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.

How did you meet?
School
What is your love story?
Courtney and I actually went to middle school together but weren’t really close. We reconnected in university and hit it off. We fell in love fast and grew together over these past 8 years through our early 20’s. I’ve known for a long time that she would be my wife.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
I’ve travelled to Portugal years ago for school and knew that sharing this spot with Courtney would be special for us.
What is your proposal story?
We’ve been travelling Europe for 3 weeks and I had this pre-planned for months. Knowing it was at the end of the trip, I was hoping Courtney would be super surprised. It definitely worked!

I have never been more nervous in my life! I was so worried about something going wrong, but luckily Jean helped make it a lot less stressful and the proposal was one of the best moments of my life.
Best tip for proposing in Lake Como
One tip, which thankfully we made use of, if to plan the proposal for as early in the day as possible to avoid crowds being in the way of your photos. It also feels more intimate that way

Jacob & Madelyn's Proposal Story in Tokyo
How did you meet?
Friends/Family
What made you choose this proposal destination?
Madelyn's favourite anime film was "Your Name", and the climax of the film was set at the staircase nearby to Suga Shrine in Tokyo. Just as in the film where the two main characters meet once more and start a new chapter in their lives, so too would this be a perfect spot for Madelyn and I to begin the next chapter of our lives as well.
Best tip for proposing in Tokyo
Double check the weather! We went while it was quite hot, so bringing breathable clothes and a sun umbrella will help with warmer weather. If you have not been to the location before, scout it out yourself in advance! There's nothing like doing a dry run with a friend or by yourself to ensure you're comfortable with getting to the location and practicing the big moment.
George & Monique's Proposal Story in Kyoto
How did you meet?
What is your love story?
Our first phone call lasted 4 whole hours with no pauses. We were simply able to be ourselves from the start. After a few dates, we become inseparable and when I looked at her one evening on a beach in Australia, with the sun setting looking at her, I realised I'd never been so happy and she is the one.

It is such a beautiful spot during our travels

Joseph & Victoria's Proposal Story in Lake Como
How did you meet?
School
What is your love story?
Knew almost immediately after meeting at a party from across the room. Started dating not even 1 month later & moved in together a year and a half after that.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
Wanted something classically romantic that was in Europe / outside of the country to give us an excuse to come back and visit again in the future
What is your proposal story?
We took the ferry to Varenna first thing in the morning, walked through lovers path together and made our way to Villa Monastero. I had reserved the loggia by the lake there for our shoot so we walked down the garden hill together. After getting to the loggia I got down on one knee and received a ‘yes’!
Best tip for proposing in Lake Como
If you are going to do somewhere scenic /popular (with or without a reservation) definitely do it in the morning. We did our as soon as the villa opened (at 9:30) and it was honestly worth it as there are way less crowds and the sun isn’t beating down as hard. On top of that, this is the optimal time for lighting as the sun is still partially blocked by the mountains & clouds.

Blind Date/Setup
What is your love story?
We were set up on a blind date by mutual friends at a taco spot! What started as a casual meeting turned into staying out late dancing and instantly clicking. Right from the beginning, everything felt so effortless, genuine, and natural between us. I knew she was the one because no matter where we were or what we were doing, life was just so much better and brighter with her by my side.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
Lake Como has such an iconic, timeless romantic charm. Bellagio’s cobblestone streets, grand architecture, and stunning lakeside views offered the perfect breathtaking setting for a once-in-a-lifetime moment during our trip across Italy.
What is your proposal story?
We planned a 7:00 AM morning photoshoot to catch the quiet beauty of Bellagio before the crowds arrived. As we walked through town down toward the water with Lake Como and the mountains in the background, I asked her to marry me right at the edge of the shore. Mattia and Maria were there to capture the exact surprise and joy of the moment, making it feel completely magical and totally effortless.
Best tip for proposing in Lake Como
Book the early morning shoot! Meeting at 7:00 AM was the best decision we made. Having the quiet streets of Bellagio and the calm lake views virtually to yourselves before the town wakes up makes the moment feel incredibly intimate, private, and special.

Kevin & Priscilla's Proposal Story in Toronto
How did you meet?
Work
What is your love story?
We connected through work at first and developed a friendship that grew into something more. I visited her in her home country to spend time with her. We knew from that point that we had a strong connection and the love grew from there. Now I can't imagine being without her.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
We planned a trip to Toronto together and I thought it would make the trip so special if I proposed in one of their scenic areas.
What is your proposal story?
I took her to High Park in Toronto. I was very nervous. I was also nervous about not finding the photographer. There is a big beautiful pond in High Park that was perfect. We even walked by a swan basking in the sun by the pond. She walked up to the pond on her own for a better view and just at that moment I saw the photographer and waved her to come over to us. I walked behind my fiancee up to the water and started the proposal.

School
What is your love story?
We were long time friends since we started high school (2016). She moved out of CA during high school and ended up moving back after, and when she moved back we ended up dating in 2021.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
Our love of lake Tahoe! And the fact that we could get pictures done here to make it a memorable proposal along with some beautiful nature scenery!
What is your proposal story?
We woke up super early for these pictures, like 4 in the morning! I had been hiding her ring in a little baggie in a small zipper pocket to make sure it stayed out of her sight. This ended up being a good move because before we started the shoot she checked my pockets for a box! But the bag with the ring ended up blending in. She was totally surprised and I'm glad I was able to keep it a complete secret!
Best tip for proposing in Lake Tahoe
Make sure the weather will be nice as soon as possible, I almost had to cancel because of foretasted rain but it ended up being a perfect morning; we got lucky!

How did you meet?
Friends/Family
What is your love story?
We were match-made by a mutual friend who thought we had similar personalities. I knew she was the one right after our first date. I was lovestruck.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
We had never been to San Diego, and I wanted to take her somewhere new where we both wanted to visit.
What is your proposal story?
We for an amazing pasta, wine, and tiramisu dinner at Cesarina. We drove to Sunset Cliffs and meandered around for about an hour to digest our food and make time to let the sunset before heading to the beach for the proposal. I walked Sophia down to the beach, made small talk about our new view of Sunset Cliffs and our plans to enjoy the beach the next day—to which I suggested we walk up onto the dunes to “scope out a good spot” for tomorrow. With us now in a good spot to get beautiful photos with the sunset in the background, I got serious with her, apologized for taking so long to propose 🤣, and got on a knee. She didn’t know whether to cry or pass out, so she said yes. It was perfect.
Best tip for proposing in San Diego
We got into San Diego in time for dinner. I planned the proposal for the first night so that we could bask in the joy of it for the rest of the weekend (and so I didn’t have to stress about it for the whole trip, lol)! I think this was the best way to do it!

Abigail & Marina's Proposal Story in Boston
How did you meet?
What is your love story?
I knew almost right away after meeting her for the first time. I felt like I had known her already, she already felt so familiar to me. She became my best friend instantly!
What made you choose this proposal destination?
One of our best dates in the very beginning of our story took place at Encore, and we've continued to make great memories there! I was particularly inspired by our first visit to Encore and wanted to recreate it for this moment.
What is your proposal story?
I spent a year leading up to the proposal planning surprise dates for Marina so she would be used to dressing up once a month for a surprise outing. On the day of the proposal, Marina was under the impression that we were just going for lunch. We went into Boston to catch the water shuttle to Encore - just like we did a couple years before. While we were waiting for the shuttle, we stepped into the hotel next door to stay cool and we got stuck in an elevator! Luckily, we got out quickly and made our shuttle. We made it to Encore with some time to spare to go recreate some of the photos we took when we went there the first time, and that is when I asked her to marry me! Afterward, we went down to Providence for a romantic sunset gondola boat ride. Also, a couple months before the proposal, I broke my ankle and was not able to kneel as well. I went to my physical therapist and expressed that I needed to be able to kneel, so I was working hard in my therapy to regain the ability to kneel safely in time for the big day!

What is your proposal story?
The plan was to just go to north avenue beach and walk along the lakefront. Sam thought we were going just to get some pictures of the skyline since we haven’t been to this part to view the skyline before. But that’s where I decided to propose and surprise her.
Best tip for proposing in Chicago
We get around the city almost exclusively walking and taking the L trains. But I didn’t realize where we were going on the beach wasn’t the easiest to access this way, so I wasn’t prepared to get an uber until we needed to leave, but that’s where was about it
