A Luxury Rooftop Proposal for an NFL Couple!

In honor of Football Season ?, I wanted to share AQ Shipley’s beautiful proposal story?⠀ ⠀

REAL PROPOSAL: I’ll never forget the first time I spoke with AQ. Some of my clients call me to bounce around ideas, but in AQ’s case, he had a game plan from start to finish and just needed my help to execute it since he lives out of state.⠀
⠀
The plan was well thought out – a combination of traditional romance with a modern tech twist.⠀
⠀
It makes sense that AQ is so strategic as he’s in the NFL (!!!) and I’m certain the strategy that he uses in sports he applied here in surprising his stunning fiancee (now wife) Shari. AQ knew he wanted privacy, stunning views and lots of space for a top private chef.⠀
⠀
The proposal went down like this – AQ told Shari that they were doing a special shoot for a Food and Wine Magazine (this is the part where I get to practice my acting abilities!) and I was to take some test shots of AQ and Shari out on the rooftop before the food was brought in.⠀
⠀
Just before I was about to take their photo, AQ suggested to Shari, “Let’s take a selfie.” They were dressed up and on a stunning rooftop with a perfect view of the Freedom Tower. Shari and AQ smiled for the Snapchat selfie when AQ’s Bitmoji popped up on screen with him down on his knee proposing to Shari’s Bitmoji.⠀
⠀
I absolutely love the way he blended classic romance with our generation’s modern romance selfie tradition. Jill was shocked and AQ got right down on his knee, just like Bitmoji AQ, proposing to Shari. ?⠀
⠀
How beautiful? Leave a comment if you’d love a proposal like this ❤️? ⠀

Afternoon Rooftop Proposal

PROPOSAL STORIES & IDEAS

Diego’s proposal couldn’t have turned out more perfectly. Initially we had planned on Central Park, but last min Diego decided he’d like the proposal to feel even more intimate. He settled on the rooftop of the Hudson hotel, an awesome choice. I actually used to work at the Hudson Hotel back in 2010-11 shooting the weekly rock n’ roll party Ladyland. It’s a gorgeous hotel if you’ve never been! Diego and Maria live in Brazil and he knew she was taking a trip to NYC, so he decided this would be the perfect way to catch her off guard. Diego told Maria’s family (who were in on the surprise) to go suggest going to the hotel for a drink. Maria didn’t even know Diego he was in NYC! Gotta love a double surprise! When Maria arrived Diego was standing waiting for her. She was stunned! It was like a slow motion moment in a movie, just gorgeous and insanely romantic. They embraced and within seconds Diego was on his knee declaring his love to Maria while her family watched in the background. It was truly moving. Congratualtions to this amazing couple!

Jonathan and Jessyln are a fairytale couple to the max! They live in Orlando home of Disneyworld and Jesslyn is Cinderella at Disneyworld. Jonathan may as well be Prince Charming considering how he pulled off this gorgeous summer rooftop proposal in the center of Manhattan. I had such a great time scheming with Jonathan to make sure everything went according to plan and it did! Jesslyn and Jonathan are blessed to be effortless friends of the camera and their chemistry really comes through in all the photos. We had so much fun coming up with different poses and photo ideas during the engagement part of the photo session. I’m so excited for these two! Congrats!
