It’s engagement season, folks! Did you know that 25% of proposals in North America happen in December? And by Valentine’s Day, another 15% will have said “yes.” That means we’re officially in the most romantic time of the year.
Whether you’re planning to pop the question or getting ready to answer it, one thing is certain—every engagement has its own unique story. Some are big and bold (hello, jumbotron proposals), others are sweet and intimate, and a growing number include loved ones, friends, or even pets.
What’s Your Proposal Style?
Every couple is different, and the way people propose reflects that beautifully. Some proposals are months in the making, with secret planning, coordinated surprises, and the perfect ring burning a hole in someone’s pocket. Others are spontaneous, heartfelt moments that couldn’t wait another second.
We’ve been lucky enough to capture proposals of all kinds:
- Romantic landmarks: Surprise proposals under the arches of Central Park or on top of the Empire State Building.
- Big celebrations: Parties with friends and family waiting just out of sight for the big reveal.
- Quiet moments: A cozy dinner at home or a private walk along the Hudson River.
- Unique settings: On a subway, during a destination vacation, or at a favorite bookstore.
- Love in all its forms: Young couples, second chances, LGBTQ+ love stories, and octogenarians proving it’s never too late to find your person.
No matter the style, there’s one thing they all share: pure, unfiltered emotion.
Why Capture the Moment?
Proposals are a whirlwind, full of nerves, excitement, and love. That’s why having a professional photographer on hand can make all the difference. Not only does it give you a way to relive the moment later, but it also lets you share your story with the people who mean the most to you.
A skilled photographer knows how to stay in the background, keeping the moment intimate while capturing every smile, tear, and “oh my gosh!” Whether it’s the surprise on your partner’s face, the look in your eyes, or the happy chaos that follows, these photos tell the story of one of life’s biggest milestones.
What’s Your Story?

If you’re still planning your proposal, think about how you want it to feel. Then consider how photos can help you relive that moment forever. After all, this isn’t just any memory—it’s the start of a new chapter in your love story.
