Emotional Surprise Proposal In South Bank with a London Photographer

I couldn’t wait to share this emotional surprise proposal in South Bank, captured by Frances recently. Just imagine the scene: a breathtaking London sunrise, the iconic Houses of Parliament as the backdrop, and a love story unfolding. A moment of pure emotion, captured forever by one of our talented London proposal photographers. Join us as we delve into a heartwarming tale of love, surprise, and joy, all set against the stunning backdrop of South Bank.

Tips for an Emotional Surprise Proposal

First, to get an emotional surprise proposal on the South Bank, you need to decide on the precise spot. London has many places where you can propose to your girlfriend. This specific spot is quite unique (see on the map screenshot below) in the sense that is quiet and has the House of Lords as a backdrop. It allows then to take engagement photos in that spot, plus Big Ben is in walking distance for more romantic engagement pictures.

Then, prepare your girlfriend for an emotional surprise engagement with a well thought proposal speech. Talk about the moment you’ve met, about what made you fall in love with her and how your life has improved since you’re together. Also, about why you’d like to spend your life together.

We, as experienced London photographers, believe another aspect to focus on for a successful surprise proposal is the timing. Sunrise and sunset are the moments of the day that are the most romantic. But it can also be the same time of the day when you’ve met. Should you propose in a crowded place or a more secluded one? The exact spot above is pretty quiet. Feel free to get inspired by it.

Finally, if you wish to have the moment captured in images or video, you might consider hiring a professional engagement photographer. What we do here at The Now Time is professional photography. This surprise proposal is just one of the many that we capture all throughout the year in various iconic spots around London. Having the pictures from your engagement in London, will allow you to show to everyone (family, friends) how emotional and romantic your surprise proposal was.
