Proposal photographers in Paris

A surprise proposal at sunrise on the Trocadéro, in the Luxembourg Gardens or on a bridge over the Seine: find a photographer who stays out of sight, captures the yes and then photographs you as a couple.

Before your proposal

  1. Pick the spot and time

    At sunrise, the Trocadéro, Bir-Hakeim or Palais-Royal are almost empty.

  2. Agree on a signal

    Hidden nearby or posing as a tourist, the photographer waits for a gesture agreed in advance.

  3. Have a plan B

    If it rains, a covered spot or another date, set with the photographer without giving anything away.

  4. Keep going after the yes

    Plan time for a couple session right after, while the emotion is still there.

Your questions

Will my partner spot the photographer?

Rarely. The photographer shoots from a distance or blends in with the tourists photographing the landmarks. Agree on the details beforehand in your messages.

How far ahead should I book?

A few weeks ahead is usually enough. For a sunrise or a weekend in spring or summer, contact the photographer earlier.
