The weather in Paris can be unpredictable, but even in the rain Paris is still one of the most romantic places for Surprise Proposals. Matt braved a sudden downpour to pop the question to his lovely fiancé Erica, creating a truly unforgettable memory! Read on to hear their story. Cheers, Lindsey
“After booking our week long vacation in Paris, I decided it would be perfect place for a Surprise Proposal to my girlfriend (now fiancé) of six years, Erica. I went online to search for a photographer to capture our special moment so that we could share it with our friends and family. Digging around on various sites, I found Pictours Paris with wonderful reviews and an amazing portfolio. I immediately decided to reach out and email Lindsey to see if we she would be able to schedule a surprise photo shoot for the time we were in Paris. Lindsey responded very promptly and was excited to begin coordinating the details of the surprise proposal with me. She was very enthusiastic and helpful in suggesting various locations and times to help choose the perfect place to avoid the large crowds and to truly make this a proposal to remember. Upon our arrival in Paris, the weather forecast for the week showed rain almost every single day, at which point I reached out to Lindsey to see what our options were. After some discussion and trying to determine the best course of action, we decided to keep to the original plan as the weather was only predicting a light rain for the morning. On the day of the proposal, we began walking to Pont Alexander III, during which the skies opened up and it began to downpour. As we arrived at the bridge, Lindsey was there in the pouring rain, awaiting our arrival to capture our special moment. Although raining, from that point forward, everything went exactly as planned and Lindsey captured the proposal perfectly. She took amazing photographs of the proposal and even managed to get a few incredible shots after, despite the horrible weather. Lindsey was able to meet my expectations and more during our time in Paris and we will always remember our time there because of her.” – Erica & Matt
