What Is This Proposal Photoshoot All About?

This private photoshoot is designed specifically for couples who want to have their proposal captured professionally in Amsterdam. The entire process is about making your big moment as seamless and beautiful as possible. Starting with a pre-arranged meeting point on a canal bridge—facing Galerie Mokum—you’ll meet your photographer, who will be ready to seize the perfect shot at just the right moment.

The session begins with a consultation, where you can discuss your proposal idea and preferred location. If you have a special place in mind outside Amsterdam’s city center, you can request that—additional fees may apply. From there, the photographer will position you at a scenic spot, ready to capture the surprise and the reaction of your partner when you ask the big question.

What makes this experience stand out is the blend of discreet photography and personalized support. The photographer will guide you through natural, romantic poses and candid shots, helping you feel at ease. As a result, you’ll get photos that truly reflect your joy and love, without stiff or staged looks.

The Locations and the Experience

The original meeting point is a lovely bridge over the canals, near an art gallery called Galerie Mokum. This spot offers classic Amsterdam charm, with historic canal houses, gentle water reflections, and a lively yet intimate atmosphere. If you’d prefer another spot—say, a quieter corner or a famous landmark—you can request it, though extra fees may apply.

During the session, your photographer will focus on capturing the emotion in the moment — the surprise, the smiles, and the tears — along with some portrait-style images of just the two of you. You’ll also have a chance to take some portrait shots after the proposal, which are perfect for saving as a memory or sharing on social media.

The photos are delivered quickly, within three working days, via a secure download link. This speedy turnaround is especially convenient if you’re planning to announce the engagement or share the photos during a trip.

How Does It Work in Practice?

The process is simple and well-organized:

• Planning & consultation: Before the shoot, you’ll discuss your idea with the photographer—this helps tailor the experience to your style and preferences.
• Meet & propose: At the agreed time, you’ll arrive at the designated location with your partner, where the photographer will discreetly capture the moment.
• Post-proposal photoshoot: After the big question, you’ll have a few moments to celebrate and then a mini session of posed and candid shots.
• Editing & delivery: Your best photos will be professionally edited and sent to you within three days.

The session lasts between 15 and 45 minutes, depending on your package and availability. This flexibility ensures you can choose a time that fits your plans, whether during a quick trip or a relaxed afternoon.

What’s Included and What’s Not

The fee of $68 covers a private photographer, pre-proposal consultation, posing guidance, and between 9 and 30 high-quality edited photos. This is quite good value considering the professional level of service and the quality of images you’ll receive.

Not included are extras like hotel pickup, your favorite photos (beyond the package), raw images (for an additional fee), or outfit changes (also for an extra fee). You’ll want to plan your outfit and timing carefully to make the most of this experience.

It’s also worth noting that the activity is wheelchair accessible and suitable for private or small groups. If you’re proposing at a location outside the city center, an additional fee may be required.
