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.

Seattle 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 Seattle 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 Seattle.
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 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.
The entire city of Seattle can be seen from the viewing deck at the Space Needle, including the surrounding water bodies and the distant mountains in the region. This results in an experience that is not only beautiful but historical as well. To be at one of the most iconic spots in the city certainly enhances the occasion, especially if it is on a clear day when the view extends right up to Mount Rainier.
This majestic waterfall of about 270 feet is only 30 minutes away from Seattle and so strong and powerful that it makes an amazing backdrop. Together with the fog from this waterfall and the evergreen forest, you get an awesome atmosphere. This is a great place for people who want to propose to their dear one in style.
This site is located close to Elliott Bay in the city, where you'll find piers, boats, and even see a glimpse of the waters near the skyline. It is the dynamism of the boats that makes each of these pictures lively. This place is convenient as it lets you keep the skyline in the picture.
Harbor Steps is a collection of fountains and steps that links downtown Seattle to the waterfront, surrounded by architecturally beautiful buildings. The fountains and architecture give a sense of structure in the urban setting. It is a very practical downtown choice which looks extremely attractive.
The Arboretum covers 230 acres of greenery, including woodland paths and a lagoon by the water, and may be the most beautiful spot in the whole city. There are just so many varieties of trees and plants that the environment is totally different each season.
Marymoor Park is a large park located on Lake Sammamish, just beyond the city boundaries. It is filled with open spaces, wetlands, and mountains in the backdrop. This is a great park option to relax away from the hustle and bustle of the busy downtown parks.
Pier 57 is an old pier located on the Seattle downtown waterfront by Elliott Bay, near the Seattle Great Wheel. At night, when you are photographing, the lit-up Ferris wheel shines behind you. It is a very vibrant place that is easily accessible.

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.
He knew what he was doing the second he got there. He gave tips on how my brother should have his girlfriend walk through the door, and even got down on one knee himself to make sure the position was perfect. The photos were ready 2 days later.
