Paris Proposal Photographer – A Winter Surprise Proposal at the Trocadero/Eiffel Tower

It all started off with a quick email from A about her and her boyfriend coming to Paris. They just wanted a few beautiful portraits of them by the tower, and maybe one or two for the wall. I love sessions like this, even though it was an overcast and cold day at the Trocadero, the Eiffel Tower was still SO beautiful in the distance, creating the perfect backdrop for iconic Paris portraits.

I love how big theyโ€™re smiling in this one! Dancing in front of the Eiffel Tower, does it get any better?! - Paris Photographer, Katie Donnelly

WELL, J HAD SOMETHING IN STORE FOR A!! About 10 minutes before the end of their quick mini session, he got down on one knee and asked A to be his forever.

I mean, come on. We all had tears in our eyes and smiles from ear to ear!!

THE!

PERFECT!

PROPOSAL!

Iโ€™m still smiling, lets be honest!

When they came in to the studio the next day to view their portraits and choose what theyโ€™d like for their wall, they fell in love with our Artisan wall collection. 3 stunning pieces of art on fine art gallery canvas. I canโ€™t wait to see what it looks like on their wall! Every day they get to relive this incredible life changing moment.

Did I mention I still canโ€™t stop smiling thinking about them?? I always say it and I always mean it, we have the absolute BEST clients ever. They are good, loving people. A+J, thank you for trusting us with this big life moment, we are so honored to be a little part of documenting your adventure together.

Ex: We are coming to Paris this spring at the end of March and it's our first time! We don't often travel so this is really big for us. I've been a Francophile since I was in my teens and have always dreamed of coming. I'd love this for my family and especially to be able to relive this special trip everyday on my walls with an art piece! My kids are 2, 5 and 9. Crossing my fingers and toes to be chosen!!
