Why Paparazzi Proposals

Why a team, and not one photographer you found online.

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.”

Baltimore Proposal Map

Places to propose in Baltimore.

Baltimore 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 Baltimore proposal planner find the place where you two will want to get engaged.

Ideas & inspiration

Baltimore Proposal Ideas.

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 Baltimore.

Baltimore proposal decorations, set up before you arrive

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. Tap any idea to read the full location guide.

Our work

Baltimore Proposal Photographer.

Every one of these was shot by a local Baltimore secret proposal photographer, standing exactly where we said we'd be: hidden in plain sight, lens ready, half a second before they turned around.

  • Full print & sharing release
  • Spot scouting and timing planned with you in advance
Location guides

Baltimore Proposal Locations.

The full story on every spot above: when the light is best, how private it really is, and what we can set up for you before you arrive.

Cylburn Arboretum

This is the largest public garden in Baltimore, a beautiful garden located on the grounds of a Victorian manor house, including formal gardens, mature trees, and meandering pathways. It is a very peaceful and romantic setting in Baltimore. This garden offers a contrast between formal garden layouts and natural wooded areas, giving you both in one place.

Inner Harbor

Baltimore's famous waterfront has tall ships, the city skyline seen in reflections on the water, and the unmistakable atmosphere of Baltimore whether during the day or at night. The old ships that line the waterfront give the place a certain charm that cannot be found in a regular city port.

Federal Hill Park

Federal Hill Park is located at the top of a steep hill on the southern side of the Inner Harbor, offering visitors an incredible view of the skyline of Baltimore. The park is rather tiny, containing some benches, cannons, and a walkway along the hillside. There are hardly any people there in the early morning; however, in the evening hours, many tourists visit the park.

Mount Vernon Place

Mount Vernon Place comprises four little squares that surround the Washington Monument in the Mount Vernon district. There are fountains, sculptures, and manicured gardens on the squares, which are encircled by old brick houses and churches. It has an idyllic, almost continental atmosphere despite being located in the center of the city. The place looks particularly beautiful in the spring and during the holidays, when the monument is illuminated.

Lovely guy, made planning and executing the big day an absolute breeze. He was flexible, responsive and super helpful. The photos are INCREDIBLE too, totally exceeded expectations.

★★★★★
I wish I could give 10 stars. He was a true gentleman in getting my fiancée to calm down after I had just proposed, and he constantly had us laughing while giving us instructions.
