Book a Lisbon proposal photographer for surprise engagement shoot
Surprise proposals are always an adventure. At Pictours Lisbon we’re open to creative ideas from our clients and always try to be as flexible as possible in the way we offer our services. We absolutely loved being a part of this secret wedding proposal. Although, we were a bit nervous about the task at hand.
The idea was to pretend to be tour guides in Cascais village for this fantastic Dutch couple. What the lucky lady didn’t know was that our real task was to take “paparazzi” style photos of the surprise wedding proposal.
A summer engagement photo shoot in Cascais with a professional photographer
The setup couldn’t be more beautiful, a fantastic warm sunset with the fishing boats composing the backdrop. In the meantime, came the hardest part, trying to catch the proposal without looking too obvious.
In addition, we had to come up with an excuse to leave. So we tried to hide in a set of palm trees carefully chosen before where we could witness all the action.
But what if someone got the way at the decisive moment? What if the lady to be surprised sees us?
The perfect timing for a surprise engagement photo session
Simon, chatted to us about a month in advance to book this proposal photoshoot. What’s more, is that we had some time to carefully plan the location. Devising a “fake photo tour” of Cascais wasn’t difficult. Just coming up with a valid excuse to leave was tough.
We told the couple that we needed to go back and pay for parking before we continued to the photo tour.
How a Lisbon proposal photographer can help you
Fortunately in the end everything went fine, and this beautiful couple got a memory of Cascais that they’ll remember for the rest of their lives.
If you want to plan an engagement photoshoot we recommend chatting to us at least a month before. We can suggest the best location and time of day for your photoshoot.
