Haus of Roses is a Boston picnic company with a proposal package. The scene's ready before you get there: a Marry Me sign, blankets and throw pillows, a fully set table, a floral arrangement and fresh roses on the ground. You meet them at the spot you picked, and they come back to clear it all away when your time's up, usually after two hours.

Still choosing the spot? Our Boston guide has the places that work at sunrise, in the middle of the day, and at sunset.
Nicole Chan left management consulting in 2010 and has been a full-time Boston wedding photographer ever since. She's an introvert and observes more than she speaks, and at a proposal that's most of the job. Planning is mostly done by email, for discretion.
Stephen Whiting has been shooting Boston weddings full time since 2013, and he takes proposals too, which he says he loves for the emotion. He'll work with you in the weeks leading up to it on the location and the light, and make sure the wind won't blow anyone's hair in the wrong direction. On the day he's hidden away at the spot you've agreed on.
Jonathan has photographed 2,500+ proposals since 2012 and has become a go-to name for engagement and proposal photography in New York City. He arrives 30 minutes ahead of you and sends a marked-up selfie so you know exactly where to stand, then blends in like just another tourist. He doesn't start shooting until you're clearly doing your thing, and everything he captures is yours to keep.
