Bogdan & Kristi

Proposal in Paris

On the Trocadéro

We started on the steps and terraces of the Trocadéro, under a soft grey sky, with the Eiffel Tower across the river. Kristi in a grey coat, Bogdan in brown, both relaxed in front of the camera from the first frames.

The question, again

Then Bogdan went down on one knee on the terrace and asked again, this time with a camera there. Kristi already knew her answer, but her smile at the ring, the way he lifted her off the ground and the kiss that followed were all real.

What couples say

“Dina was our Photographer in June '25 in the Dordogne, and she was amazing. So easy to meet her online, organise all of the details easily, and then send her photos we wanted in preparation. She also worked really well with our videographer, and made sure we got every photo we needed. Highly recommend!!”

Afterwards

We stayed on the terrace a while longer, close together against the stone walls and the grey sky. Some of these I finished in black and white, which suits the quiet after a big moment.

Questions

How far ahead should we book?

Most couples book six to eighteen months ahead. Summer Saturdays go first.

I’m excited to go wherever your love story is taking me and looking forward to hearing from you!

Occasion
A proposal, recreated a week later
First proposal
Dinner at the Eiffel Tower

I met Bogdan and Kristi while looking for models for a lifestyle shoot for a watch brand in Paris. They were already engaged: Bogdan had proposed a week before, at dinner at the Eiffel Tower, but nobody photographed the moment. So we recreated it.

We met at the Trocadéro, with the Eiffel Tower in front of us, and it turned into a fun, easy session. If you plan to have your own proposal photographed, give your partner a reason for the session: booking a photo shoot “just because” will raise questions.
