1. Style: Surprise Proposal

This is the go-to choice for pure surprise and raw emotions. Our photographer will pose as a passerby or tourist at your chosen location. Once you arrive, they’ll ensure the area is clear, the view is perfect, and that you’re ready. When everything is in place, they’ll casually approach or give a subtle signal like:

“That looks great. I’m ready.”

That’s your cue to get down on one knee. From that moment on, the photographer switches to pro-mode, capturing every single reaction — forever.

When you book with us, we’ll plan the location, decorations, and any add-ons together.
On the big day, our photographer will guide you with GPS coordinates to make sure you’re in the right place. They’ll also keep you updated with photos and videos, so you don’t miss a thing!

Pros:

• Your partner will be genuinely surprised

• Your partner may not be dressed for a photoshoot

2. Style: Photoshoot Proposal

This option feels like a styled couple session… until the big reveal. Suggest to your partner that you’re booking a photoshoot to celebrate your time in Budapest. During the shoot, the photographer guides you casually through poses. Once the perfect spot and lighting are in place, the signal comes:

“We’re actually ready now.”

That’s when you go for it. This style makes sure everything — from outfits to angles — is picture-perfect.
