Are you ready to ask the biggest question you'll ever ask and do you want that moment kept as a memory forever?

Whether you get down on one knee at Tower Bridge or ask the question at the top of a Roof Garden, I ensure the moment is captured with creativity and stealth (I’ve never been noticed! I'm like a ninja with a ginger beard!) and after some congratulatory hugs I spend some time getting some natural shots of you both together.

I'm the kind of chap who'll be warm towards you, cheer you on and make the whole process a lot easier than you think it might be!

Proposal Photographer

My Top 5 Places to Propose in London

My name is Olly Knight and I regularly photograph proposals in secret across London for British, American and European couples who want their proposal moment documented without having to pose or feel like they’re on a film set. I’ve been to many spots in London that I think make for great backgrounds for proposals although I have to say I think the emotion and connection is more important than the backdrop for any proposal! Here’s my top 5 and I hope this is helpful if you’re planning a proposal.

5. Big Ben

At number 5 is the view of Big Ben from across the Thames. There’s quite a popular spot for taking photos here with the archway acting as a natural frame for the backdrop. Be prepared to queue here though, many people line up wanting this picture!

4. Kyoto Gardens

Kyoto Gardens is set in Holland Park and has a Japanese influence to the design with a waterfall just behind the bridge this makes the bridge an ideal place to propose on. I’d recommend early morning or evening times here as the park can get reasonably busy during the day.

3. St Paul’s Cathedral

St Paul’s is iconic and there are many places where St Paul’s can appear in the backdrop to your photos (like from the Millennium Bridge) but my favourite spot is here at the edge of a shopping centre where the reflections in the shop windows show the cathedral off in all it’s glory.

2. St Dunstan in the East

In the middle of such a busy city St Dunstan in the East is a little oasis. The Church was damaged during the second world war and now the ruins act as a beautiful backdrop to explore and to have photos taken in. This is a busy spot so I’d recommend early morning or evening.

1. Tower Bridge

My favourite place for proposals in London and definitely the most popular request I get is Tower Bridge. You can’t really beat it for a London landmark and there are several quieter areas near Tower Bridge to propose at. This spot is near the girl with a dolphin statue. The area over the river near the Shard looks nice but is so busy!

I hope that’s been useful to read. Do get in touch if you’re planning a proposal and I’d be happy to help!

I know forms aren't the most fun things in life (I prefer coffee, gigs and football games!) but leave me a few details and I'll get back to you!

Questions? I got you!

Where do you photograph proposals?

In my home city of Canterbury, London and across the South East of England (for proposals further afield I'd just quote for my travel costs)

Where should I propose?

I've photographed lots of proposals in London and across the South East so I can always try and help you choose a spot. I always encourage my couples to choose somewhere that means something special to you both.

What if we've never been photographed as a couple before?

My aim will be to make you two feel relaxed and that you can be yourselves. I never awkwardly pose you, rather, I'll try and help you feel like yourselves.

What if the weather is really bad?

We can always find sheltered spaces for you to propose or if the forecast looks terrible we can try and rearrange dates or we can embrace the weather with an umbrella.

Steven & Ellen

"I really wanted to capture the proposal to my girlfriend on camera. When searching on Google I fell immediately in love with the photos Olly made for other couples. I was super happy to hear that Olly wanted to photograph also our special moment. The pictures itself were beautiful. Also the fast response, the great tips, professional guidance of Olly helped reducing the stress and helped me a lot in planning the proposal. Besides that, Olly is a very nice and very talented person. Thanks again Olly for everything!"
