Surprise Proposal Photography
You're ready to propose to your partner, and that's huge. Focus on the moment and each other; I'll handle the rest.
Planning a surprise proposal is a big move, and I’m here to help you get the photography part right. We’ll work together to choose a discreet spot in your favourite area and a solid plan (I always pre-scout the location beforehand).
I usually stay hidden in plain sight: pretending to be a bird photographer or a hobbyist testing a lens always works. My early days as a street photographer taught me how to be inconspicuous. If things get really tough - I’ll become a sniper - hiding in the bushes is part of the job :)
The Best Light: While the "golden hour" right before sunset is usually best, Perth summers allow us to keep shooting even after the sun dips. The afterglow provides beautiful, soft reflected light that is perfect for photos.
If you’re planning to propose during the colder months we’ll have more flexibility. Winter light is softer and the early afternoon can be better (and warmer).
The Session Once you’ve had a few private moments to celebrate the "Yes," we’ll head into a short, relaxed engagement session while the excitement and emotions are still high.
Not From Perth? No Stress. If you are traveling here on holiday, you don't need to guess what a location looks like. I've organized surprise proposals for couples visiting from Singapore, USA, Adelaide, Sydney, and we managed everything remotely. To make sure you feel completely confident, I send you detailed video walkthroughs of the location beforehand. You'll see exactly where to walk, where to stand, and where I'll be waiting, so it feels like you've already been there.
"My now fiancé worked with Piotrek to plan a surprise proposal in Australia while we were visiting from out of the country, and the process was so smooth and I was genuinely surprised in the moment! The excitement was felt from him about our special moment... We were so pleased with the sneak peek photos he shared and fell in love with the final gallery!" — Madi M.
Fast Delivery: I know you’ll want to share the news with family and friends. You’ll receive a selection of "sneak peek" images within 24 hours, and your full, high-resolution gallery will be delivered via an online link within a week. Want to see a full proposal story?

Planning something epic outside the city? I'm happy to travel and am as adventurous as I have to be: I jumped out of planes solo, hitch-hiked to Corsica to visit a friend in the French Foreign Legion, used to rockclimb in Poland, and worked as a Dive Guide in Zanzibar, Africa.
