Kiss Me in Paris has planned and produced luxury proposals in Paris since 2013, run by an English-speaking team that keeps photography and video in-house. Co-founder Chantelle Streete, a Wharton MBA and former Wall Street professional, shapes each proposal around how it feels the moment she arrives. The entry point is a photography-led proposal at €300.

Still choosing the spot? Our Paris guide has the places that work at sunrise, in the middle of the day, and at sunset.
Love Picnic Paris pairs a classic French gourmet picnic with a photographer to turn a proposal into an easy afternoon rather than a production. Olivier has more than 20 years behind the camera, with press credits from the New York Times to Le Monde. He shoots the surprise from a distance, then sets up the couple once she has said yes.
Pierre Torset has photographed weddings and couples in Paris since 2012, and he calls his work elegant, emotional and timeless. His approach is natural, relaxed and guided. He sets the pace off the two of you and looks for real emotion, refined composition, and good light rather than overly posed or trendy images.
Fran Boloni founded The Paris Photographer in 2013 and now runs a team of photographers and videographers working across Paris and Provence. For a secret proposal the team spreads out and shoots from the crowd, so the first she knows of it is the ring. Fran calls them the friendliest photographers in Paris, and they carry that into engagements, elopements, weddings, and family sessions.
The Parisian Photographers have shot English-speaking couple, family, and proposal sessions in Paris since 2014, and they let you choose how the proposal is captured. For the total surprise, the photographer is already in position, just another person with a camera in a city full of them, so she has no idea until the ring is out. Prefer something calmer?
