Planning a marriage proposal in Granada always has an element of adventure about it. You have to think about the location, the time, the light, how to make everything seem natural and, above all, how to stop the other person from suspecting what\u2019s about to happen.
\nThis couple had been planning their engagement in Granada for several weeks.
\nHe is American and she is Canadian. They had been in a long-distance relationship for a year and a half and, whilst on a trip to Spain to attend a friend\u2019s wedding, they decided to visit Granada.
\nFor him, Granada was the perfect place to start a new chapter together.<\/p>\n

Planning a surprise proposal in Granada<\/h2>\n

For several weeks, we spent time discussing and organising all the details of the engagement.
\nHis plan was to pop the question at the Mirador de San Nicol\u00e1s, one of Granada\u2019s best-known spots and one of the best places to enjoy the views of the Alhambra.
\nThey\u2019d then planned a visit to the Alhambra at 6.00 pm, so the plan was to meet at the Mirador de San Nicol\u00e1s at 4.30 pm and, after the pre-dinner drinks, take a taxi to the Alhambra.
\nThere was one small problem: it was July, and 4.30 pm is a very sunny time of day in Granada.
\nAs a photographer, it wasn\u2019t my favourite time of day for a shoot. The light was very harsh, and it wasn\u2019t the ideal situation for achieving soft, warm lighting.
\nBut there was one thing that worked in our favour.
\nAt that time, the San Nicol\u00e1s Viewpoint was practically empty.
\nThis place is usually packed, especially at sunset. However, we were very lucky that day and were able to enjoy a much more intimate moment.
\nAnd when it comes to a marriage proposal, privacy is also very important.<\/p>\n

The marriage proposal at the San Nicol\u00e1s Viewpoint<\/h2>\n

I arrived early and blended in discreetly as just another tourist so that she wouldn\u2019t suspect a thing.
\nAnd then the moment arrived.
\nHe knelt down in front of her, with the Alhambra behind him.
\nIt was a very moving moment and, above all, a very intimate one.
\nFor me, one of the loveliest things about photographing marriage proposals is precisely that reaction which can never be replicated.
\nThe surprise, the excitement, the tears, the laughter and the hug after saying \u00abI do\u00bb.
\nIt all happens in a matter of seconds.
\nThat is why it is so important to get the planning right beforehand.

A couples\u2019 photoshoot at the Alhambra<\/h2>\n

After the proposal, we had some time to savour the moment before getting on with our plans.
\nWe took a taxi to the Alhambra, where we had booked our special tickets to visit the Nasrid Palaces and the Generalife.
\nAfter the surprise, having a couples\u2019 session was the perfect way to round off the afternoon.
\nThe nerves had gone.
\nThere was no longer any need to hide anything.
\nNow they could simply enjoy being together and celebrate the fact that they\u2019d just got engaged.
\nDuring the visit, we took photographs as we went along, exploring the Nasrid Palaces and the Generalife whilst they enjoyed the Alhambra at the end of the day.
\nI really like combining a proposal with a couple\u2019s photoshoot because it allows the whole story to be told.
\nWe don\u2019t just have the photographs of the moment the question is asked.
\nWe also have pictures of what happens afterwards: the joy, the hugs, the glances and that feeling of starting a new chapter together.<\/p>\n
