How it works

Planned together, captured candidly

Discreet coordination beforehand means a completely genuine reaction in the photos.

💬 Plan it together

You coordinate the details discreetly with Helmy over WhatsApp beforehand — timing, location, and how you want the moment to unfold.

🤫 Helmy blends in

On the day, Helmy stays a comfortable distance away, blending into the surroundings to capture the proposal candidly, exactly as it happens.

🥂 Celebrate after

Once they say yes, a short couple portrait session follows right there — so the celebration gets its own set of beautiful photos too.

Where to propose

Choose your setting

From city romance to coastal drama — Helmy shoots proposals across both regions.

🏙️ Barcelona

The Gothic Quarter's hidden squares, the mosaic terraces of Park Güell, or the golden light along Barceloneta beach — timeless city backdrops with room to stay unseen.

🌊 Costa Brava

Tossa's medieval castle walls, the quiet coves around Lloret, or the flower-lined bridges of Girona's old town — dramatic coastal and historic settings.

Pricing

Simple, honest pricing

No hidden fees. Choose your package, coordinate the details, and let the moment unfold.

Reviews

What guests say

★★★★★

"Helmy hid near the mosaic terrace at Park Güell and we had no idea she was there until my partner got down on one knee. The photos capture my exact face when I realized what was happening — I cry every time I look at them."

— Camila & Julian, Argentina
★★★★★

"We planned everything over WhatsApp in the days before and Helmy nailed the timing perfectly on the castle walls in Tossa. The light, the sea behind us, my partner's face — it's like something out of a film."

— Freya & Oskar, Sweden
★★★★★

"He proposed on a tiny cove near Lloret at sunset and I genuinely didn't notice Helmy the whole time. Getting the gallery the next day and seeing the surprise on my own face was almost as emotional as the moment itself."

— Priya, India
FAQ

Good to know

How do you keep it a surprise?

All the coordination happens beforehand only with the partner planning the proposal. On the day, Helmy stays hidden and blends into the surroundings, so the person being proposed to has no idea a photographer is there.

Which location is best for a proposal?

It really depends on the couple. Helmy can recommend a spot based on the time of day, crowd levels, and the mood you're going for — whether that's a quiet Costa Brava cove or a Barcelona city backdrop.

Do you photograph just the proposal, or more?

Both options are available. The Proposal package covers the moment itself plus a short couple session right after. If you'd like a longer celebration with more photos and an outfit change, the Proposal + Celebration package is built for that.

How far in advance should we book?

Same-day is possible, but summer months fill quickly. WhatsApp Helmy to check real-time availability — for any booking within 48 hours, always confirm timing by WhatsApp first.

How do we receive the photos?

A private gallery link is sent within 24 hours. Full-resolution downloads, yours to keep forever.
