Wedding proposal

A marriage proposal on a deserted beach.

This super romantic marriage proposal began with finding the perfect location. The proposal had to take place on a secluded beach that was not visible from the road, so that his future fiancée would not discover the special and romantic surprise that awaited her until the very last moment.

Collaboration with Nori & Sea.

The marriage proposal was organized in collaboration with Nori & Sea. I provided the wedding gazebo, where the proposal would take place, a wine cooler filled with ice and a bottle of bubbly to toast with right away, as well as the decorations around it. Nori & Sea provided an atmospheric picnic, where the couple would enjoy a delicious meal after the marriage proposal, again with bubbles to toast again, and refreshing drinks. We wanted this newly engaged couple to be able to reminisce together after the romantic proposal, in their own bubble, enjoying a private dinner overlooking the sea and a beautiful sunset. Together we made sure that everything matched perfectly in terms of atmosphere, styling and look.                                                                                                                                The build-up to the moment.

As everything was ready and the time of their arrival approached, the excitement was palpable for all of us. Finally the car arrived, and we hid ourselves so that we were not visible, but could still catch something of this super romantic moment. A professional photographer had been hired to capture this special moment. As the sun was about to set, he knelt in front of his beloved and asked the question of questions. The answer was a resounding ‘yes’!”
