London Proposal Photographer
I specialise in helping you plan your London proposal experience while taking beautiful & emotion-filled photos of this special moment in your journies together.
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 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 far beyond photographing your proposal. As a London local, I’ll help you find the perfect location for you and offer personalised tips and advice on how to make it an incredible experience.
I’ve been honoured to photograph many of these incredible moments in couples’ journies together, including a lot travelling to London from overseas.
"Choosing Matt as our proposal photographer was one of the best decisions I ever made!!
His guidance and advice in the planning process were matched only by his kindness, relaxed energy and warmth during the shoot itself.
Matt helped us to create and preserve a moment that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Not to mention his fantastic photography skills!”

"I would give Matt 10 stars if I could!
My partner and I had the best time with Matt for our engagement and our photos look amazing!
Matt went out of his way to provide directions since I travelled from the US to London, he was open to hearing my ideas, had great suggestions, and provided encouraging words and calmed my anxiety (I was a nervous wreck). He guided me throughout the entire process and what I loved most was that he shared with me the importance of being present.
My partner was shocked and it could not have been a better experience. Matt was kind, cracked a few jokes to relax us, and gave perfect direction.
Thank you Matt! Hopefully, we will be utilizing your services again ;) “

Can the proposal be photographed in secret?
100%. Every proposal I photograph is in secret. The proposal is a special and intimate 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 to.

Real London Proposal Stories
Can you help me plan my London proposal?
Absolutely. Most of my clients are visiting London from overseas (often for the first time), so helping to plan your proposal is a big part of the experience I offer. As a London local and proposal photographer, I am in the perfect position to help.
Included in my proposal package is a planning call, which is held over Zoom. I use this to better understand your vision for your engagement, before recommending locations, time of day etc and providing advice to help create the perfect experience for your proposal. I also share a technique most of my clients use to avoid your partner’s suspicion and keep it a complete surprise.
London is a fascinating city, with so much to offer (it was recently named one of the top 3 destinations to visit globally by Trip Advisor). I want to help bring this uniqueness into your engagement.
"Thank you, Matt, for creating these memories for us to cherish for the rest of our lives!
Matt is an absolutely incredible photographer who captured our engagement! His attention to detail, friendliness, passion, and welcoming vibe was so incredibly appreciated on our special day in London.
He made us feel at home and so comfortable during one of the most amazing days and milestones of our lives. We will never forget it and can’t wait to frame and hang up all of the amazing pictures you took. Thank you again!”

"After seeing the pictures, we could not be happier!

FAQs for London Proposal Photography
Do you work with members of the LGBTQ+ community?
Of course, I do. I see and treat all of my couples the same. I have been honoured to capture the engagements of many amazing couples belonging to the LGBTQ+ community over the years.
What if I or my partner are uncomfortable in front of the camera?
You are not alone. Most people feel the same way and I’m no exception. I purposely keep my approach during proposal shoots relaxed and fun to make you feel at ease. Part of this is recognising that you’ve just shared this special and intimate moment together, and I want to give you the space to digest it. The proposal itself, I always photograph in secret.
How many proposals have you photographed?
Over the past 12 years, I’ve photographed over 200 proposals in London. Each one has been such a pleasure and joy to capture.
I got engaged myself a couple of years ago and it was fun being on the other side of the camera for once. The experience also helped me emphathise more with what my clients are going through.
Will having a photographer ruin the surprise?
In capturing over 200 proposals I have never (touch wood) been spotted by the proposee until the proposer waves me over to introduce me. The look of surprise on their faces once they realise this special moment has been captured is always a delight.
I blend into the background, usually playing tourist so that your fiancé wont suspect a thing.
How long after our proposal shoot will we receive our photos?
Within 2 days, I will provide some highlights from your proposal. You will then receive your full set of photos 2 weeks after your shoot in a private online gallery.
What would you recommend we wear?
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.
Do you photograph proposal shoots outside of London?
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.
Can you recommend locations for my London Proposal?
As a London local, I can help you find the perfect fit for your proposal location. Before the big day, we’ll jump on a planning video call to identify the perfect location based on the vision you have for your proposal.
A lot of my couples are coming to London from overseas, many for the first time, and enjoy making the most of my insider knowledge.
