Unequalled Proposal Experience

We talk with clients every single day about their engagement dreams. Not occasionally, not as a side business—this is what we do. For over a decade, we’ve guided gentlemen (and sometimes ladies) through their Paris proposals, patiently answering questions, offering personalized ideas, and helping them create memorable engagements. We’ve seen it all. We don’t just follow trends—we set them.

Integrated Planning

Unlike any other Paris photography studio, we offer full proposal planning services. This means we don’t just document your proposal—we can actually create it from the ground up. We secure Paris’s finest vendors and most exclusive venues, organize luxury transportation, surprise-decorate hotel suites, source rare champagnes, create jaw-dropping floral designs and professional lighting, and even secure last-minute reservations at the city’s most exclusive restaurants. Hey, we own one of the most beautiful private Eiffel Tower terraces, perfect for exclusive experiences.

Award-Winning Photography

We deliver proposal photography that stands above your typical local offerings. Our work has garnered recognition from notable publications and media outlets, including CNN, TIME, People, The Huffington Post, NBC Sports, Carats & Cake, Grace Ormonde, Tatler, WedLuxe, Elle, Los Angeles Times, TF1, Style Me Pretty, and many others. Our client list includes celebrities, business leaders, and even royalty. We invite you to browse our portfolio and judge the quality for yourself.

Thorough Preparation

We prepare you thoughtfully before you arrive. We share guides, sample videos, location maps with GPS coordinates, and experience-boosting tips. We will speak with you personally. On proposal day, we arrive at least 20 minutes early to verify everything is ready for you. Our pricing is transparent, our communication is honest, and we consistently deliver beyond expectations. This level of care isn’t standard in Paris.

I booked Juliana for my brother and sister-in-law’s proposal in Paris, and it was the best decision I made. Kiss Me in Paris is incredibly organized, responsive, and helpful. Juliana was so kind and thoughtful—she answered all my questions and made the entire experience smooth and stress-free.

And the photos? Absolutely breathtaking! 😍 They are drop-dead gorgeous. I would recommend Kiss Me in Paris—and especially Juliana—to anyone looking for a stunning and unforgettable proposal in Paris.

A breathtaking sunrise proposal at Trocadéro featuring custom floral displays, sparkling fireworks fountains, and an unforgettable Eiffel Tower backdrop. This level of execution isn’t possible without a dedicated planner guiding every detail.

Eiffel Tower & Trocadéro

The most iconic proposal view in Paris—no contest. For clean photos and fewer interruptions, aim for sunrise. Trocadéro offers an unmatched variety, featuring terraces, fountains, staircases, and gardens. It is conveniently located near the Pont d’Iéna, Avenue de Camoens, and the Seine.

Insider Tip: For privacy, skip public spots entirely and consider a private terrace or yacht.

Louvre Museum

A striking, iconic alternative to Eiffel Tower shots. Propose on the rear side of the glass pyramids for cleaner angles and fewer tourists. Access may be limited due to events or security reasons, depending on the time of year. The Palais Royal, Pont des Arts, and nearby cafés offer fantastic follow-up spots for amazing Paris engagement photos.

Man proposing on luxury red carpet with Marry Me letters, violinist, fireworks, and Eiffel Tower view
Our Prestige Paris Proposal Package creates unforgettable moments in the City of Light. This spectacular setup features sumptuous “Marry Me” letters on a fresh red carpet bordered with rose petals, romantic flameless candles, and a master violinist performing as he presents the ring. Celebratory firework fountains illuminate the scene with the iconic Eiffel Tower providing the perfect Parisian backdrop—a truly extraordinary beginning to your engagement story.

Seine Riverbank

Ideal for couples who can’t make sunrise at Trocadéro. The Eiffel Tower looks impressively close from here. Works beautifully around sunset and Blue Hour. It’s a smart compromise: less crowded, intimate tower views, and near top dinner spots with Eiffel Tower vistas for a natural post-proposal flow.

Bir-Hakeim Bridge

Featured in films like Inception, this steel bridge offers enviable Eiffel Tower vistas and can double as a rain backup. Expect crowds, car traffic, and even overhead metro… all of which adds up to a unique vibe that is neither purely romantic, yet still suitable for a proposal. Best for sunrise or early evening proposals.

Montmartre

Romantic, elevated, and full of Parisian charm. Propose at sunrise near Sacré-Cœur for panoramic city views, then enjoy a delicious café at Place du Tertre and get the famous La Maison Rose portraits. This is your go-to if you want something visually rich beyond the Eiffel Tower.

Our Paris Proposal Photography Process

01 Let’s Chat & Secure Your Special Date

  • Share your desired proposal date and initial ideas. We instantly check availability and help you secure your photographer based on your preferred date and time. Then we’ll connect you with your artist to kick preparations into high gear.

02 Create Your Paris Proposal Plan

  • You and your photographer fine-tune the optimal spot and time, taking into account lighting, privacy, and your preferences. It’s a good idea to start the conversation as soon as possible since our photographers can get busy.

03 Get Insider Guidance Before You Arrive

  • We’ll exchange GPS coordinates and maps, reference photos and videos, and provide clear instructions – everything you need to arrive with confidence and have a fantastic experience. We agree on how to quickly spot each other from a distance, where to stand, any signal, and experience-boosting tips.

04 Your Proposal Captured

  • On your big day, send a quick selfie as you head out of your hotel. We arrive early, will share our live location and our own selfie, and discreetly position ourselves to capture everything from start to finish.

05 Get Stunning Engagement Portraits

  • After the “Yes!”, we’ll introduce ourselves and capture 30-40 minutes of beautiful engagement portraits (the ring, parent pleasers, fabulous lifts, dips, and kisses) while you are on Cloud 9.

06 Get Your Photos Back Fast

  • Relive the memories fast. You receive your complete, unedited gallery within 24 hours. Your professionally edited favorites are typically delivered in high resolution within two weeks.

Secret Documentation vs. Planned Photoshoot Proposal

Choose Your Style

Paparazzi proposal vs. proposing during a Paris photoshoot.

Secret Documentation Approach

We photograph your proposal like photojournalists, blending into the surroundings while you pop the question. Your partner remains completely unaware until after they say “Yes.” We provide detailed maps, positioning guidance, and exact instructions beforehand to ensure everything goes smoothly.

What Works Well: This captures raw, unfiltered reactions and genuine emotion. There’s zero camera awareness during the critical proposal sequence, resulting in powerful documentation. After the “Yes,” we introduce ourselves and capture your first portraits as an engaged couple.

What to Consider: This approach requires precise coordination since we can’t communicate during the proposal itself. You’ll need to get your partner to the exact spot, looking great, without raising suspicion. In busy locations, there’s a slight chance that passersby will appear in your photos (our associate service can help manage this).

Planned Photoshoot Approach

We schedule a “couple’s photoshoot” as your cover. Your partner is aware of the Paris photoshoot, but not your proposal plans. This gives us more control while still preserving the core surprise.

What Works Well: Significantly easier logistics. Your partner arrives on time, camera-ready, and dressed to impress. We control the positioning, lighting, and timing with precision. It creates a natural transition into engagement portraits for your wedding website, save-the-dates, and reception sign-in book.

What to Consider: While the reaction remains genuine and emotional, it may differ slightly from a complete out-of-the-blue surprise (though clients report the reactions are equally magical).

Both approaches produce stunning results. Choose secret documentation if maximum surprise is your priority. Choose the planned photoshoot for a stress-free experience.

When you privatize your proposal setting, i.e., rent a rooftop or a boat, the paparazzi style makes the most sense, as you, by design, have full control over the environment, timing, and who can join you. Speak with our marriage proposal planner to learn more.

Hands down, the best people you’ll work with! Kiss Me in Paris takes care of everything you could ask for: exclusive locations, a talented violinist, stunning floral designs, a discreet proposal photographer—and Chantelle, the company’s proposal planner, is an absolute blessing!
