Paris Proposal Photographer – English-Speaking, 2,000+ Proposals Since 2013

No, your partner will never suspect we’re there. We arrive 15-30 minutes early and position ourselves discreetly. In public spaces, our photographers blend in as tourists, while for private venues like rooftops, castles, or boats, we remain entirely out of sight until after the “YES.”

Our photographers use their experience to capture everything without distraction. We’ve photographed over 2,000+ proposals and have developed exceptional awareness to anticipate the unexpected, adapt quickly to changing situations, and confidently capture all your reactions.

Our Paris proposal photography starts at €300 for our Essential package. This includes pre-arrival preparation, 60 minutes of continuous coverage, and 20 professionally edited, high-resolution images delivered in a private online gallery.

Our most popular Signature package is €550 for 120 minutes with 45 edited images.

For evening shoots concluding after sunset, we add a lighting associate at €100/hour to ensure optimal photo quality in low-light conditions.

We can customize any proposal package with extended coverage, videography, violinist accompaniment, champagne and rose delivery, luxury transportation, and more.

For full-service proposal planning, our sister company provides exclusive access to Paris’s finest venues and vendors with completely custom experiences.

Yes. After understanding your vision and preferences, we’ll recommend ideal Paris locations based on 15 years of experience. We consider factors such as lighting, privacy, crowds, backup weather options, and photo potential.

We monitor weather forecasts closely, and so should you. We typically proceed during light drizzle. For heavy downpours, we’ll reschedule if your photographer is available—usually at no rescheduling fee (unless it shifts from daytime to evening, where a lighting associate becomes necessary).

For peak season (April-October) and holidays, book as soon as possible to secure your preferred date, time, and the best vendors. Off-peak months offer more flexibility, but early booking ensures a stress-free planning experience and maximum vendor availability while allowing you to coordinate other essential elements like hotel reservations, dinner bookings, surprise activities, and onward travel.

As one of the most experienced proposal photography studios worldwide, we can typically accommodate last-minute requests—contact us to check availability.

You’re in excellent hands with our photographers, whose experience and interests align with yours—we all want a stress-free, fun, fantastic experience with beautiful photos.

Preparation is key, and we’ll guide you through the essentials: taking your time during this important experience, optimal positioning, speech pacing, proper posture when you drop to one knee, ring placement technique, and those important first minutes afterward when you should focus on each other, not the camera.

Remember to unbutton your jacket beforehand, stay on your knee for 30-45 seconds, and use the two-step ring placement process we’ll teach you. Most importantly, embrace the experience—the adrenaline is natural, but slowing down creates better photos and more meaningful memories.

Most outdoor Paris locations don’t require permits for small-scale proposals. However, at some public spots (occasionally the Seine River area across from the tower and near Pont d’Iéna), you may be asked to produce a permit.

Even if you obtain a permit—which is difficult, time-consuming, and expensive—you may still be interrupted during your proposal and asked to show documentation. While you’d be technically legal, this would disrupt the romance and experience.

If privacy is important to you or your partner, consider investing in a private setting like an exclusive Eiffel Tower rooftop or private boat rather than navigating the permit process for public spaces.

You’ll typically receive 3-5 preview images within a few hours to share the wonderful news. The complete unedited gallery is delivered within 24 hours via a private online gallery.

Reach out to our team for availability and to request a booking link. Secure your date with a 50% retainer, and the balance is due by your proposal date. We accept credit cards, PayPal, and occasionally cash.

For full-service planning, you can request a complimentary consultation with one of our experienced English-speaking planners.

For public locations: Sunrise offers the best combination of golden light and fewer crowds at popular spots like the Eiffel Tower.

For evening proposals at public locations: Since crowds are inevitable at popular spots, focus on optimal lighting options:

— Golden hour (last 20-30 minutes before sunset)
— Exactly when the Eiffel Tower sparkles (on the hour)
— Blue hour (20-30 minutes after sunset, depending on season)

Important considerations: Coordinate your timing with dinner reservations and consider seasonality, as winters have late sunrises and early sunsets, which affect your options.

For private locations: Crowds aren’t a concern, so timing depends on your preferred lighting and dinner plans.

We’ll help you balance all these factors based on your chosen location, season, and evening plans.

Yes, you have the option to purchase all unedited high-resolution pictures at Euro 100/hour of photography coverage.

Our photographers almost never cancel due to illness – it would need to be truly serious. In over a decade, this has rarely happened because we understand how much time, preparation, and resources you’ve invested in this day.

Our studio includes 4 very experienced proposal photographers as backup
— We maintain excellent relationships with peer photographers of similar expertise who could assist
— In the very rare case where no replacement is available, we provide a full refund

The reality is this situation is extremely uncommon, but we’re prepared with multiple options to protect your important day.
