The best-laid plans may have been sidelined or rescheduled or reimagined, but one thing we know for sure  \u2014 love is never cancelled.<\/p>\n

Gregory & Cha\u2019Koya<\/h2>\n

Maui, Hawaii<\/a> | January 5, 2020<\/p>\n

LOVE STORY:<\/strong> \u201cWe met through a mutual friend in DC. At the time, I was living in Oakland, CA and Cha\u2019koya was living in DC. Within a month, I was on a plane back to DC to visit her. At dinner one night, I looked over at her and said, \u2018I can picture us and a couple of kiddos.\u2019 After two years of being long distance, I moved across the country to join Cha\u2019koya in DC.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

PROPOSAL MOMENT:<\/strong> \u201cDuring the initial photo shoot, I had the ring box in my back pocket and had to manage to keep my body facing forward so that my curious fianc\u00e9e wouldn\u2019t start asking questions. I can remember a few instances when I had to grab her hand so that she wouldn\u2019t graze the ring box just below my lower back. Once we had taken a few shots by the lifeguard stand and on the edge of the beach, Rojeena signalled to me that the lighting was perfect. As the waves receded back into the ocean, I grabbed my fianc\u00e9e\u2019s hand and told her, \u2018You already know what this is.\u2019 Immediately, she was overwhelmed with emotion. I told her how much she had already impacted my life and how much I was looking forward to advancing our relationship for years to come. Our relationship started more than 3,000 miles apart, and now just over two years later, we are officially engaged and finally in the same time zone to start our next chapter.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

Trever & Robert<\/h2>\n

Budapest, Hungary<\/a> | January 8, 2020<\/p>\n

LOVE STORY: <\/strong>\u201cWe met almost a decade ago; we\u2019re high school sweethearts who found our way back to each other after many years. He\u2019s brilliant and handsome and kind; we say the same thing at the same time way too often. He\u2019s always been the person who makes me laugh the hardest and inspires me to be better. It seemed like the most natural thing in the world to spend our lives together.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

PROPOSAL MOMENT:<\/strong><\/span> \u201cHe was suspicious of the need to wake up so early, so I don\u2019t think it was a total surprise! When I got down on one knee, the look on his face was something I\u2019ll never forget. Everything I\u2019d planned to say went out the window when I saw that face, and I just spoke from the heart (though neither of us remembers what I actually said). It was the special moment I\u2019d imagined, and with Flytographer and Meli it was seamless.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Conner & Victoria<\/h2>\n

San Diego, California<\/a> | January 11, 2020<\/p>\n

PROPOSAL MOMENT:<\/strong> \u201cWe were in San Diego because my fianc\u00e9e was interviewing for a job. We took a few extra days to enjoy the city and I knew it was the perfect place to propose.I looked to Flytographer to help capture a surprise proposal, perfect for a sunset photo shoot in La Jolla. I wasn\u2019t sure where I should propose, but our photographer, Jessica, worked with me to discover beautiful places in San Diego. Jessica\u2019s recommendations allowed me to select the perfect place.<\/span>\u201d <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Gaurav & Niti<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sintra, Portugal<\/a> | January 22, 2020<\/p>\n

LOVE STORY:<\/strong> \u201cShe\u2019s my best friend. I\u2019ve known her since we were teenagers! We both grew up in the same town and love to travel so I knew I had to do it abroad. One of our favourite hobbies together is hiking. Pena Palace in Sintra was the perfect location to get that high view we both enjoy.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

PROPOSAL MOMENT:<\/strong> \u201cThe proposal went amazing! We were on a private tour of Sintra and the Flytographer Maria<\/a> was already waiting at the proposal location that was on the itinerary. She pretended to be a friendly tourist and snapped a picture for us. Both the tour guide and Flytographer took us to the best-secluded view spot in the palace where I can pop the question. Instead of posing for the picture, I proceeded to reach in my inside jacket pocket and took out the ring box. My now-fianc\u00e9e was so excited she immediately grabbed me before I could kneel. She began to tear up and maybe so did I! I proposed and the rest is history.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Denes & Kristen<\/b><\/h2>\n

Austin, Texas<\/a> | January 31, 2020<\/p>\n

LOVE STORY:<\/strong> \u201cKristen and I met after I had uprooted my life in Portland, Oregon and moved back to Chicago. We met through Bumble. On our first date, I met her for lunch after a job interview and we got our fingers messy eating wings! I soon found out we both had a love for food and travel and we hit it off from there. (Little did I know on our first date that Kristen turned out to be an excellent food and travel photographer.)\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

PROPOSAL MOMENT:<\/strong> \u201cI chose to propose in Austin because I had heard it was a fun city with a great food scene. Neither of us had spent any time there before so I wanted to make a new memory there. <\/em><\/span>The proposal was great! Our photographer Macy was super friendly and communicative, gave me some great ideas and also chose the perfect time for us to get the perfect shots! My fianc\u00e9e was completely surprised by the proposal, which was the best part.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Akshay & Anju<\/h2>\n

Chicago, Illinois<\/a> | February 2, 2020<\/p>\n

LOVE STORY:<\/strong> \u201cAnju and I met each other during our first undergrad semester in India in 2010. We were introduced to each other by a mutual friend, and it was during that time we also got to learn that her mom and my dad were friends during university. Over the year our friendship grew stronger; we secretly did have a thing for each other but at the time we both were seeing other people. As fate would have it, during our last semester in 2014, we hung out and danced together at an Armin Van Buren concert \u2026 she likes to say it was more like absinthe fairies rather than sparks flying that night. A week or two later of late-night texts, dates, and back-and-forth flirting, we started seeing each other. It is going to be seven years this year on the 7th of February.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

PROPOSAL MOMENT:<\/strong> \u201cChicago has been my second home after Mumbai, India. Anju and I both moved to Illinois at the same time to study for our Master\u2019s. For us, Chicago has been the place where we created our memories away from home together. This city has always been so kind to us \u2014 the people, the vibe \u2014 we were so drawn to it. For me, it made perfect sense to ask her to marry me in Chicago.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSo what was most important was the date 02\/02\/2020. Anju is fond of numbers, especially unique dates. It really mattered to me that I proposed to her on that date. At the time I was set to move back to India for good and I wanted to make sure we were engaged. I told her since I couldn\u2019t get her married on that day I would do something special like a date for her. She\u2019s always been the planner in our relationship but I told her I\u2019d like to take charge. I told her I would take her to this fancy restaurant, but instead, I took her to the beach, pretending that this place I wanted to take her was shut and it\u2019ll open in some time, so let\u2019s walk to the end of the walkway. I told her the view was excellent and it truly was something we\u2019ve never seen. Once [Flytographer]<\/a> Michael was there to signal the keyword that the lighting was perfect, I got down on one knee; she knew exactly what this was and I looked at her knowing this was exactly the moment she has been waiting for her entire life. <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2014 I found the center of my universe and oh how right I was \u2026 I cannot imagine my life without her as my partner. Today, after nearly 7 years of travelling 10,000 miles together and making 10,000 more memories, we are engaged and set to get married on 12\/02\/2021. Anju is my person forever.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Jason & Lindsay<\/h2>\n

New York City, New York<\/a> | February 8, 2020<\/p>\n

LOVE STORY:<\/strong> \u201c<\/em><\/span>She is simply the most amazing woman in the world. Every day I am with her it is a blessing \u2014 and the days I am not with her I can\u2019t stop thinking about her. Whether it\u2019s a special date night, a simple evening meal at home or getting through a hard day at work, she makes life amazing.<\/span>\u201c<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

PROPOSAL MOMENT: <\/strong>\u201cSeaport in lower Manhattan is simply majestic. From the stunning cobblestone streets to the inviting quaint architecture, it is without a doubt one of the most beautiful places in all of NYC. <\/span>Outside of opening the ring box the wrong way, it went absolutely amazing. The photos need little explanation of the surprise, the emotion, and the love felt during our special day.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Noah & Nathali<\/h2>\n

Los Angeles, California<\/a> | February 14, 2020<\/p>\n

LOVE STORY:<\/strong> \u201c<\/em><\/span>Nathali and I met when she first started at UCLA in 2014 and we got close on a service trip in Jamaica. We remained close for the next 4 years and it wasn\u2019t until we went to my company\u2019s holiday party \u2018as friends\u2019 that we realized we wanted to be something more. Every day since then has been better than the last, and I can\u2019t wait to spend forever together.<\/span>\u201c<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

PROPOSAL MOMENT: <\/strong>\u201cThe proposal really went better than I could have imagined! I had put together a memory chest of a bunch of nostalgic items from our relationship. Pamphlets from concerts and shows we\u2019ve gone to, rocks from parks we\u2019ve camped in, notes we\u2019ve written to each other, and mementos from too many hilarious nights to count. She had thought that the chest was just a Valentine\u2019s Day gift, but when we got to the end, I pulled out the ring to represent all of the memories we still have to make. As if the sunset backdrop wasn\u2019t enough, there was hardly anyone on the pier and there was a ukulele player cycling through every classic love song in the book. Couldn\u2019t have imagined a better backdrop!<\/span><\/em>\u201c<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

LOVE STORY:<\/strong> \u201cWe met in high school at 15 years old and we just celebrated our 7 year anniversary!<\/em><\/span>\u201c<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

PROPOSAL MOMENT: <\/strong>\u201cWe were walking towards White Barn at Park City Utah, a favourite location we always need to tour. A snowstorm was occurring and it was about 17 degrees, freezing. We took a selfie and continued to walk forward. That\u2019s when I shouted Daniela\u2019s name and when she turned around, Gabriella caught the whole moment. It was spectacular! <\/span>Definitely an experience I won\u2019t forget.<\/span>\u201c<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Danny & Jen<\/strong><\/h2>\n

San Francisco, California<\/a> | February 18, 2020<\/p>\n

LOVE STORY:<\/strong> \u201cWe met about 7 years ago through mutual friends. It wasn\u2019t a planned date or a planned meetup. It just happened organically. I wasn\u2019t supposed to be there that night but I was and we met. The rest, as they say, is history.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

PROPOSAL MOMENT:<\/strong> \u201cWe\u2019ve never been to San Francisco. I wanted to have a picture-perfect memory attached to the moment. It may seem lame and touristy for the locals, but even they have to admit that they\u2019ll never get tired of staring at that bridge. Every time my fianc\u00e9e looks at her ring she\u2019ll be reminded of the sand, the waves, the sunset, and the bridge. That\u2019s more than enough for me.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI had planned to meet the photographer (who was posing as a friendly tourist) down at Marshal Beach for sunset pictures of me getting down on one knee. Not being from around there (and being very nervous) I made the huge mistake of starting the hike down to the beach way too early. We got there 20-30 minutes early and I had to find a way to stall my girl without being too obvious. I had to hide my nerves from making sure she doesn\u2019t see the ring box bulging out of my pocket, hide my obvious people-scanning to find the photographer, hide my general nerves of the moment, etc. The photographer finally came (thankfully very early) and there was no turning back. Nothing can really prepare you for this moment, but once it was over I felt the weight of many months of planning and secret-keeping lift right off me. She said yes so I\u2019d say it went pretty well!\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Joey & Alli<\/b><\/h2>\n

Los Angeles, California<\/a> | March 2, 2020<\/p>\n

LOVE STORY<\/strong>: \u201cWe met in high school and started dating right towards the end of it. I knew pretty quickly that I loved her and by the back end of college, I knew she was the one. We\u2019ve made it through thick and thin, and we\u2019ve always had fun and kept each other laughing.<\/em><\/span>\u201d <\/em>              <\/span><\/p>\n

PROPOSAL MOMENT<\/strong>: \u201cI proposed on a hiking trail in Palos Verdes looking out into the Pacific and towards Catalina Island, which we were heading to later that day. I set up two \u2018fake-outs\u2019 for my fianc\u00e9e, Alli, because I thought she was suspicious. First I took her to one scenic view called Portuguese Point and gave her an anniversary gift. I thought the gift would make her think that the proposal wouldn\u2019t happen today. The second fake-out was that we got to the end of the hike and I turned around to start walking back to the car. I thought that would make her think again it wasn\u2019t going to happen. Luckily for her, our photographer was waiting just a bit further up the trail so I could get down on one knee and surprise her with the proposal.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJenny was amazing. She did a great job acting like a normal hiker and pretending to be uninvolved. She even made a last-minute adjustment to the proposal location which turned out to be amazing. It was more scenic than my original spot and it was on our route anyway. After the proposal, we had a really fun session and Jenny made us laugh and feel confident while we took more photos.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Collin & Paige<\/b><\/h2>\n

Tulum, Mexico<\/a> | March 6, 2020<\/p>\n

LOVE STORY<\/strong>: \u201cWe met in college in an engineering class. She asked for my number so we could study later, and we ended up being a perfect match! I knew she was the one after we went on many adventures together and moved in together.\u201d <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

PROPOSAL MOMENT<\/strong>: \u201cThe day of the proposal was really busy! We visited ruins in Coba in the morning, went snorkelling in another cenote in the middle of the day, and ended up making it to Cenote Cristalino for the proposal right on time, dressed in our nicest clothes from the trip. I still caught her by surprise, even though she may have suspected something was different. I love that her eyes were watering with tears of joy before I could even pull the ring out of my pocket. I loved our special moment, and how well it was caught on camera. It was in a nice private area which we both always wanted for our proposal moment, and I\u2019m so glad everything went according to plan. I\u2019m thankful for my friends\u2019 help in planning the ideas, and for Flytographer\u2019s help in realizing the dream proposal!\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Jennifer & Rebecca<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

New York City, New York<\/a> | March 9, 2020<\/p>\n

LOVE STORY<\/strong>: \u201cWe met online! Our distance was outside of each other\u2019s app search parameters, so we\u2019re still not sure how we got lucky enough to match. I realized I was in love with Becca after about 6 months of dating when we went to NYC for Pride. I proposed in Christopher Park in NYC, the site of the Stonewall Riots in 1969 that marked the beginning of the modern gay rights movement and current location of the yearly pride festivities. I fell in love with her beautiful eyes, sense of humour, confidence and care-taking nature to her friends and family.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

PROPOSAL MOMENT<\/strong>: \u201cI got her to Greenwich Village by saying we were doing an LGBT history walking tour. Once in the park, our photographer pretended to be associated with the tour and I asked him to take a picture of us while we waited for the tour to start so he could block us out in a good spot. Immediately after, I got into position and onto one knee. I was so nervous \u2014 I think my partner and I both blacked out a little while it was happening!\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Luis & Courtney<\/b><\/h2>\n

Banff, Alberta<\/a> | March 9, 2020<\/p>\n

LOVE STORY<\/strong>: \u201cWe met in high school but we lost touch after graduation. We reconnected on social media after Courtney had moved away. Once she moved back, we started to spend more time together. About four years after that, we started dating. That was over six years ago.\u201d<\/em><\/span>  <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

PROPOSAL MOMENT<\/strong>: \u201cCourtney thought that the photographer was just another tourist taking pictures. As soon as she saw the box, she started crying and never actually answered the question. In the back of her mind, she was thinking \u2018We need to give this girl our email address so she can email us the pictures\u2019 and was so surprised to find out that she was hired to be there. Megan was super sweet, patient and easy to work with. The pictures came out beautiful. Better than I ever could have imagined!\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Christine & Ann Marie<\/b><\/h2>\n

London, England<\/a> | March 10, 2020<\/p>\n

LOVE STORY<\/strong>: \u201cWe met at a banquet. We saw each other from afar. The moment we met, time stood still in one of those corny, romantic chick-flick type of ways. She became nervous, and after our brief hello, Ann Marie ran away from me, never to talk to me again for the rest of the night. We met a second time, six months later; I forced her to allow me to buy her an egg sandwich, and the rest is history.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

PROPOSAL MOMENT<\/strong>: \u201cPrior to the proposal, Ann Marie had demanded that she receive a speech when the big moment would happen. Instead, every morning leading up to us going to London, I wrote her good morning love notes. The beginning letter of the first word of the notes would eventually spell out \u201cW-I-L-L Y-O-U M-A-R-R-Y M-E\u201d. As such, I showed her a picture of the notes spelling out the phrase with the ring box next to it, and I said to her that she didn\u2019t need a speech, because I\u2019ve been telling her how I\u2019ve felt all along. <\/em><\/span>She was speechless, shocked, cried, but was able to muster out the word \u2018YES!\u2019 We had a blast with our photographer thereafter and was able to capture our love, our laughs, and the smiles we have shared over the past 5 years together.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

LOVE STORY:<\/strong> \u201cJessica and I met, like so many these days, on a dating app. Jessica says she knew I was the one when I showed up with a toy for her cat on our first date.\u201d <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

PROPOSAL MOMENT:<\/strong> \u201cI chose Central Park simply because so many other ideas I had were just not available to me amidst the Coronavirus pandemic. It ended up being a beautiful location for an amazing day. Jessica and I did some walking around Central Park and eventually stopped at a lake-viewing area, overlooking the iconic San Remo building. I started to read her a letter I had written and that\u2019s when I realized just how nervous I was. Jessica seemed to take a few seconds to realize what was happening and that\u2019s when she burst into tears. I asked her to marry me and she said yes, even though I had opened the ring box upside down!<\/em><\/span>\u201d <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

PROPOSAL MOMENT:<\/strong> \u201cI was originally going to propose in Puerto Rico but had to cancel because of COVID-19, so I ended up proposing at an empty hotel along Clearwater Beach. The GM at Opal Sands at Clearwater Beach set everything up. We had the entire back pool and bar area to ourselves overlooking the Gulf of Mexico at sunset. He also threw in a free room for the night!\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Stephen & Emily<\/h2>\n

Breckenridge, Colorado<\/a> | June 14, 2020<\/p>\n

LOVE STORY:<\/strong> \u201cWe went to college together, and first got to know each other when Steve started working at a late-night student-run eatery that I was managing at the time \u2014 so I was technically his manager. We started dating shortly after he stopped working there, moved to NYC after graduation, and now live together in a too-small apartment.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

PROPOSAL MOMENT:<\/strong> \u201cSteve got the ring back in February, but the pandemic pretty severely curtailed our travel plans and most other opportunities for scenic proposals. We planned the trip to Colorado more or less last-minute and he seized the opportunity to take advantage of the beautiful area around Breckenridge.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSteve had been in touch with our wonderful photographer, Kristin, beforehand and she was waiting for us incognito at the proposal site at Sapphire Point. We started to walk towards down towards the bluff when Steve pulled me off the path (getting the sunlit and snow-capped mountains squarely into the shot) and got down on one knee.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
