Lucas & Danielle’s London Surprise Proposal
“I reached out to Stan on short notice to plan a surprise proposal in London and he was amazing to work with. From planning to execution everything went smoothly. He picked an amazing spot to shoot it and walked around London for an hour with us afterwards and the pictures turned out perfect. My fiancé and I couldn’t have been happier with how the whole day went. It was an absolute pleasure getting to meet and work with him on planning a day we will never forget!”
Lucas and Danielle came to the UK from Canada for their holiday at the end of April. Lucas loved London and had decided to propose during their trip. He was particularly fond of the architecture but knew Danielle didn’t like crowded spaces, which was a challenge in busy London.
The location we came up with was Abingdon Street Gardens - a quiet spot in Westminster, overlooking the Palace of Westminster and Big Ben.
Lucas did a great job, executed the plan perfectly and Danielle said YES! After their proposal, we wandered around for an hour or so during which I photographed them being themselves and having some lovely moments as a newly-engaged couple.
We joked about how brave pigeons in the UK are and I’m thrilled I managed to get one in flight in one of their photos!
