This surprise engagement photo session was in the Albaicín, one of the most romantic places in Granada with views of the Alhambra.
After weeks of planning with Daniel, the day of Marissa's surprise proposal finally arrived. Of the different approaches I usually suggest to couples for such special moments, Daniel chose one of my favourites: making her believe he had hired me for a simple photo session in Granada, with the excuse that they never had nice photos of their trips together.
What she didn't know was that behind this seemingly spontaneous session lay one of the most exciting surprises in her story.
We start at one of my favourite viewpoints in Granada and, from there, we go on a walk through the Albaicín underCobbled streets, charming slopes and corners full of history. At every turn, the views of the Alhambra The landscape was unique, the kind of landscape that makes every corner look like a perfect setting to make a photograph of a couple.
After a while, I slowly guided them towards the spot Daniel and I had chosen for the surprise proposal in Granada for Marissa: a beautiful and peaceful carmen, with spectacular views of the Alhambra that made it even more magical. The atmosphere, the light and the silence of the place created the perfect setting for a moment that neither of them will ever forget.
Of course Marissa said «yes» and we ended the afternoon taking some photos in the carmen's gardens.
Granada has become one of the most sought-after destinations for surprise proposals by international couples.
