Proposals

The moment you’ve been planning

Planning a proposal in Cape Town? I’ll be hidden in the right spot to catch the surprise, the happy tears, and the celebration — naturally.

How It Works

01

The Brief

Tell me the venue, the time, and roughly how you plan to do it. I will scout the position so you never notice me. We will also agree on a simple cover story together, so she stays completely in the dark until the moment arrives.

02

The Moment

I position early, stay hidden, and shoot from distance with a long lens. You propose. She says yes. I get every frame.

03

Your Gallery

Edited images delivered within 48 hours via Smash. Ready to share while the moment is still fresh.

Before — She Has No Idea

Before the day we plan it together — we agree on a cover story so she thinks it is just a relaxed couple shoot. On the day I stay completely incognito, working from a distance, so nothing gives it away.

The Question

The moment everything changes.

Tears, disbelief, and the biggest hugs.

The Celebration

Time to toast the news. Most couples bring their own champagne — or sparkling wine, as we call it here. Prefer not to think about it? I can arrange the bubbly, glasses and ice for you as an add-on.

A Mini Couple Shoot

Twenty relaxed minutes — close-ups, wide shots, and a whole lot of beaming.

Choosing Your Location

You choose the spot. Most proposals happen where you are already headed to celebrate — a wine farm, a favourite restaurant, or a view that means something to the two of you. I am happy to work wherever you have in mind. And if you are not sure, I have a few go-to spots I know are beautiful and safe, and I will gladly suggest them.
