A hopeless romantic, Kyle wanted their proposal to be a fairytale-perfect start to their happily ever after.  And no fairytale is complete without a castle!  So Kyle whisked Jessica away to Castello di Amorosa in Napa Valley for a stunning weekend vineyard getaway.

The happy couple first laid eyes on each other when they were 11 years old.  The pair had just started middle school.  Jessica loved Kyle’s goofy personality and sense of humor, and that he could make her laugh even at his most annoying times.  They became fast friends over the next three years, but parted ways to go to different high schools and lost touch.

Then, in their senior year of high school, Jessica was hanging out with her friends and decided to prank call Kyle.  She was surprised and impressed when he recognized her voice, calling her out on her prank.  From that day forward, the two began talking everyday and picked up their friendship right where they had left off.

Except this time, with an undeniable spark.  When they met up again, Kyle thought Jessica was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, and after getting to know her more, he learned that she had a stunning personality to match.

When the time came to go to college, Kyle was set to go to New York, and Jessica was off to Colorado.  But they decided that this time, even thousands of miles wouldn’t get in the way.  Their relationship was further put to the test when Jessica studied abroad in Italy, but their deep, loving connection kept them strong through the distance.

Both Jessica and Kyle maintain that they knew from the time they started dating that they had found The One. He had what she was looking for in a husband, and his positive, carefree approach to life made her want to always be by his side.  Over the years, Kyle began to realize that he never wanted to be apart from Jessica because of how special she made him feel. And in more recent years, he has admired her strong relationship with her family and her emphasis on family values.

Kyle knows Jessica so well that he was able to provide her with an absolutely perfect proposal moment.  After sipping wine and roaming the Castle grounds, the two stepped onto the terrace, to share a bottle of wine and charcuterie and take in the views of the rambling vineyard.  Smiling and looking into Jessica’s eyes, Kyle knelt down and presented her with a shining engagement ring from Tacori’s Icing on the Ring collection.

As she recalled ten years of love and beautiful memories, Jessica eagerly said yes!

But that wasn’t the only surprise Kyle had in mind.  He had also invited both sides of the family to meet up with them afterwards for a weekend-long wine-tasting celebration, so that they could share their magical moment with the most important people in their lives, and begin the blending of two families.

The best part about their whole proposal?  Kyle reached out to Paparazzi Proposals, and one of our sneaky snappers captured the entire proposal, so that while the two of them shared their own private engagement moment, they can share it with the family through stunning surprise engagement photography!

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!

AKA: New York Riverside provides the perfect scene for a surprise proposal

It was one of those perfect New York days, sunny and crisp, ideal for a romantic stroll along the river and checking out the skyline. Our heroes in this tale of love ‘n’ marriage are Ivan and Joanna, who had come into the city to celebrate Joanna’s birthday. Before dinner Ivan took Joanna to her favorite spot on the river.

Bundled up in coats and enjoying the view from downtown Manhattan, with the sun setting Ivan gave Joanna an early birthday card with a very important question inside.

As Joanna read the card Ivan dropped to one knee and pulled out a gorgeous engagement ring that he had hidden in his coat. The dice was cast! Joanna said yes and the couple then posed for some more photos.

You can view all the pictures from this proposal here. 

New York City at this time of year is unspeakably beautiful and the sun setting behind the Brooklyn Bridge, complete with our windswept happy couple, make these engagement photographs classic and intimate in all the right ways.
