« Exceptional customer experience during a photoshoot for a marriage proposal in Paris, France. »
The photoshoot was meticulously prepared in advance, alleviating much of the stress associated with the event. I am extremely grateful for Maryem’s professionalism, as she managed to capture and frame this magical moment, which will remain unforgettable for me.

Maryem, Your French
photographer
Discreet, emphatic and sociable, the right trio of qualities for photographing a marriage proposal! I am in my element both to guide you during a couple session but also when it comes to withdrawing and making myself (even more) small to let you savor the moment, when you put the knee down.
A proposal is such an important moment in the life of a couple, a magical moment so strong in emotions, that it is essential for me to have several exchanges with you in order to understand your expectations and to modulate my presence according to your desires.
I particularly like talking with you about how you imagine yours, and what I can do to help you feel as calm as possible when the time comes.
Your proposal in
Paris photographed
You may not be a model or an actor, being in front of the lens of a professional photographer should not add stress to you when you propose to the chosen one of your heart.
This is why I generally offer you two possibilities for organizing the « photo session » which will allow you either to be used to my presence at the time of the proposal, or not to be aware of my presence during your proposal in Paris.

Let your special someone know about the photo shoot by gifting it as a surprise during your vacation in France, for a birthday, or simply to create beautiful couple memories during your stay in Paris!
- This approach can help everyone feel more relaxed during the session.
- It ensures you’ll come prepared for the shoot: with outfits, makeup if desired, and styled hair! I have make up artists available in Paris for you.
- During the couple’s session, I’ll help you both feel at ease with fun little games, I’m experienced in photographing couples.
You can present the engagement ring at the beginning, in the middle (once you’re comfortable), or near the end of the session (to have time to capture all those beautiful emotions).
You’ll give me a little secret signal to announce when the proposal is coming.
This makes the whole organization of your proposal in Paris so much easier.

You don’t want your special someone to know there will be a photographer because you think they might suspect something? In that case, ask me to be present at the proposal location and blend into the background.
- We’ll plan together to ensure the best positioning based on the location and time of your proposal so that the light perfectly highlights the moment.
- We’ll exchange photos of the exact spot where you plan to pop the question.
- If the location you’ve chosen is busy, I’ll do my best to stay unnoticed… though there is a higher chance of a photobomb! But I also have secrets spots in Paris for you to hide from the crowd.
After the proposal, if you’d like, you can introduce me, and we can continue with a couple’s photo session (known as an engagement session), or we can reschedule it for the next day to give you both time to prepare.
3 tips for successful proposal photos in Paris
1.
Where to propose
When you plan to ask for the hand of your future wife or your future husband in Paris, I suppose you want the most beautiful place possible, so that this moment is memorable. If in addition you plan to take a photographer to immortalize this marriage proposal, you must be doubly careful that the place suits you!
For my part, I think you have to dare to think big: a marriage proposal in front of the Eiffel Tower, a marriage proposal on the Seine, a marriage proposal at the top of Montmartre: the place reflects your history as a couple, your desires and your aspirations! Tell me your desires and I will guide you to the best viewpoints for an idyllic marriage proposal in a bewitching setting.
2.
How to propose
A marriage proposal needs to be prepared, and often my clients like to plan a few little things to make the whole day special in the eyes of their future wife or their future husband: it can be a cruise, a restaurant, a surprise picnic in a park…
In any case, I propose to be the listening ear to whom you will tell all this to advise you and guide you on the choices that will work best.
I can also offer you ideas for an original marriage proposal, whether you are making your surprise marriage proposal in Paris, or even abroad! I am also in contact with event organizers who can guide you to organize a surprise marriage proposal as close to your desires as possible: catering at home, decoration of an atypical place, organization of a dream day.
3.
when to propose
Depending on the place chosen, but also on the organization of your day, you will define an approximate schedule for your marriage proposal. As a photographer, I know the busy times of different places and the small improvements to be made either to avoid the crowd or to get away from it and make it less visible!
But even more important, I will also advise you on a position to adopt for a pretty light on your marriage proposal, depending on the course of the sun on the chosen place, at the chosen time. Unsurprisingly, the two most beautiful times of the day to kneel down and take out the engagement ring are sunrise and sunset!

Testimonial
« We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to document such a special occasion.
We had the most amazing experience with Maryem for our very first photoshoot during our proposal.
From the moment we met, she made us feel completely comfortable, guiding us through every step with ease.
Her direction was so natural, and the whole process was fun and enjoyable.
The photos turned out beautifully.
Highly recommend!
