Proposal photographer in the Netherlands

Your proposal & engagement photographer in Amsterdam

A (surprise) proposal photoshoot will ensure you immortalize your big moment forever.
To help you on your quest for an indelible moment, I will discretely and candidly capture the beauty of the moment and create unique photos that you both will cherish for a lifetime.

The professional photos from your wedding proposal session will also be perfect to share the news on social media and to illustrate stylishly your save-the-date cards or your wedding website.

If you prefer a more private proposal and to go on your knee without being photographed, this photo session can be planned after the proposal, to capture engagement photos.

If you would like to have a beautiful keepsake of your romantic proposal, contact me to discuss your plans!

A unique and romantic experience to surprise your partner and create an unforgettable memory of your proposal

Two scenarios to capture the YES moment


♡ Proposal during a “regular” couple photoshoot

Surprise your partner by booking a romantic loveshoot in Amsterdam and use the opportunity to propose during the photo session

We will carefully plan the photoshoot and the best moment to go on your knee beforehand. The advantage is that we have full control over the environment and you both can have a good reason to wake up early and beat the crowds for beautiful engagement photos.


♡ Paparazzi proposal in Amsterdam

This type of semi-undercover proposal involves more planning

You cannot tell anything about the photo session to your partner, you will need to come up with a story to allow you both to get ready and nicely dressed without raising suspicion. We will also need to agree on an exact spot, time, and scenario so that I can be close by when you go down on your knee.


Good to know

The 1st scenario is the most recommended option, because Amsterdam is a very busy city, and we are using public spaces, people can walk in, a delivery truck can stop, or an unwanted shadow can appear and ruin the moment.

It is also advisable to plan your photoshoot outside peak hours, early in the morning or in the evening, especially in summer, when the light at the beginning or end of the day is much softer and therefore more favorable.

 

Looking for a unique and exclusive touch?

Would like to surprise your partner with an exclusive and romantic setting in a park? Looking for a glamorous touch or Boho style with rugs, flowers, candles, and why not a bottle of champagne? I will be happy to help you with an unforgettable and romantic layout!

 

 

In any case, I will be there to guide you through all the possible options and determine what suits you best, for a successful and unforgettable session!

I can only say: Melanie is very flexible, dedicated and perfectionistic in her work. She prepares very well and leaves almost nothing to chance.During our wedding preparations we had our first meeting. We got to know her in advance, and she helped us to improve our wedding schedule. Very nice.Several weeks before our wedding, Melanie travelled from Amsterdam to our wedding venues. Together we decided what the best location was for group photo's (in terms of daylight and group size) and for our brides couple photo's. Superb.During the wedding she was Melanie was very energetic and enthusiastic - for over eight hours straight. Her pictures are beautiful, and she even made some small videos for us.We are very happy with the 1700 photo's 🙂

Melanie recently took photos during our party, with great results. I think taking pictures of people dancing in a dark room is the hardest thing there is, but Melanie managed it. And how! All photos razor sharp, people laughing, friends dancing, well lit. Thank you very much for this lasting memory.

For our PR workshop of the German National Tourist Board in September 2020 (corona-proof edition) we worked together with Melanie and were more than satisfied! Melanie is very professional, the planning and communication before the event was uncomplicated and fast. She brings her own ideas, but also pays close attention to what the company wants. The results are really great - Melanie definitely has an unique way of capturing people's emotions. Thanks again for your great work and see you at our next event!
I have worked with Melanie and i strongly recommend her services. She is very responsive, highly professional and always meets expectations. If you are looking for capturing the most important moments of your life in an artistic and highly quality manner - talk to Melanie! She will make sure you get what you are looking for, even if it takes her to roll on a dusty floor so that you and your precious moments are captured in the best light
