A Picture-Perfect Proposal at Michigan Central: Parrish & Chelsea’s Big Moment

Parrish had been planning this moment for weeks. On Saturday, June 7, 2025, in front of the grand and iconic backdrop of Michigan Central Station, he got down on one knee to ask his long-time girlfriend Chelsea to marry him. It was a busy afternoon in Detroit, but time seemed to stand still in that perfect moment.

Two weeks prior, Parrish had scouted the location with us, making sure every detail was just right. From the timing to the positioning, he had a clear vision—and we were so honored to help bring it to life. With their six-year anniversary just around the corner, Parrish decided to celebrate early—and in the biggest way possible.

In order to kill some time and make sure they arrived at just the right moment, Parrish walked with Chelsea all along the beautifully renovated grounds of Michigan Central. From the gardens to the walkways, the two took in the scenery, all while Parrish was quietly preparing for what came next.

As they reached the agreed-upon location—framed perfectly by the station’s massive columns and intricate windows—Parrish paused, turned to Chelsea, and dropped to one knee. The look on her face said it all—pure surprise, overwhelming joy, and the unmistakable sparkle of love.

After she said yes (of course!), the two shared hugs, kisses, and plenty of laughter as we captured every moment of their just-engaged bliss. The historic setting gave the moment a timeless, cinematic feel—fitting for the love story these two have built over six wonderful years.
