I'm sharing a special moment that I was lucky enough to capture - a proposal that took place at a private accommodation overlooking Whitsands Bay in Cornwall.

On a warm summer evening, the couple stepped out onto their balcony, and with the sun slowly setting behind them, a surprise proposal took place - It was such a delight to capture their emotions in that moment!

“I hired Emma to capture the magic of my proposal evening…

I was looking for a photographer with skills that go beyond simply pointing and shooting; someone with the skills to choreograph exquisite photos that will bring the memories to life when we look back in years to come.

In Emma, we found all of this and so much more. Emma is a consummate professional, capable of making her subjects feel at ease, whilst bringing out their best… Not only have we got amazing and extremely unique photos, but the experience of being photographed was in itself, so much fun; and added to the magic of the evening… We felt like models in a Vogue cover shoot; and the resulting photos suggest that we were!

The service provided by Emma, from the moment we first spoke, through to delivery of our photos, was nothing short of perfect; and both my fiancée and I cannot recommend her more highly.”

After she said "YES!", the couple were welcomed with canapés and champagne, toasting to their joyous occasion. I took some lovely photos of them together, capturing all of the love and excitement that they were feeling as they shared the news with some loved ones.

The evening continued with a 5-course meal, presented by a private chef - Debbie Thorpe, providing a perfect end to a perfect day.
