’ve included some of our favorite proposal moments below.

LGBT Proposal Ideas

Iconic D.C. Engagement

Most recently, Julie’s iconic Washington, D.C. proposal pulled at our heartstrings.  The couple was visiting the capitol from their home city of Boston.  Julie planned the location with the idea that the pair could revisit the spot of their proposal every year to celebrate their anniversary. Then, she reached out to Paparazzi Proposals to make sure that their full engagement story was captured.  From her fiancée’s reaction, it was clear that she had made the right choice. Amy wiped tears of joy away from her eyes when Julie knelt down on the stately marble steps of the Lincoln Memorial, and asked her that all-important question.

Botanical Garden Proposal

Earlier this year, we had the privilege of shooting James and Joseph’s touching engagement. James popped the question amidst the spring blooms of Toronto’s enchanting botanical gardens.  After walking with John through the historic grounds, he paused in a clearing, turned to face him, and knelt down on one knee.  The multicolored blossoms provided the perfect backdrop for surprise engagement photography as John enthusiastically said, “Yes!”

NYC Central Park Proposal

Jake’s overjoyed reaction to Matt’s proposal on Bow Bridge in New York City’s Central Park reminded us of the power of the perfect marriage proposal.  Matt’s thoughtful proposal inspired tears of joy from his fiancée.

Get inspired by love!

Julie chose the memorial for her stunning proposal because she knew Amy would appreciate the simple elegance of the landmark.

“D.C. is a special area to me and I want it to be for both of us,” said Julie.  “We live in Boston, so this way we can have a special trip to go on to celebrate our engagement spot.”

The pair met through Julie’s high school roommate and friend, who worked with Amy and thought the pair would make an excellent match.

For this glowing couple, the sparks actually weren’t there in the beginning.

“We didn’t feel the right kind of chemistry,” said Julie.  “In fact, we were each a bit bored!”

Both underwhelmed after their first meeting, they were convinced to go on a second date by their mutual friend.  They realized they truly enjoyed each other’s company when they realized they could make each other laugh.  The second date ignited the spark of a lasting love that brought the pair to the memorial steps last weekend, where Paparazzi Proposals had a hidden photographer to capture every beautiful moment.

The couple purchased a pair of stunning engagement rings–Amy’s from Long’s Jewelers, and Julie’s from Fairbanks and Perry Goldsmith’s.

Paparazzi Proposals is a big believer in love, and we pride ourselves on making everyone’s magic moment memorable through surprise engagement photography.  We had the privilege of photographing Joseph and James’ Toronto proposal earlier this month, and were proud to shoot Ashley and Rachel’s romantic Connecticut lighthouse proposal a few summers ago. Paparazzi Proposals is honored to have been invited to photograph many same-sex engagements, and we are excited to photograph many more in the near future!

Not in D.C.? Not a problem.  We have photographers everywhere, ready to help you plan and capture your big moment.

Jake contacted Paparazzi Proposals as he wanted to propose to his boyfriend and wanted the moment captured on camera!

Matt was working in NYC for a while and so Jake decided to come and visit and propose to Matt. The couple enjoyed a stroll around Central Park before ending up on Bow Bridge. As Jake dropped to one knee matt’s reaction was just amazing, after the proposal the couple enjoyed a portrait session around Central Park.
