Anna Svobodova moved to Barcelona from the Czech Republic in 2011, photographed hundreds of weddings, and got married herself in May 2025. For a proposal she dresses casually, blends in and passes for a tourist taking pictures, with the camera switched to silent where it can be. Ahead of the proposal you swap maps, photos and directions for getting there. Her advice for the one asking is the practical kind. Don't rush, because she's on standby. Take off your sunglasses, put the phone away, and stand side-on to the view so she can catch both your faces. That list is worth reading twice, because it decides whether the photos show the two of you or the back of one head. After the yes she comes over with a bottle of Catalan champagne, and the next half hour is engagement portraits. If Anna's booked, one of her associate photographers takes the proposal.
