See what's included →At Paparazzi Proposals we understand that you have a big life decision ahead, and it needs all kinds of support: from emotional guidance to help with logistics and planning. Over a decade of working and learning, we have developed protocols to make sure your proposal is executed in the most beautiful way.
A proposal is not just a photographer. Behind your date there is a team: coordinators and planners, photographers, editors and decorators, drivers and musicians. No last-minute cancellations, no no-shows, no unexpected changes (unless the weather doesn't permit). We are here for you, through what is likely one of the most important events of your life.
“You can go with one photographer you found online. It's not impossible, but you're taking a risk: we often get couples who are going through a last-minute cancellation, and we do our best to accommodate them, but a proposal planned on a tight deadline rarely ends up as perfect as you want it to be. Come to us from the beginning, and we'll support you with the whole team.”
Pick your date and we'll check availability and match you with the perfect package.

Austin hands you a backdrop for every kind of marriage proposal. We've scouted every spot on this map ourselves: for the light, for the privacy, and for the angles that make the photographs worth framing. Tap any pin to jump to that spot, or let a Austin proposal planner find the place where you two will want to get engaged.
Not sure how to ask? Start with the place. The spot you choose sets the tone of the entire moment, whether you want it hidden and intimate or grand and unmistakably Austin.
Every idea below works beautifully on its own, or dressed up with full proposal decorations: a styled picnic, a candle heart glowing at dusk, or giant MARRY ME letters waiting as you round the corner. Your proposal planner arranges the permits, the timing and the setup, and your photographer is already in position, so all you have to do is walk them there.

The most popular place to pop the question in Austin – there are around 100 stone steps that will take you to an incredible viewpoint above the Colorado River and Lake Austin. Plan to come 30 minutes before sunset. The hike itself is going to make you feel excited for the view ahead.
A picturesque boardwalk built out over the water with an Austin skyline that reflects off the lake, most striking during golden hour with kayakers and herons passing by. Being on a boardwalk over the water allows one to be at eye level with the skyline reflecting off the lake. Wildlife passing by provides the boardwalk with natural energy.
A historic estate dating back to 1895 in Austin, Texas, featuring large lawns and old oaks dating back to the century before, creating the perfect garden party environment that is located close to downtown. The historic trees and well-kept lawns create a classic elegance.
An old estate that was turned into a public park with peacocks freely wandering the manicured gardens and ponds, as well as the native plant life – an enchanting hidden gem that Austin is proud of. The wandering peacocks contribute a unique charm to the grounds.
The large pink granite Capitol and its surroundings with the formal architecture and manicured gardens right in the center of downtown. The pink granite exterior and grand dome really provide the setting with scale and formality. It's quite a unique and very Texas-style pick for a downtown proposal.
A downtown green space on Waller Creek featuring trails and the skyline in the background, in close proximity to the center of the city. The creek together with the modern landscaped trails provides a contemporary green space within the heart of the city.

It was a bit stressful to plan a proposal 3000 miles away. However, they gave me ideas, drew up routes and ensured I felt 100% comfortable. The result was a stress free, perfect execution of the happiest moment of my life.
He acted like he was just a tourist taking photos of the sunset, and my fiance was so surprised with the setup. I was also sent the pictures within 2 days!
