Surprise Proposal Photographer, North Wales & North West

let's start at the beginning

The idea behind secret proposal photography is to photograph something special that’s often not photographed. I've photographed over 30 secret proposals now, in all sorts of diffrent locations. From city centres, to private cinemas, to secluded beaches and picturesque waterfalls - each an everyone has been absolutely perfect...

Just like weddings, every proposal story is different - and I love that! It's a story that is only yours. It's a personal moment that (hopefully) will only happen once in your life. Here are a few proposal stories I've photographed so far...

Lakeside Mountain Proposal in Snowdonia

As far as Erin knew, they were just having a relaxing weekend away with the dogs... Ellen had other ideas and asked me to photograph her proposal.

As a documentary wedding photographer, I'm used to going unnoticed and capturing genuine emotions in the moment. In fact, my whole approach to wedding photography is about blending in with the action without controlling it or getting in the way.

So, if you're considering asking your partner to marry you, then send me a message, I'd love to secretly photograph your proposal!
