ALL the DETAILS
PROPOSAL Times
Morning proposals at 9:00 am are ideal for the lighting & fewer tourists out and about. Afternoon proposals at 5:00 pm are great as you can go to dinner afterward. However, I work with your schedule!
Meeting Place
All proposal spots are public areas, easy to access from the center of Nice, and are very scenic. I'll send you specific directions and a video so you can't get lost, and I'm always there for you on WhatsApp or SMS with any last-minute questions you have.

FAQ's
What is the Nice surprise proposal photography rate?
The Nice Surprise Proposal photography package is 625€.
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 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.
DO YOU REQUIre A DEPOSIT? what if i need to cancel?
I have more questions, and how can I book with you?
If you have more questions, email me at karina@karinaleigh.com, or send me 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?
Sure! More elaborate setups are possible in privatized locations like restaurants or event venues. These setups are not available in public locations.
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 will be checking in with you 5 days before your proposal with a weather update.
do you offer free planning services, such as giving me location ideas?
I'll send you some location ideas when you contact me, and the most scenic locations are on this page as well. You may also read this article I wrote The Ultimate Guide to Your Epic Surprise Proposal in Nice for proposal ideas & questions. Location and logistical planning are part of my full service custom experience package. Once your date is secured and you're officially my client, we'll go over every detail so that you feel confident and excited about your surprise proposal!
I focus 100% of my energy on capturing high-end still photography. However, I’m happy to help you find a discreet spot to set up a phone/tripod to record the moment, and I can recommend local videographers if you're looking for a full production.
do you offer video?
could i order champagne or a bouquet of flowers?
Absolutely! You can order a bottle of fine French champagne & 2 glasses and for flowers, you'll tell me your budget, which flowers you love & I'll bring the bouquet with me!
To reserve your date, a 250€ non-refundable retainer is requested, and then we begin the fun--the planning process! If your proposal date is in less than 30 days, the full amount will be due at the time of booking. If your proposal date is more than 30 days, then the 250€ retainer will be requested to reserve your date and the balance will be due 30 days before your proposal. You will be invoiced and may pay online by secure credit card.
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 with 72-hours advance notice.
do you offer a full "set up" like marry me letters, flowers, candles, rose petals, red carpet?
No, for those bigger production proposals, you'd want to hire a wedding or proposal planner and you'd need to reserve a private space. Nice does not allow those types of set up in public spots. As most of my clients value a low-key approach to really keep the surprise, and I'm focused on advising you and guiding you on your proposal and capturing the most incredible images of it so you can enjoy it forever.
