THE PROPOSAL EXPERIENCE

The

01. The Connection

It all begins with a conversation. We start by discussing your vision, your story, and what makes your relationship unique. Whether you have a specific idea or need guidance, we take the time to understand precisely what you are looking for. This ensures that we are the perfect fit to bring your dream proposal to life.

02. The Strategy

Once your date is reserved, we begin the design process. We help you select the ideal backdrop—be it a private rooftop with Acropolis views or a secluded beach at sunset. We handle the logistics, map out the best lighting, and coordinate with our creative partners (musicians, florists) to ensure a flawless, stress-free plan.

03. The Big Moment

On the day, you focus on the question, I handle the rest. I will be in position well in advance, blending into the background to discreetly capture the raw emotion, the surprise, and the ‘Yes’ as it happens. Afterwards, we will enjoy a relaxed, editorial-style portrait session to celebrate your new engagement.

04. The Reveal

Your memories are refined into art. Each image is professionally edited in our signature fine-art style to ensure timeless elegance. Within weeks, you will receive a private online gallery to share with family, along with the option to preserve your favorite moments in a handmade, museum-quality album.

The Finer Details

Absolutely! I am not just your photographer; I am your local partner here to help. My “Proposal Experience” includes thorough planning assistance. Once we connect, I will create a list of locations that align with your vision and budget, whether you prefer a cityscape, a quiet nature spot, or a luxurious rooftop. I will manage the timing, lighting, and logistics so you can focus entirely on the moment.

Discretion is the heart of my process. We will plan the exact meeting spot and time in advance, sharing maps and location pins to eliminate any need for communication on the day of the proposal. I use professional camera lenses to capture the moment, appearing as just a tourist or blending into the background. She won’t realize I am there for you until after she says “Yes” and you point me out.

Absolutely! While Athens is a vibrant city, I have spent years discovering hidden corners and private viewpoints that provide stunning backdrops of the Acropolis without the overwhelming crowds of tourists. During our planning phase, I will direct you to these secluded spots to ensure your experience is both intimate and personal.

You’re not alone—many of my clients feel this way! My approach is both documentary and editorial; I focus on capturing real interactions rather than stiff poses. During the proposal, I take a completely hands-off approach. After that, during our mini-session, I provide gentle, movement-based prompts (like “walk towards me” or “whisper to her”) that encourage natural, flattering images without the pressure to pose.

I understand that you will be excited to share the news with your friends and family. That’s why I provide a “Sneak Peek” gallery, featuring 10 to 15 edited highlights, within 24 hours of your proposal. Your complete curated collection will be available shortly afterward, within just 5 days. It will be delivered through a private online gallery in high resolution, along with access to a fine art print shop.
