Proposal photography — Alicante

I arrive before you and position myself fifteen to forty metres away with a telephoto lens, dressed like any tourist taking in the view. In busy spots like the Explanada or the Castillo de Santa Bárbara viewpoint nobody notices one more person with a camera. We agree in advance on where you'll arrive from so I have the sun and the bay in my favour, and a discreet signal from you marks the start. Your partner only sees you.

I give you a couple of minutes to yourselves — the hug, the tears, the first phone calls — while still shooting from a distance, because that's where the most genuine reactions are. Then I come over, congratulate you and, if you feel like it, we do a calm twenty- to thirty-minute mini-session around the area, whether dropping down to the port or walking the Explanada. Relaxed and with the ring on, that's when the portraits you'll want to frame appear.

It depends on your style. If you want views and grandeur, the Castillo de Santa Bárbara viewpoint with the whole bay behind is hard to beat. If you prefer something elegant and central, the Explanada de España at sunset, among palms, is perfect. And if you dream of something intimate and barefoot, Postiguet beach with the sun dropping gives an unforgettable golden light. I help you choose based on how you picture the moment.

The basic proposal, from €170, includes covering the surprise moment from a distance and a short couple session right after, with a digital gallery of edited high-resolution photos delivered within five to ten days, ready to share or print. You can extend it with more time, a second location, video or a boat ride around the marina — we quote that to your measure when you book, with no surprises.
