New York Proposal Photography | Brian and Caitlin
They “met” online in the beginning of November 2014 and went on their first date on November 19, 2014. Brian had recently moved to Fort Lauderdale and as soon as he met Caitlin he knew it was the start of something special.
Brian was attracted to Caitlin’s kind nature and strong family values. “She will go above and beyond to make everyone around her happy and not ask for anything in return.”
Caitlin was attracted to Brian’s genuineness. “I couldn’t pinpoint what exactly what made me feel that way but I remember going home after our first date and telling my mom and sister what a genuine person he was. There was no doubt in my mind that I wanted to stick around longer to see what this was all about. (His smile wasn’t too bad, either.)”
He knew she was the one after she stuck around and supported him through 8 months of training for an Ironman triathlon. “Being able to share that accomplishment with her was amazing and I knew I she was the only one I wanted to share my life’s accomplishments with.”
“Brian and I make a damn good team. We have the same ridiculous sense of humor and are passionate about a lot of the same things. Life with him these past two years have taught me so much and have been so much fun! What really sealed the deal for me was this past August when something unexpected happened in my family. It was hard to understand what was going on but he understood that he just needed to simply be there for me and he was, more than I could’ve ever asked for. After that, there was no question that we could do this, for better or for worse. ”
“I always wanted to propose on a special trip that we took together. When Caitlin and I decided to take a trip to NY for our 2-year anniversary, I knew it would be the perfect opportunity to propose. We both love being outside and I felt that Central Park offered a great location for the proposal as there would be secluded areas for us to share the private moment together.”
“I worked with James at Paparazzi Proposals. I reached out to him at the end of September to start the planning process. I had the trip to New York already booked and new I wanted to do the proposal in Central Park. James helped suggest a couple different locations within Central Park and I ultimately decided to propose on the hill overlooking Bow Bridge because it was out of the way and fit the private nature of both our personalities. I purchased the ring at JR Dunn Jewelers in Lighthouse Point, FL.”
