the process

How a proposal shoot works

calm, coordinated, completely yours

Two ways it happens

I stay incognito

Your partner thinks it's an ordinary day out. I blend into the crowd like a tourist with a camera and capture the whole proposal from a distance — they won't know I'm there until you want them to.

A surprise mid-photoshoot

You book what looks like a relaxed couple session. Halfway through, you drop to one knee — the surprise is completely real, and I'm right there to catch every expression up close.

  1. 01

    Tell me the plan

    Share the date, your dream location, what your partner loves, and any signal you want to use. I'll suggest light, timing, and angles that work.

  2. 02

    We coordinate the secret

    We choose your approach — me hidden in the crowd, or posing as your photographer for a "normal" shoot — and agree on a small signal: a nod, a phone tap, anything subtle.

  3. 03

    The proposal — captured

    From the approach to the question to the yes, I shoot continuously. Whether I'm across the square with a long lens or right beside you, your partner won't realise what's happening until it does.

  4. 04

    Celebration portraits

    Once the secret is out, we move into a short, joyful mini-session — rings, kisses, laughter, the new fiancée glow.

  5. 05

    Your gallery, fast

    A few teaser images within 24 hours so you can share the news. Full edited gallery within 14 days. A cinematic video clip if you add it on.

    Thank you very much! The photos are so beautiful, we really enjoyed the shooting — you can already save a date for us for next year. We had tears in our eyes when we watched the video. So beautiful.
