How we plan your surprise proposal photos.

Tell me privately

Share your dates, resort, and idea. Tell me whether your partner knows about the photo session, and the safest way for me to reply.

Choose the moment

We’ll agree whether the proposal happens at the start or end of the session. This helps us choose a practical location and a clear approach.

Enjoy what follows

After the question, we can make time for relaxed portraits together. We’ll plan that coverage before the day, so you know what is included.

Choosing where to propose in Bora Bora.

A beautiful location must also work for the plan: light, privacy, access, and a natural reason to be there. Tell me where you’re staying and any setting you have in mind. Private areas, decorations, or resort services must be arranged with the relevant team.

Photo, film, or both?

Photographs keep the expressions and the details. A film can add movement and sound when planned appropriately. If spoken words matter to you, mention this early so we can discuss the audio and the conditions. Your personalized quote sets out the coverage, team, included images, and film deliverables.

Proposal sessions can be planned in the morning, afternoon, or around sunset, depending on your resort and date. We’ll agree on the exact start time and an alternative if the weather changes.

A few details worth sharing.

Keeping the surprise

Use a private email and avoid including your partner in the conversation. Tell me if there are times or contact methods I should avoid.

Resort arrangements

If your plan involves flowers, a private dinner, a venue, or a ceremony, coordinate those with your resort or planner. Photography coverage does not automatically include those services.

If the weather changes

We’ll discuss the options available for your stay. Booking earlier in the trip can leave more room to adjust if heavy rain affects the plan.
