Your surprise proposal

The moment you ask. The reaction you will always remember.

A surprise proposal is about more than beautiful photographs. It’s about making sure the moment feels natural and personal. I’ll help you think through the location, timing and the small details, so you can focus on asking the question while I capture what happens.

  • Location and timing guidance We’ll choose a suitable Dublin location and plan around the light, surroundings and the atmosphere you want.
  • Discreet photography We agree on a simple plan beforehand, including where I’ll position myself and how to capture the surprise.
  • Natural portraits afterwards Once the surprise is over, we’ll take relaxed photographs of you together while you’re enjoying the moment.
  • Your own private photo gallery Edited photographs delivered online so you can revisit the proposal and share the memories with the people you love.

We booked a session with Fabrice to commemorate our honeymoon in Ireland, and the experience exceeded our expectations. As it was our first professional photoshoot, we were initially a bit unsure and stiff, but Fabrice quickly helped us feel comfortable and relaxed. He was personable, attentive, and highly professional throughout the session. At one point, when I had set my sweater aside, he thoughtfully pointed out that it would be safer not to leave it unattended and kindly kept it with him instead. I would highly recommend Fabrice to anyone seeking not only beautiful photographs, but also a well-organized, enjoyable, and memorable experience.

Fabrice was great - we had an amazing time on our family photoshoot in Dublin - he made us feel comfortable, and we had fun. We also got a little bit of a history lesson! Highly recommend.

We booked a photo tour with Fabrice in Dublin for a family of 5 (3 adult children) in August 2025. He was great! We met on time and enjoyed introductions, then started looking for our first stop right away. We were to do some stops in Temple Bar but it was 6pm on Friday night and Oasis was in town so the district was packed! We went to the castle and the college instead. Fabrice was very flexible in letting us have artistic freedom (we had some fun ideas) as well as direction so we didn’t have to think about every shot. We recieved our photos in 3 days, they were awesome! Communication is good as well, and we learned more about Ireland and Dublin as we walked. I’d recommend Fabrice as he delivers great value and is a treat to work with!

We had a wonderful experience with Fabrice! He was friendly, flexible, and quickly adapted to the types of photos and locations we wanted. He was very patient with the older members of our group as we moved between spots and did a fantastic job keeping the children engaged throughout the session. We highly recommend this experience and are happy to have these pictures to remember this trip for a long time!

How it works

A simple plan for a genuine surprise

We’ll agree on the details beforehand so you can concentrate on each other when the moment comes.

01

Plan together

Tell me your date and what you have in mind. I’ll help with a suitable location, timing and a simple meeting plan.

02

Keep it natural

One approach is to introduce the session as a couples photoshoot. We’ll start with a few relaxed photographs before arriving at the chosen spot.

03

The surprise

I’ll position you both for a portrait, give you a discreet cue and capture the proposal. Afterwards, we take time for photographs together.

Locations

Where to propose in Dublin

We can choose somewhere that feels right for you, balancing scenery, privacy, walking distance and the time of day.

St Patrick’s Cathedral

Historic architecture and atmospheric surroundings, ideal for a considered city-centre proposal.

Christ Church area

A convenient meeting point for a short photo walk through historic Dublin before the surprise.

Georgian Dublin

Elegant streets and quieter corners for timeless portraits and a more relaxed atmosphere.
