The engagement photo session in Villefranche-sur-Mer

After the intensity of the proposal, why not go one step further and offer your future fiancée an unforgettable experience? An engagement session, right after your proposal, is the perfect finishing touch, the one that transforms this moment into an absolutely grandiose memory, engraved forever in your history. The "Instant Engagement" option offers you an extended service for a full one-hour photo session.

It's the ultimate experience, the one that will blow your fiancée's mind and make her realize the magnitude of what she's just experienced. You're not just offering her a ring and a magnificent proposal, you're offering her a day she'll remember for the rest of her life, a moment when she's the queen, when everything is thought of for her, when the emotion, the beauty of the setting and the surprise extend far beyond the moment of the proposal.

The complete experience for an unforgettable day

A wedding proposal is a whirlwind of emotions. She's overwhelmed, moved, ecstatic, and you, after the adrenalin rush, feel immense relief. That's when everything becomes even more beautiful. Once the big question has been asked, why not take the time to savor this moment together, to capture images that are spontaneous, natural and full of happiness?

With a post-proposal engagement session, you can extend this magic by exploring a second location, a different atmosphere, to offer even more variety to your memories.

• If you've made your proposal at the water's edge, with the sea and the horizon as a backdrop, we can then take a stroll through the picturesque streets of old Villefranche, with their colorful facades and warm atmosphere.
• If, on the other hand, you've chosen an authentic, intimate setting in the cobbled streets, we can finish off with a few shots by the water, with the golden light of the setting sun enhancing every moment.

It's the complete experience, the one that transforms a wedding proposal into a day worthy of a movie, where every detail is designed to leave a lasting impression.

Why do an engagement session after the application?

• Because this moment is unique and deserves to be lived to the full.
• Because the emotion is still at its peak, and the images will capture all its intensity.
• Because you'll be more relaxed, more at ease, and the photos will be even more natural and spontaneous.
• Because it's the perfect opportunity to offer her a complete experience that will leave her in awe.
• Because these images will be a priceless treasure, for your invitations, your wedding and your whole life.

It's not just a photo shoot

It's the final act of a grandiose moment, an experience that transforms a simple marriage proposal into a lasting memory, an absolute declaration of love.

Immortalize your wedding proposal on video

In addition to photos, why not capture every emotion on video? A video lets you relive the moment with the voices, the looks, the surprise and pure emotion of the moment she says "I do".

I work with a professional videographer specialized in wedding proposals, who films discreetly to preserve the surprise effect. Using top-quality equipment, he creates a meticulous montage, combining cinematographic shots and soft music to enhance your story.

Why add a video?

• Relive every moment with the intensity of the moment.
• A unique souvenir to share with your loved ones.
• Discreet capture for a natural, authentic look.
