Ready to propose in Paris?
It’s time! You’re ready. You have the ring, and now all that’s left is to find the perfect moment to propose.
How does a surprise proposal photoshoot work?
So why not take advantage of a trip to Paris to pop the question?
First, ask yourself in what kind of circumstances you want to propose.
There are two possibilities.
There are two possibilities.
The totally unexpected proposal
The first is the surprise proposal. We agree on a meeting point. Once you’re comfortable, you propose, and I capture the moment like a paparazzi.
It’s possible that people around you might react and even start applauding! Guaranteed surprise effect!
Then we continue the photo session in Paris, and why not finish with a glass of champagne at a café?
Advantage: Total surprise effect.
Disadvantage: Your fiancée might have preferred to wear something else for the occasion. Handling the unexpected (like crowds) can be more complicated.

The hidden surprise during a photo session
The second option is to plan a classic photo session with your fiancée. She will think you’re just taking photos in various places around the city.
However, during the photoshoot, you propose. The surprise remains intact.
Advantage: This allows me to choose the best setting for your proposal.

When is the best time to propose in Paris?
Any season works, of course. However, there are times of the day that are easier to manage.
The ideal time is in the morning, when the streets are not too crowded.

Makeup session
Before the photo session, you have the option to book our professional makeup artist, who will know how to enhance your features.If the photo session is early in the morning, don’t worry—she is used to starting early and will come directly to your hotel.
Our meeting
The big moment has arrived!
I suggest we meet directly on location. Prior to the session, I will send you a detailed map along with all the information about the meeting point.
To make communication easier, we can stay in touch via WhatsApp.
Transportation
Once the photo session begins, we will easily move between the different locations you’ve chosen using our vehicle.
This compact car, ideal for getting around Paris, can accommodate 4 people or 3 people plus my lighting assistant.
If needed, you can change outfits inside the car.
Assistant
Some photos require technical and logistical support. Therefore, it is recommended to have an assistant present. They will look after your personal belongings, take care of all the details, and manage the lighting when I’m working with an off-camera flash. Their presence is almost essential for nighttime photo sessions.
The photoshoot
Beyond the pleasure of posing like a star in the midst of fantastic settings, the photoshoot should remain an unforgettable moment of enjoyment. With his extensive experience, Antoine will make you feel at ease throughout this process. He will provide you with the right advice and ensure that you are always highlighted in a natural way. Passionate about his art and people, Antoine is dedicated to capturing the small, sometimes invisible details that make up your unique personality. The photoshoot is a moment of exchange with the photographer, behind his lens, and with a friendly and caring attitude. His advice will help you achieve photographs that truly reflect who you are.
A little coffee break?
Once the photo session is over, I suggest we celebrate with a coffee break. I’ll take this opportunity to explain the next steps.
Back at your hotel, you’ll receive a sneak peek of the photos. You can share them with your loved ones or post them on social media.
In the following days, you’ll receive a link to view all the photos and make your own selection.
Last tips
Here are some tips to make your photo session in Paris the most exciting moment of your trip:
- Bring something to keep warm (except in summer). Mornings can be chilly at sunrise.
- Travel light. Leave unnecessary items, like your handbag, at the hotel.
- Bring snacks, especially if you’re coming with kids!
- Think about accessories. A bouquet of flowers, sunglasses, a beret, or balloons—fun props will add life to your photoshoot.
- Save your high heels for the photos! Wear comfortable shoes while moving between locations.
