All surprise proposals/engagements in Provence are custom designed for you and start at 675€. Your custom package 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. 

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. You will have around 50 images in your gallery and can select your 25 favorites to download. You may also purchase the entire gallery.

In Provence, I really recommend mornings, the earlier the better. First off, it's typically the best light of the day, and there are fewer tourists out. Second, in summer, Provence gets very hot and this can be uncomfortable in the afternoon or even at sunset.

Sunset is gorgeous, but it does get dark shortly after and thus doesn't give us much time to capture other photos of your joy and happiness. As mentioned, it's also usually very warm and can be uncomfortable.

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.

You can toast your engagement with a bottle of find French champagne & two glasses or order a bouquet of beautiful flowers.

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.

If you have more questions, email  at karina@karinaleigh.com, or send 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.

One of the most popular locations for surprise proposals in Provence is the medieval village of Gordes, one of the most beautiful villages in France. Gordes is located just 45-minutes east of Avignon. Other popular places for surprise proposals in Provence includes another medieval village called Les Baux de Provence, just outside of Saint Remy de Provence. 

Some clients love the Roman atmosphere and color of Arles, which is in proximity to Avignon. If you're looking for a sea view but not the French Riviera, the stunning town of Cassis just east of Marseille is perfect and so stunning!

When you work with me, I'll help you select a location that's perfect for you.

If you're interested in a lavender field proposal, the lavender blooms between mid-June and early July only, and is very, very special

I'll send you some location ideas when you contact me, and the most scenic locations are on this page as well. 

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!

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.

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 such as a hotel. Most places in Provence do 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.
