QUESTIONS
What is the PROVENCE surprise proposal photography rate? What do I receive?
The rate for Provence surprise proposals are 675€. It includes all planning for your proposal within the region of Provence, where to propose and when as well as directions on where to meet. It includes up to 60 minutes of photography, to include your proposal and a few beautiful images in the the immediate area, to capture the joy you both feel. Your images will be ready in just 72 hours. I'll also be sending you a list of restaurant recommendations, so that you can celebrate this big event in your lives!
Your collection includes fully edited high resolution images. These images are all edited in my signature beautiful style and are delivered to a personal online gallery.
What's the best time of day for a surprise proposal?
Mornings are best if you’re morning people. If you’re up and about anyway sightseeing, this ensures your proposal is really unexpected. There's also fewer tourists around in the morning, and the light is quite special. It's a bit difficult later in the day due to the heat, strong sun, and a lot more tourists out, but we can work with your schedule!
Do you offer video?
I do not offer video services at this time. Some people like to set up a tripod with their phone for a "selfie" and then just let the video run as they get on one knee, that can work too!
After we determine where your surprise proposal will happen, we'll devise a plan for our meeting place and time. My service is for the surprise proposal itself, plus a mini engagement session afterward in a location nearby to your proposal location, up to 60 minutes of total photography coverage. This is relaxed way to celebrate your engagement, and most people love it, as it gives a chance to relax and unwind. Some couples even use their engagement photos in Provence for their wedding "Save the Date" cards. If you do not wish to have a mini-engagement session after your proposal, no worries, but it's a really fun way to share in the excitement and joy of your engagement.
How does this even work? and why do you offer a 60-minute photography session?
What other services are available to make my proposal special? Do you offer engagement sessions above and beyond the proposal session? How about flower arches, candles, rose petals, balloons?
Depending on your proposal location, you could toast your engagement with a small bottle of fine French champagne & two glasses.
How long before our photos are ready?
Your surprise proposal images are ready in just 72 hours. Each image I capture of you is professionally hand edited in my signature style with care, and uploaded in digital (JPG) format to an online gallery. In your online gallery, you can review your images and download those you love best. You can even download the entire gallery for an additional charge, and also have the option of getting your images more quickly.
What is the cancellation policy?
If your plans change for any reason, there is a non-refundable retainer of 250€, but anything you've paid over that amount will be refunded. I ask for at least 72-hours notice of cancellation.
I have more questions, and how can I book with you?
If you have more questions, drop me a line at karina@karinaleigh.com, or send me a WhatsApp message to 33 07 51 42 35 78. I'll send you a booking link and you can reserve online and pay with secure credit card. As soon as I receive your payment, I'll send you confirmation and loads of useful information.
You're getting engaged in Provence, you're making the best decision, and I can't wait to capture these memories for you to have forever!
Which location is best for my surprise proposal in GORDES?
Most people love a view of the village from the scenic overlook. As a major tourist attraction, it's important to get here early or be patient and wait for people to leave. There are other views of the village, as well as beautiful landscapes all around Gordes if you prefer something more private. You can even propose in front of the Gordes castle or charming town square.
