How do you keep the proposal a surprise?

I arrive early and blend in among the visitors with my camera; we agree a discreet signal beforehand. I capture the approach, the question and the reaction naturally, then we do relaxed couple portraits (Classic and Premium packages).

We monitor the forecast together. If conditions aren't ideal, we can adjust the time, choose a more sheltered location, or reschedule at no extra cost.

Travel inside Nice and to Villefranche-sur-Mer is included in every proposal package and portrait session. For proposals, Classic also includes Èze, Cannes and Antibes, and Premium includes Èze, Cap Ferrat, Monaco, Cannes and Antibes. Other locations: ask me on WhatsApp. Monaco requires 15 days' notice.

How long until I receive my photos?

For a marriage proposal, your edited photos are delivered to your private online gallery within 7 days. Yours to keep and share.

How does the deposit work?

Message me on WhatsApp to confirm your date, then secure it with a 50% deposit.

Can I contact you without my partner knowing?

Yes. We arrange everything over WhatsApp, with complete discretion.

The plan

Every proposal includes the full plan: location and timing, a hiding spot, a secret signal and a rain plan B.

“Planning a surprise proposal can be nerve-wracking, but he was incredibly helpful from start to finish […] and even arrived before our scheduled time to make sure everything was perfectly set up.”Atakan · Google · August 2026

Example planClassic · 1 h

Spot & time: We choose them together: sunrise for empty viewpoints like Castle Hill, golden hour for warm light by the sea.
Where I hide: I arrive early and blend in with the visitors. She sees a tourist with a camera.
The signal: A gesture you choose. When I see it, I’m already shooting.
Plan B: If the forecast turns, we move the time, switch to a sheltered spot or reschedule at no extra cost.
After the yes: A relaxed couple session nearby. Edited photos in your private gallery within 7 days.
