There are many different types of surprise proposal shoots that you can do in Amsterdam, depending on your budget and preferences. Here are a few ideas:
Our team understands that proposing to your loved one is a big moment, and we strive to create the perfect proposal. Our proposal shoots include not only stunning photos but also the following services:

We create Amsterdam proposal photography with passion and care. If you’d like to make your proposal shoot extra special consider adding additional services like roses, champagne, or even a photographer assistant to carry belongings and record behind-the-scenes. You can count on our photographer to make your proposal day unforgettable!
Our shoots are all about getting lost in Amsterdam or any city you choose from our locations recommendations. We will also provide you with a booklet of private boat providers just in case you would like to do your surprise proposal shoot on a private boat (private boat fees are not included in our shoots). It is a great option for couples who want a more intimate and luxury experience.
Surprise proposal photography in the tulip fields is also available! From mid-April until the first week of May, the tulips are in full bloom. Go ahead and check out the tulip fields photoshoot packages or the Keukenhof photoshoot packages if you want to propose amidst a sea of tulips!

Within 2-3 days after the shoot, clients can choose their favourite photos from a private gallery, the photo-proofs appear with watermarks.
In accordance with the package you have booked, you will have the option of selecting a certain number of photos. Additional photos can be purchased for 18€ each (VAT Excluded).
The final digital photographs are retouched within 4-7 days, sent by email in high resolution/size, and in color and black & white.
There are a lot of photogenic spots located in city centre where you can take breathtaking pictures of Amsterdam’s architecture, from hidden streets, beautiful bridges and docks with views of the majestic 17th century Dutch canal houses.
Here is a short list with some of the best photo spots in Amsterdam that you can use for your photoshoot:
You can choose your favourite Amsterdam canal for your photographs, such as Brouwersgracht, Prinsengracht, Herengracht, or Singel canal.
Magere Brug, also known as Skinny Bridge or Love Lock Bridge, is the most famous bridge in the Dutch capital. Another nearby location to visit for more photos with a Parisian vibe can be found at the Blauwbrug and the docks at Amstel river.
We have a partnership with private boat providers so that you can enjoy a canal cruise while having your photo session. There is a high demand for romantic boat photoshoots for couples, proposals, engagements, and weddings. By photographing from a canal cruise, you can obtain different perspectives than if you were taking pictures from the street.
67,5€ for each additional 30 minutes of shooting (excl. VAT).
135€ for each additional 1 hour of shooting (excl. VAT).
I normally do not shoot on public holidays but there may be some exceptions. Weekends are my days off so I can maintain a good work-life balance and give my best for each shoot. Occasionally, I am happy to accommodate clients who cannot make it during the week, such as for events, commercial shoots, or private clients.
I am available Saturday or Sunday when it works best for the client, but it is recommended shooting early in the morning because there may be more people around in some locations. The “Weekend fee” is already calculated in the calendar when choosing Saturday or Sunday.
18€ each (excl. VAT) – Basic Retouching
On top of the photoshoot price, the 3 working days turnaround price is 125€ (excl. VAT).
Let us know in advance if you require a rush service fee so we can confirm our schedule will allow it at that time.
Extra fees may apply outside Amsterdam, Utrecht, and Hilversum.
Outside the Netherlands – to be determined.
