I had the pleasure of discreetly capturing a beautiful surprise proposal near the iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, right in front of the Observatory. Carefully planned in advance, Connor organised a romantic picnic with his girlfriend, Abbey, creating the perfect setting for this unforgettable moment.

Completely unaware that I was quietly watching from a distance, Abbey enjoyed the afternoon as Connor prepared to make his move. The proposal itself was truly special… and I loved Abbey’s reaction when she realised the secret proposal had been captured on camera.

As a professional wedding photographer with over 900 weddings photographed, I don’t often get the chance to capture surprise engagements like this—making it all the more memorable and rewarding.
