Benedict's Proposal Story in Paris
What is your love story?
We met on instagram when my beautiful fiancé randomly followed me and I said "Hey, this girl is too beautiful for me not to take my shot." So I did and here we are almost 3 years later, engaged!
What made you choose this proposal destination?
Paris is Uju's favorite city in the world so it was a no brainer.
What is your proposal story?
I purposely planned a "vacation photo shoot" 3 days into our trip to try and throw my now fiancé off the trail and make think it was a birthday trip. It had rained early that morning but the sun came up perfectly for the time for our shoot and my now fiancé was swept off her feet!

Richard & Katherine's Proposal Story in Amalfi Coast
How did you meet?
School
What is your love story?
We met on our first day of college, in our first ever college class on Monday morning at 8am. After a semester of chatting, I worked up the courage to ask her on a date and then it was smooth sailing from there. Six fantastic years later I finally took the next lead and asked her to spend the rest of her life with me.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
Beautiful coast lines, great weather, and fantastic views. There was no shortage of beauty and activities on the Amalfi Coast.
What is your proposal story?
We were scheduled to do the photo shoot in the morning at sunrise but it was canceled due to rain. We were entertaining the idea of moving to the following morning, but the beach was not busy and the sunset was beautiful that evening. My photographer was in the area and we made a quick pivot to have the moment around 6pm at the Positano Beach. I took her on a walk along the water, and after my short speech, I’ll pulled the ring from my sock and she said yes!
Best tip for proposing in Amalfi Coast
Early in the travel season (late April) was perfect timing as the beaches/roads/towns were not jam packed with people. Make sure to leave extra walking or travel time as there are many many stairs, and very narrow streets.

Brendan & Julia's Proposal Story in Positano
How did you meet?
What is your love story?
Julia and I met on Bumble in early 2020. What started out as social distanced dating blossomed into a 4 year relationship. Like many others, we grew very close during the COVID pandemic and quickly became best friends. We bought a house together in St. Louis, MO and adopted two dogs. We have a shared love of travel. We planned a near 2-week trip to Italy which ended with our engagement in Positano!
What made you choose this proposal destination?
We had our trip to Italy planned and Positano seemed like the perfect location for such a special day.
What is your proposal story?
I decided to go with the “planned photoshoot” scenario. I knew that would guarantee that my girlfriend was wearing exactly what she would want for the moment. We had to work around the weather a bit on the day and it was very easy to communicate with the photographer. Once we had a time finalized we met our photographer, Claudio, at a pre-planned location. Claudio began the shoot very casually and guided us to the desired location of the proposal. Once we were in position, he communicated to me that everything was ready in a subtle manner. I was able to propose within the first 5 minutes of the shoot and the rest was an engagement photoshoot filled with excitement!
Best tip for proposing in Positano
Weather can be very unpredictable but your photographers will work with you on timing. Positano is a big tourist destination. So you may get worried about crowds in the background of photos, but our photographer did a great job minimizing this distraction.

Eduardo & Paola's Proposal Story in Lake Como
What made you choose this proposal destination?
Since the beggining of our relationship we dreamed of a vacation to Italy, especially the beautiful Lake Como. Villa del Balbianello is our favorite Villa in Lake Como.
What is your proposal story?
She was surprised! We were nervous about the weather since it had been raining all morning, however the rain stopped and the proposal went perfectly. I could have not asked for a better photoshoot and proposal.
Best tip for proposing in Lake Como
If you are planning to propose on a Villa, make sure to contact them way in advance. All Villas get booked months in advance. I booked Villa del Balbianello 4 months before the proposal. 100% recommend proposing in Lake Como, it is the most romantic.

Drew & Savannah's Proposal Story in Lake Como
How did you meet?
We grew up down the street from each other
What is your love story?
We started as childhood friends and we started dating at the beginning of high school. We went to college together at UW-Madison and following graduation, we then moved to Chicago. We are each other’s best friend and couldn’t imagine growing up and living the rest of our life with anyone else.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
I wanted to propose in the most romantic, beautiful place and Lake Como absolutely exceeded our expectations.
What is your proposal story?
We had the most perfect day exploring Varenna and Bellagio. We returned to Varenna for cafe and drinks at the Villa Monastero Gardens and sat at a bench to watch the sunset over the lake. I handed her a few handwritten letters so we could reminisce on the last 9 years of our relationship. We then walked to the beach (that I had planned to propose and meet the photographer at) and handed her the last letter that ended with “Will you marry me?” and got down on one knee!
Best tip for proposing in Lake Como
Have someone local to the area (like a Flytographer) scout out possible locations because it is hard to predict how crowded areas will get. Try not to pack your day with visiting too many cities on Lake Como—stick with 1-3 because lines for the ferries can get long and there is so much to see in every city so take your time walking around, see some gardens and take in the views. Either propose in the morning or around sunset because the crowds get larger near the middle of the day.

We have a mutual love of broadway musicals and movies/shows filmed in NYC. I wanted her moment to feel iconic and Central Park felt like the perfect place for that.
What is your proposal story?
We traveled to NYC for the first time together and started our trip off with a tour of the cherry blossom trees in Central Park after the tour we wandered around on our own to a perfectly secluded spot my photographer helped pick out for the big moment.
Best tip for proposing in New York City
I proposed in spring and the foliage was beautiful but the unpredictable weather was a little stressful. It ended up work perfectly, the slight rain throughout the day helped make Central Park feel much less crowded. Lean into your photographers knowledge of the city and then walk by places on google maps so you can get a feel for what works best for you!

I would recommend finding places outside of the main tourist spots. We had great photos that capture Florence and the Italian architecture but there wasn’t any other people around. This was thanks to our photographer - use them for ideas and suggestions because they know the area!

We always had eyes out for each other since we met but took a long time to figure out that the other side was mutual.

Gregory & Mia's Proposal Story in Sydney
How did you meet?
School
What is your love story?
We met in High-school, but started dating in College. We're from New Orleans in the USA. I knew Mia was the one when she would unconditionally go out of her way for me. She always keeps my spirits up and understands me.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
This was Mia's first time traveling internationally and I wanted to make sure she had a beautiful memory to last forever. None of our friends and family have been to Sydney, so I knew a picture with the Opera House in the background would be incredibly unique and picturesque.
What is your proposal story?
I told Mia that we were going to take nice pictures in front of the Opera House and to dress nicely. I'm pretty sure this gave it away. She's very perceptive, but I think she enjoyed the anticipation. We walked out onto the pier and I'll never forget looking up at the smile on her face.
Best tip for proposing in Sydney
Make sure you Uber or drive to your destination. Towards the end of the photoshoot we were very hot and sweaty. I'm glad we knocked out our pictures while we were still fresh and nice.
Proposed in Sydney in February
