QUESTIONS

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

The rate for Nice surprise proposals is 600€. It includes all planning for your proposal within the city of Nice, 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.

Q. Which location is best for my surprise proposal? Is Nice really a good location? Do you photograph proposals in Eze?

I like Nice best because of its amenities. You have fabulous hotels & other places to stay, as well as great restaurants. Also, proximity to the beach, nice views from Castle Hill, the charm of Old Town and good shopping too. For a surprise proposal that's really a surprise, meaning you're out on a walk before breakfast, or before dinner, let's say, stopping to admire the view and get on one knee in Nice is really special and unexpected. 

Within Nice itself, there are a number of nice spots, most couples prefer Castle Hill, with its views over Nice, but along the boardwalk, beach or marina are nice too. Some couples even love the colorful charm of the old town. 

Remember, Nice and the entire Riviera is very popular with tourists, and no public private proposal can be completely private, but it will be beautiful and memorable.

At this time, I'm focusing on serving clients in Nice, and I'm not serving Eze or any other locations on the French Riviera. 


Q. 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. Evenings are best if you would like to go to dinner after your proposal to celebrate. It's also the best way to make sure your loved one is dressed up for their photos, as they know they’ll be going to dinner and will look great. I do not offer proposals at other times of the day due to the lighting being more harsh mid-day and I try to avoid as many tourists as possible. Keep in mind, as we are in public places, and the French Riviera is world famous and has a lot of tourists, surprise proposals cannot be completely private. If you'd like to arrange a completely private proposal, you'd need to reserve a private space in a hotel, for example

Q. 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!

Q. How does this even work? and why do you offer a 60-minute photography session?

You'll be walking along with your loved one, somewhere in Nice, usually with a view of the sea, very often you'll be going to dinner. You'll pass by the sea for example, or climb up Castle Hill. and stop to admire the view and take a selfie. Then, you'll look your sweetheart in the eyes, say your words, and then get on one knee. I'll be there to capture it all. I will give you directions so you know exactly where to go and can look for me to verify that all is ready for your big moment. It's actually super simple!

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 Nice 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.

Q. 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?

You have some wonderful options! You can order a floral bouquet, champagne & two glasses. My clients really prefer a surprise proposal that's a real surprise, meaning they want something simple--not tons of candles, rose petals, large M-A-R-R-Y M-E letters, they prefer the simplicity and beauty of Nice, and the spontaneity of a surprise proposal here. Therefore, I do not supply floral arches, candles, rose petals etc.

Your proposal includes a mini-engagement session, however if you'd like a dedicated engagement session where your partner will be photo ready, you can book an engagement session the day after your surprise proposal. It's an incredible way to celebrate your engagement!
