KARINA LEIGH
Proposal Planning & Professional Photography for THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIVES
Your Photographer + PLANNING PARTNER
I'm Karina — an American photographer who calls the South of France home. Planning a proposal from thousands of miles away is stressful enough on its own, so let's take a few things off your plate: the language barrier? Not an issue. Figuring out where and when to propose? I've got you!
I moved here for the light (and okay, let's not lie, the croissants too) and capturing your incredible proposal is what I do best! Friendly and helpful, I know exactly what you're picturing, and how to make it happen--flawlessly and with very little stress to you!
As a professional English speaking proposal photographer in Provence, I know all the corners of this beautiful region. I know which public locations are quieter than others, which look more beautiful in morning or evening, and the most beautiful spots your partner will love. Here's a sense of what's possible — the exact spot comes once your date is locked in and you've let me know what vibe you're going for.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Provence surprise proposal photography rate?
Provence proposals start at 675€. It includes custom planning, logistics, and photography of your proposal.
When will our photos be ready?
Your surprise proposal images are ready to view in just 72 hours. The full gallery, not just sneak peeks. Fully edited in my signature colorful style, ready to download.
Do you offer free planning help before I book?
Yes — my free proposal guide has location ideas to get you started. Once your retainer has been received, I'll send you directions, a map, video and GPS pin so you don't get lost. Contact me to receive the guide.
Could I order champagne or a bouquet of flowers?
Absolutely. You can add a bottle of fine French champagne with 2 glasses, or a bouquet — just tell me your budget and which flowers you love, and I'll bring it with me.
Do you require a deposit to reserve my date?
A 250€ non-refundable retainer reserves your date, and then we begin the planning process together.
Can we do a big "Marry Me" sign, rose petals, or a red carpet?
Most public spots in Provence don't allow large set-ups like this, and most of my couples prefer the low-key approach anyway — it's what keeps the surprise a surprise. I can bring champagne or a bouquet. For a bigger production, a local proposal planner is the better fit.
How will you find us — will I have to spot you?
No searching required. Before your date, you'll share a photo of the two of you so I already know exactly who I'm looking for. You'll get a specific arrival point and time — I'll already be nearby, blended in like any other passerby with a camera. There's nothing to coordinate in the moment. We make eye contact from afar and when you're ready, you get on one knee.
