Planning to propose in London? Why not have photos of this amazing moment to enjoy for years to come!
Planning to propose to your partner in London? Exciting times! London is an incredible city to pop the question, surrounded by a rich history, culture, diversity and an amazing energy.
Photographing your proposal will allow you to relive this special moment for years to come and share it with your family and friends. The experience I offer goes beyond photographing your proposal, helping you find the perfect location and offering advice on how things like time of day can affect your experience.
I’ve been so lucky to be invited to photograph many of these incredible moments in a couple’s journey together. Each time makes me feel honoured and reminds me what an amazing job I have.
“I surprised my fiancée with an engagement shoot on the day we got engaged and Matt was able to capture the happiness of that day in so many of the photos. He simply let us be ourselves in front the camera giving us exactly what I was hoping for! Thanks Matt!”

Can the proposal be photographed in secret?
Of course! Every proposal I photograph is in secret. The proposal is a special moment between the two of you. Something that shouldn’t be interrupted or distracted from by anything, especially the photos.
I have a few tricks up my sleeve to go unnoticed (happy to share when we chat) and to date I have a perfect track record of my presence never being noticed by the partner being proposed too.

Light wise, if you wanted to make the most of the best light, the few hours after sunrise and just before sunset offer the nicest light. The midday sun is a bit harsh.
If you’re worried about too many people being around, the mornings are typically quieter than the evenings. However, this may vary per London location.
We can discuss all of this on our call together.
London has so many awesome places for proposals and I’d be happy to recommend some based on your characters/interests and what you’re looking for.
First though, it’d be great to know if there were any specific locations you’d like to propose. Maybe somewhere that has meaning to you or somewhere you enjoy hanging out as a couple.
We can discuss this and more on our call together.
You’ll receive your photos within 5-10 working days after your shoot in your private online gallery.
You are not alone. Most people feel the same way and I’m no exception. I purposely keep my approach during engagement shoots relaxed and fun to make you feel at ease. If you’re really nervous before your engagement shoot we could always grab a quick pint and chat before hand to get you in the mood. You would not be the first :)
Really it’s up to you. The only advice I offer is to wear something that you feel comfortable in. For example, wear shoes that you’re happy to walk around in for a couple of hours and if it’s cold, wrap up warm. If you feel uncomfortable during the shoot, not only will it not be as fun but it may also show in the photos.
Absolutely. Although the majority of proposals I photograph are in London, I do on occasion travel further afield (both within the UK and overseas). So if you would like to go on a little adventure and do your proposal outside of London, let me know :)
Please note that in these cases I do charge extra to cover my expenses.
