When I say this was a romantic London proposal straight out of a movie, I mean it! Calvin flew Jay and I all the way to London to document this proposal, and wow, did he set the bar high! He rented out the entire Natural History Museum in London, England. Yes, the entire museum!! Tally thought she was heading to a gala for his company, but the second she walked through those massive doors, she realized something bigger was happening. The space was glowing with hundreds of flickering candles, a private musician playing just for them, and that breathtaking staircase that makes you stop in your tracks. Tally had always dreamed of this location, but never thought it could actually happen. Calvin made it happen, and the look on her face says it all!
A Romantic London Proposal to Remember
Every detail was modern, intentional, and dripping with romance. Tally walked through a path of candles with Calvin waiting at the center, ready to drop to one knee. The way she covered her face, laughed through her tears, and held onto him like she never wanted to let go, it was pure magic! And after she said “yes,” they celebrated right there with champagne in the middle of the museum, just the two of them. The space felt so grand and cinematic, but the vibe between them stayed intimate, like the world disappeared and it was only the two of them (plus Jay Dekony capturing video and me snapping photos, of course!).
Why I Love Destination Proposals & This Romantic London Proposal

Sweet Words From Tally
“Honestly, you will NEVER believe what it meant to me to have you both come over to London from AMERICA???!! Like I am actually unwell. For such a special moment, I know it’s wild but I’m beyond attached to the whole memory, the experience, everything. The both of you are so dreamy and I am just actually obsessed! I genuinely have no words. You guys deserve the world. Utterly obsessed with you, your energy, your humor, everything. Love love love you both.”
