Weddings · Proposals


One question,

one perfect place

Eight places worth asking in, a photographer already hidden in the trees, and someone who has set this up hundreds of times. We handle every detail. You just have to ask.

Packages from $240

Photographer hidden and ready

Location scouted in advance

Rain date moved free of charge

Fully customisable packages

Since 2004


A proposal is one moment. Everything around it takes planning.

The photographer needs to be in position before you arrive and invisible until the second it happens. The spot has to be the right one at the right hour, and free of a wedding party or a film crew. The flowers need to be there without being carried across the park. We plan all of it with you and make sure none of it shows.

Where will you stand?

Each spot has its own light, its own level of privacy and its own crowd. Pick one and we’ll tell you the truth about it — including how many strangers will be watching.

In every package


Eight things you won’t have to arrange

The hiding is the hard part

A proposal only works if none of the planning is visible. The photographer has to be in place and unnoticed, the flowers can’t be carried half a mile, and you need a reason to be standing in exactly the right spot at exactly the right minute. That’s the part we handle.

Location scouted and held

Checked for events, crowds and light before your date is confirmed.

A personal proposal planner

One named person from first call to the moment it happens.

Hidden photographer

In position before you arrive, invisible until the second you ask.

Timing and signal plan

An agreed cue so the shutter starts the instant you go down.

A reason to be there

We give you a cover story that gets you to the spot without suspicion.

Online photo gallery

Edited, print-quality files delivered digitally, yours to download and share.

Seasonal flowers on site

Waiting at the location rather than carried across the park.

Rain-date transfer

Moved free of charge if the forecast turns before the day.

How it works


Four steps, and the first one takes a minute

STEP 01

Tell us the date

Send the date and a rough idea. A refundable deposit takes your location off the calendar so nobody else can claim it.

STEP 02

We call within 24 hours

A planner talks through the spot, the timing, the flowers and the cover story, then confirms it all in writing.

STEP 03

We set the scene

On the day the photographer is in position early and the flowers are already there. You arrive to something that looks like coincidence.

STEP 04

Ask

That part is yours. We hand you a gallery within three weeks, and can arrange dinner or a carriage ride straight afterwards.

Custom add-ons


Build the rest of the day around it

Added to any package. If you have an idea that isn’t here, ask — most things are possible inside the park’s rules.

Talk it through with a planner

Before you book

Questions we’re asked every week

How far ahead should we book?

Two to four weeks is comfortable for most proposals, and a carriage ride can often be arranged with a few days’ notice. Autumn weekends and sunset slots go faster than anything else — if your date is fixed, tell us early and we’ll check what’s open before you commit.

No. The photographer arrives well before you, works from a distance with a long lens, and looks like any other person in the park until the moment has happened. We agree a cue beforehand so the shutter starts the second you go down rather than a beat late.

We move it. Rain dates transfer free of charge, and if the forecast is borderline we’ll call you the day before rather than leaving it to chance. A carriage ride works in light rain — the cover comes down and it becomes rather good.

Not for two people asking a question. Permits apply to events with 20 or more people, so a proposal needs nothing. If you’re planning to gather family afterwards, or want a formal photography session in the Conservatory Garden, that’s a different matter and we’ll sort it.

That’s part of the job. We’ll give you a plausible reason to be standing in exactly the right spot at exactly the right time — a booked walking tour, a table reservation, a photo of the skyline. Most of the planning goes into making sure nothing looks planned.

The deposit is fully refundable until you confirm the booking in writing. After that, standard cancellation terms apply and we’ll set them out clearly before you pay anything.

Start here

Tell us the date. We’ll tell you what’s free.

No obligation and no deposit to check. A planner replies within 24 hours with the locations still open on your date and what each one would cost.
