The base rate for Paris surprise proposals is 475€.  It also includes a 35ml bottle of fine French champagne + 2 glasses to toast your engagement! You can also add on a beautiful engagement session the next day, which is a great way to celebrate your engagement. Your images will be ready in just 24 short hours, not sneak peaks, but the beautiful finished images. 

The best location is the Eiffel Tower Riverside location if you'd like a really close view of the Eiffel Tower. If you don't require an Eiffel Tower view, the Tuileries Gardens, Luxembourg Gardens and Montmartre are also other lovely locations. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out!

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. I offer morning proposals from 7:00 am to 10:00 am. 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 offer evening proposals from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm, depending on the season. 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.

I do not offer video services, however, there are a number of videographers I could put you in touch with. Also, 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!

The types of proposals I do are very natural, casual and take place while the couple is on a walk somewhere, usually to dinner and are passing by the Eiffel Tower. If you'd like to do something more elaborate, you have a number of options. I can suggest contacting Les 
Entremetteuses. They help plan and execute more elaborate proposals, on rooftops for example.

My proposals are only conducted in public places and not in restaurants or private balconies or rooftops

You'll be walking along with your loved one, somewhere in Paris, usually with a view of the Eiffel Tower, very often you'll be going to dinner. You'll pass by the Eiffel Tower, for example on one of the many bridges of Paris, and stop to 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!

I only offer 45-minute proposals because in my many years of experience I've found this to be best. Your loved one will be in a state of shock and surprise, and not necessarily ready to do a longer photo session. A 1-hour engagement session can be done the next day to capture your joy and ensure your loved one is ready to be photographed! A proposal of 45-minutes also allows you to enjoy your champagne!* (non-alcoholic champagne also available or cider)

Yes, my main offering is the Surprise Proposal Collection, which is for 45 minutes. This is the moment when you get on one knee, I'll photograph your proposal and we'll do a mini session afterward after you have a champagne toast.

Then, the next day, in another beautiful Paris location, such as the Louvre, for example, we can have a beautiful 1-hour engagement session. Your fiancé(e) will love it and you'll even have engagement photos from Paris for your wedding Save-the-Date cards! WIN-WIN!

Your surprise proposal images are ready in just 24 HOURS! This is the FASTEST service in Paris. These aren't sneak peeks or proofs, no! They're the real deal, each image I capture of you, 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 create beautiful prints right from your gallery!

If your plans change for any reason, there is a non-refundable retainer of 150€, but anything you've paid over that amount will be refunded. I ask for at least 72-hours notice of cancellation. 

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 Paris, you're making the best decision, and I can't wait to capture these memories for you to have forever!
