Reilly & Thu's Proposal Story in Dallas
How did you meet?
Friends/Family
What is your love story?
R: I think once you know, you know. I knew I wanted to propose for awhile, and it was mainly a matter of figuring out the best way to do it. We've grown so much as a couple over the past few years, and I wanted to make sure I tried to make a special moment just that.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
R: Flippen Park is a beautiful park with great scenery, in a historic part of Dallas. We had pictures done at this park before for a previous life event, so it was nice to return. I knew I wanted to propose in a more secluded location, and I felt this park was a great place to return to.
What is your proposal story?
T: Leading up to the proposal, Reilly had told me that we were attending a university alumni event. Little did I know, a beautiful setup was waiting for me in the gazebo. Reilly talked about our love story and past memories, got down on one knee, and asked if our future could be one forever together. He surprised me by arranging for our families and closest friends to celebrate together after.

James & Kiaya's Proposal Story in Amalfi Coast
How did you meet?
What is your love story?
Kiaya and I had known each other for years, but it was one date from Hinge that truly set our story in motion. We stayed in touch through COVID, and over time our relationship naturally grew into something special. Five years later, after living together and travelling the world side by side, we’re still as happy as ever. That’s when I knew she was the one.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
Kiaya had always dreamed of a fairytale moment on the Amalfi Coast, so I knew that’s where our special moment had to be.
What is your proposal story?
We’re still figuring out what our wedding day will look like, but we’re leaning towards a beautiful venue in Italy, somewhere like Florence, so we can celebrate with family and friends in a country that’s been so special to us.
Best tip for proposing in Amalfi Coast
Keep a close eye on the weather and plan ahead. Have a Plan A for an outdoor proposal and a Plan B indoors, so you always have a backup. I was lucky the weather turned out perfectly, but rain had been forecast, so I was glad I had an alternative ready. The Amalfi Coast has plenty of incredible indoor venues that would still make the moment feel just as special, so there’s no need to worry. Remember, it’s always better to be safe than sorry.

Anthony & Claire's Proposal Story in Paris
How did you meet?
What is your love story?
I knew Claire was simply the one was when I couldn’t wait to spend every second with them and knew I would never get tired of her company. I wanted to and looked forward to making amazing memories together and I knew no matter what we did or where we’d go together I would be just happy to have done it with her. I also had no intentions on making those special memories and take amazing adventures with any other person!
What made you choose this proposal destination?
I chose Paris because I knew it was her dream vacation! We decided to go to Paris when her sister got accepted to study abroad in France and it was then when I knew I just had to take the opportunity to make Paris the ultimate proposal destination. I just knew Paris from then on out would always hold a special place in our hearts and be an irreplaceable memory to our journey together.
What is your proposal story?
In the end the proposal was executed flawlessly and Claire had no idea it was coming. She never thought I would propose on a vacation as I made sure throughout our time together I would advise against destination proposals due to unknown factors. Although the end it all worked out, the beginning not so much! On the day of our flight the day went as planned, Up to about an hour to our expected flight, our flight got delayed! Just to add to the suspense we had a connection flight from which we already only had 45 min to make after our first flight so we really could not have had much time to spare. Time went on and our flight got ultimately cancelled!l and we could have never made our connection flight to Paris so we lost a full whole day of our trip as we had to catch the next flight very early morning the next day! The proposal was supposed to happen on day 1 of our trip and I had no idea what to do. Our photographer Kirill told me not to worry as he would help with rescheduling and making the time work with me to be able to capture this spectacular moment! As I was unsure what the next plan would even be, Inside I was freaking out but my photographer gave me every bit of hope that he will make sure to capture this moment for us. Our photographer and the whole team of Flytographer was always readily available and professional and made the experience so smooth and stress-free. In the end I got a plan together with my photographer and he made sure to make himself available with our schedule and made the proposal shoot happen with flawlessly. I cannot thank Kirill and the team of Flytographer enough for capturing this special moment for Claire and I as we will always be able to look at our pictures and experience the beauty that was captured on that day!
Best tip for proposing in Paris
If you’re thinking of proposing in Paris definitely have not only one back-up plan but a couple back-up plans as the days can be so dynamic and like me and my situation flights can get delayed and or worse, cancelled! I definitely recommend using Flytographer to find an amazing photographer who is willing to help you every step of the way as Kirill did with me!

Work
What is your love story?
We first met as work interns and happened to both go to the same university too! I knew there was something special about her from the day we met, I couldn't stop thinking about her and how I felt around her. She makes all moments - big or small - feel like the adventure of a lifetime. Fast forward 7 years and now we are engaged!
What made you choose this proposal destination?
We love California, and when we visited Santa Monica 3 years ago it was one of our favourite trips we had ever been on. We always knew we wanted to go back. For the proposal I knew having the ocean, beach, Pacific Pier, and sunrise in the background would make for some amazing visuals to capture the moment!
What is your proposal story?
I surprised her with a trip back to Santa Monica. The second day we were there I walked us down to the beach for a "surprise sunrise breakfast." The sky was beautiful, the beach was quiet, the pier was lit up, and the ocean waves provided a soothing white noise. It was all perfect. I walked to the spot I had organized with my Flytographer Allie, and that is when I proposed. Right after the proposal I had our siblings run down on to the beach and surprise her - she had no idea they flew to Cali as well to spend the weekend with us. It was the best weekend ever!

Evan & Bianca's Proposal Story in Boston
How did you meet?
School
What is your love story?
We met in middle school and started dating in our sophomore year of highschool. We have been together for almost 10 years now. I knew she was the one for a very long time. We have grown together from teens to almost fully fledged adults.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
Bianca was visiting our mutual friend in Boston on her spring break. She wasn't expecting me to be there as I had to work. I figured this was my best opportunity to actually surprise her.
What is your proposal story?
After Spending a few days in Boston, Bianca was already suspicious due to a few things. our mutual friend had ask to get their nails done together and asked her to wear something nice on the day I had planned to propose. We had cover stories for these things but you could see how she might get the idea that I may propose. However after spending most of the day walking through the museum expecting to see me around every corner. She started to think she was misinterpreting the signs that she saw and that I wasn't going to be proposing. She finally left the museum feeling dejected but then rounded the corner to see me and the photographer waiting for her.
Best tip for proposing in Boston
It was very cold the day I proposed and lot of the grass was dead. I would probably recommend proposing a bit later into spring so that its warmer and the plants have more of a chance to grow. however, we did have the advantage that there were fewer people outside and had most of the emerald necklace to ourselves

What is your love story?
I am very particular about showing up places on time, and Matilda managed to beat me to the coffee shop where we had our first date. Instant green flag. Not only that, when I arrived she was reading a book, and I love to read, so we bonded over that. And to top it off, she loves baseball. We bonded over the fact that I had been to every major league baseball stadium and that despite being raised in Poland, her father (who is American) raised her to love the St. Louis Cardinals.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
We live about a twenty minute walk from Central Park, so it being nearby made it an easy choice. But we also went there on our third date and that was where we really fell in love.
What is your proposal story?
I had warned Matilda not to schedule work for the day of, so she knew it was coming. But sort of like Romeo and Juliet, even though they spoil the ending in the beginning, what's important is you don't know how you'll get there. So that was the real surprise for her. We walked over to Central Park and she didn't know where we were going. Then when we arrived at the proposal spot, I turned to her and she knew this is where it would happen. I pulled out my phone to take a selfie of us (the signal to Monika to start shooting), and then pulled out the ring. I said "I asked you this a month into us dating, so this is the last time I get to ask. Will you marry me?" and knelt down. She knelt down to kiss me and said yes :)
Best tip for proposing in New York City
Shoot with our photographer, Monika! She was excellent. She made a great recommendation to move our proposal time up 30 minutes, since the weather was unseasonably nice and people would be swarming to Central Park after they got off work.

What made you choose this proposal destination?
I grew up in Japan and remember how beautiful it was during cherry blossom season.
What is your proposal story?
Our flight to Japan was cancelled and then delayed in Chicago. I didn’t have my checked luggage so I had to buy all new outfits. We all were a little sick from the bullet train after a night of partying in Tokyo. Also on the train my partner casually mentions she lost her passport. I told her if she wanted to stay in Japan she could have just told me and not lose her passport. Even after going through all that we still met our photographer at the spot and I still wanted to spend the rest of my life with her.
Best tip for proposing in Kyoto
Kyoto is very busy during cherry blossom season, find the right photographer to give you different options. Trust your photographer they are the experts.

I love to live my life very fast paced and love putting myself in high stress envioronments however whenever she’s things get easier. I love to slow down when she’s around and not feel stressed. It’s like a different version of me who can take the time to enjoy things I usually might not.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
My partner is of Irish decent and the last time I visited Dublin solo I had one of my best experiances ever on travel. So when choosing a place I knew it had to be ireland. With us both loving history and nature the castle had to be the place.
What is your proposal story?
I woke up not feeling well honestly and I know now that that feeling was nervousness. A feeling I had not explored in quite some time but the plan stayed the same. Book of Kells in the morning and the castle between the Book of Kells and our next excursion. We ended up finishing Book of Kells much earlier than I expected so I was trying to stall and delay until the right time. Looking back we added an extra 10,000 steps to our day because of the one hour of downtime between Book of Kells and our photoshoot. It was all worth it in the end when the moment came.

What is your proposal story?
Camilla, my photographer, helped me to prep for our big day. It was entirely a surprise (even to my fiancé who can tell you the end of the movie before it starts). I was supposed to que in Camilla via a selfie, but the moment I stepped under the portico to get on one knee, I sobbed. I cracked under pressure and stood, handed my fiancée the entire ring box in tears, then dropped on one knee in disarray. The photos were beautiful and truly captured my chaotic nature. My fiancée held me in her arms in shock and compassion. It was a perfect moment.
