How it Works
01 Book Your Shoot
Choose your photographer, date, starting time, and package. All our proposal photographers are experts with unmatched proposal coverage experience in Paris. However, there are differences in style and costs—check out their bios, portfolios, and reviews here (link to the artists index page). Secure your booking with a 50% retainer payment once photographer availability is confirmed. Our team will send you an online booking link. We have a flexible cancellation policy up to 10 days before your event.
02 Plan & Prep
Your experience begins with a consultation in English or French to prepare you for success with detailed guidance on speech pacing, optimal positioning (down to rear foot placement), and timing strategies. You’ll get GPS coordinates, lighting recommendations for optimal timing (sparkling tower, blue hour, dinner plans), and crowd insights. We cover positioning for her best side, how to manage your jacket so it doesn’t bulge, and ensuring the ring shows clearly when you place it on her finger.
03 Day-Of Photography
We arrive early to scout optimal angles and stay discreet. We remain largely undetected while documenting your approach, heartfelt speech, knee drop, ring exchange, and her initial reactions and kisses. Then we transition to those bigger-than-life shots—the champagne pop (save-the-date material!), your first toast as newly engaged, editorial lifts, dips, and romantic twirls while you’re both on cloud nine. We’ll capture the essential ring shot and parent-pleasing portraits guaranteed to claim prime real estate on mom’s prized gallery wall.
04 Engagement Photos & Delivery
Depending on your package, we continue at Paris’s stunning locations—the Louvre courtyards, Palais Royal gardens, Montmartre cafés, or the Notre Dame area. Since the proposal is behind you, you can relax and enjoy being newly engaged. The kisses feel sweeter, the smiles more natural—ideal for capturing engagement photos you’ll need for your wedding website, save-the-dates, and reception displays. Within 24 hours, you’ll receive a private gallery with all unedited photos. Select your favorites for professional editing, and your high-resolution images arrive within two weeks.

FAQ
Welcome to our FAQ! We’ve addressed the most frequently asked questions about our Paris proposal planning services. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, feel free to reach out—we’re always here to help!
Will my partner know you’re there, photographing?
No, your partner will never suspect we’re there. We arrive 15-30 minutes early and position ourselves discreetly, blending into public spaces as tourists taking phone photos, chatting with our photography associate, or reading a newspaper. Our professional photography equipment lets us capture intimate details from optimal distances without any intrusion or distraction. We’ve photographed over 1,200 proposals and have developed exceptional awareness to anticipate the unexpected, adapt quickly to changing situations, and confidently capture all your precious reactions.
How much does a Paris proposal photographer cost?
Our Paris proposal photography starts at €300 for our Essential package with Juliana or Scander. This base package includes pre-arrival preparation, 60 minutes of continuous photo coverage, and 20 masterfully edited, high-resolution images delivered for digital download in a private online gallery.
Our most popular Signature package is €550 for 120 minutes with 45 edited images.
For evening shoots that conclude after sunset, we require a lighting associate at €100/hour to ensure optimal photo quality.
We can customize any Paris proposal package with extended photography coverage, adding a videographer or violinist, hand-delivering champagne and long-stemmed roses, organizing luxury transportation, and more.
For full-service proposal planning, our sister company specializes in custom solutions and offers exclusive access to Paris’s finest venues and vendors while inspiring you with unique ideas.
Will you help me choose the perfect proposal spot?
Yes. After understanding your vision and preferences, we’ll recommend ideal Paris settings based on 15 years of experience. We consider lighting, privacy, crowds, backup weather options, and photo potential to suggest 2-3 perfect locations for your specific proposal style.
What happens if it rains on my proposal day?
We monitor weather forecasts closely and contact you 48 hours before to discuss options. We can: 1) Proceed with beautiful rainy Paris photos (umbrellas provided), 2) Adjust timing to avoid precipitation, 3) Move to our curated list of stunning indoor locations, or 4) Reschedule if your itinerary allows—with no rescheduling fee.
How far in advance should I book?
For peak season (April-October) and holidays, book 2-3 months ahead to secure your preferred date and time. For off-peak months, 3-4 weeks’ notice is typically sufficient. Last-minute requests can sometimes be accommodated—contact us to check availability.
What should I do to prepare for the proposal?
We’ll provide a detailed preparation guide after booking. Key points: 1) Practice kneeling in your planned outfit, 2) Position the ring box for easy access, 3) Memorize our agreed-upon location and landmark, 4) Have a simple phrase prepared to signal when you’ve reached the spot. Our pre-proposal call covers all these details.
Do I need permits for my Paris proposal?
Most outdoor Paris locations don’t require permits for small-scale proposals. However, some spots like private rooftops, luxury hotels, or indoor venues may need permission. We handle these arrangements for Premium and Luxe packages and provide guidance for Classic packages.
How quickly will I receive my photos?
You’ll receive 3-5 preview images within 24 hours to share your news. The complete gallery is delivered within 7 days via a private online gallery with downloading and sharing capabilities.
How do I book, and what’s the payment process?
Click “Check Availability,” select your package, and confirm with a 30% deposit. The balance is due 14 days before your proposal date. We accept credit cards, PayPal, and bank transfers.
