Casting Call for USA Network's "Don't Tell The Bride" - NYC Wedding Photographer

Hello to my lovely couples engaged! Read on and let me know if you're interested by sending in your story! Is anyone daring enough to let their groom plan the whole wedding in exchange for $20,000 to plan their big day? Sounds very tempting and the hit show "Don't Tell The Bride" has made many couples happy. DESCRIPTION: "Don't Tell The Bride" is currently casting dynamic couples who are currently engaged, but lack the funds to have a dream wedding.  Each episode focuses on one couple’s big day and what it took to make the wedding happen.  The bride and groom agree to avoid all communication with each other for two weeks before the ceremony.  In exchange, the groom is given $20,000 to plan the entire wedding without the bride’s input.  Have no fear; each groom ultimately creates a unique wedding to celebrate his true love!

Casting Requirements: - Must be over 18 years of age - Currently engaged - Willing and able to get legally married between September 2013 – December 2013 - Have a few groomsmen and bridesmaids with big personalities willing to be on the show with you - No long distance or destination weddings.

V + C's surprise proposal - New York, Belvedere Castle

Previously I shared photos from V + C's engagement party, which I couldn't help but share quickly since there were so many eye candy that I know many couples will find useful! Now, here's a peak of the proposal! V +C knew they wanted to get married, but V wanted to surprise C with a proper proposal she will always remember! The theme of the proposal: "Past, Present, Future" and it was a journey into the couple's life together. WIthout C knowing, V planned a brunch with a few family and friends and mentioned that they should stop by the Paris Theater and there C received an envelope with "For Then" written on the front. Then off to the brunch spot representing the here and now and C received an envelope with "For Now" written on the envelope. Pedicabs waited for us outside the restaurant and took us to a ride towards Belvedere Castle! One of the drivers handed C another card with "Forever" on the envelope. After reading her final letter, they walked up to Belvedere Castle and there V asked C to marry her! The ring given to C is actually made by a French designer and during the engagement party is when the lovely couple exchanged rings. Congratulations V + C!!! Here's to a lifetime of happiness!
