QUESTIONS

What is the Nice surprise proposal photography rate? What do I receive?

The rate for Nice surprise proposals is 625€. It includes all planning for your proposal as well as 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

Your package includes fully edited high resolution images. These images are all edited in my signature beautiful style and are delivered to a personal online gallery.

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!

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.


could i arrange a more elaborate set up, such as bunches of flowers, a red carpet, candles or a marry me sign?

The City of Nice prohibits elaborate set ups in public spaces such as bunches of flowers, candles and big Marry Me letters. As it's not allowed in the public parks or on the beach, you would have to privatize a location such as a yacht or hotel or restaurant for a more elaborate proposal. The best place to start for planning is to hire a wedding planner. If you'd like just a simple bouquet, I can often assist with that.

what if it rains?

We use umbrellas! Or, if we can, and your schedule allows, we can try to shift the time or date to see if we can beat the rain. I will say though that the rain is romantic, so don't worry too much about the rain!

I'LL CAPTURE YOUR PROPOSAL SO YOU CAN REMEMBER IT FOREVER
