I'm so happy to help you with a step-by-step on how to plan your surprise proposal!
You might be asking yourself: where should I start?
No worries, I got you covered!!!
1. **Envision the Setting**
Begin by envisioning where you'd like to propose.
Whether it’s surrounded by nature, in the bustling heart of the city, against a stunning viewpoint, or at a location meaningful to you both—like a favorite cafe or landmark.
For instance, a memorable proposal I captured took place in front of Pasteis de Belém because the girlfriend adored the iconic Portuguese custard tarts.
2. **Plan the Date and Time**
- Decide on the ideal date and time for the proposal.
Consider - if you are a morning person or if you prefer the evening.
Early morning proposals can benefit from the serene atmosphere of sunrise, while late afternoon offers the golden glow of sunset.
Each time of day offers a different ambiance and lighting.
3. **Find the Right Photographer**
Choosing a photographer whose style matches your vision is critical.
Decide if you prefer posed or candid shots, bright or moody lighting.
Review portfolios to find a photographer whose aesthetic aligns with both your and your partner's tastes.

Photographers can offer invaluable advice on not just the perfect spot but also on the optimal timing and angles for photographs.
