Pap the question!

Smithklein Gallery is very happy to announce that we are among the jewelers listed on the www.papthequestion.com website!

Not too long ago, a man came into the gallery and asked if we might help him create the perfect setting in which he could propose to his fiancee. We were thrilled to assist, so we got together and started plotting. In the end, we hung a blank canvas, put flowers out and set the ring on a pedestal under the canvas. The title of the blank piece of work had something to do with the future, the idea that it's a blank canvas that the two of them can paint together. We secretly took photos and filmed the event. It was really fun and exciting not just for the lovely lady receiving the engagement ring, but for everyone in the gallery. The proposal went off without a hitch, and the happy couple now has photos and a video of the wonderful occasion.

With Pap the question, this kind of special affair can now be captured by professional photographers and videographers.

From their website, here is how it works:

  • We will spend as much time as you need to go through the planned proposal so we know exactly where and when you will be coming. Having talked with you, we will know where to be positioned and will get pictures of you and your partner as you build up to the proposal. Then as you arrive at your perfect location for the proposal, we will be in place to capture the occasion.
  •  With cameras snapping we will record the reaction and the "YES"! As you take time to put the ring on their finger we will capture this special moment for you and your partner to look back in years to come and smile.
  •  As you walk away smiling and looking at the ring we take some after shots. All of this is done without any knowledge of us being there.
  •  We then edit and send you the proposal prints and a DVD of the images so you can always remember the amazing moment. Friends and family can then share, smile and celebrate your announcement on our website and facebook page.
