Specialising in capturing authentic proposal moments across Cornwall's most scenic locations, our proposal photography service combines discreet documentation with strategic composition. We offer location scouting at beaches like Holywell Bay, cliff paths near St Agnes, and historic sites like Tintagel Castle. The service includes pre-proposal planning, timing advice, and post-session editing. Clients receive a curated selection of images that preserve both the surprise element and emotional reactions, with options for drone footage and sunset timing.
