Lake District Proposals

Scroll

Are you looking for a photographer for your Lake District proposal?

I’m an award winning photographer and it has been my pleasure to photograph many proposals in and around the Lakes over the years. To date I have photographed approx 40-50 proposals and loved veery single one. Below will hopefully give you some ideas of the the most beautiful spot to propose, and if you are looking to have it photographed then I would love to hear from you. I offer 3 proposal packages explained in the middle section.

Helping you plan every step to create the most memorable time and the best proposal photos in the Lakes.

Best Location to Propose in the Lake District

Set in the heart of the Langdales – Blea Tarn is one of my favourite spots anywhere in the world. This small Lake or Tarn is far enough away from some of the hectic hustle and bustle of the Lake District. Assuming you are looking to propose away from this businesses then this could be the perfect location for you. This location has it all, firstly with a car park very close by, but the picturesque scenery is the main draw. With the tarn immediately behind you, and beyond that the grandeur of the Langdale fells makes this one of the ideally spots to bend down on one knee.

Other fantastic proposal locations: Windermere, Coniston Water, Grassmere, Ullswater and Tarn Hows.

Bright, Beautiful & Timeless Photos You Will Treasure Forever

Let’s start with the story of Tim and Robyn.

All the proposals below where taken without the person being proposed to knowing I was there. I don’t hide in a bush as many have asked me, but just chill on the grass, or path, and act like any other Lake District goer. My camera is in my hand ready for the moment. Tim and Robyn’s story was different as Tim had pretended he had booked a ‘couples shoot’ for them whilst on holiday. So actually she knew I was around, and taking photos, before he proposed. Take a look:

Full Proposal Planning Service Included

You want this to be the most special moment possible. You might not know the Lakes as well as I do. I will help you fully plan our your proposal by discussing possible locations. The best place to park. The best time of day. How to avoid unforeseen things that might compromise your proposal. Full secret communication on the day. You will LOVE your photos forever.

If you looking to propose in the Lakes and also looking for someone to photograph it, please get in touch. I offer these 4 packages:

Proposal and immediate reactions

This includes a full planning Zoom/Whatsapp call prior to the day to discuss the location and logistics. I will arrive before the agreed time, and photograph the proposal itself plus the immediate reactions.

Proposal plus 30 mins of couple photographs

As the title suggests, this is exactly as the proposal only package, but afterwards we will spend 30 minutes together getting some incredible Lake District photos with you both within the immediate area of the proposal.

Proposal plus 2 hours of couples photographs, over 2 locations

Again, exactly as it says on the tin, this would be photography of the proposal, then photos afterwards together over a couple of different locations. Included in this time is travel time up to 30 minutes from the initial location. I know some great spots we can visit… Coniston, Tarn Hows, Hodge Close, to name a few.

Bespoke

Anything goes! Want me up the top of Helvellyn? What me out on the water on my paddle board? Want me to spend all day with you and travel many different locations around the Lakes District? Just get in touch as I am open to anything.

Proposals around the Lake District

Next up is a selection of other special moments that I have photographed in the Lake District. Some are at the best proposal location, which is Blea Tarn, others are at different locations. Please have a good look through.

Matthew & Suzanna – Proposal on a boat on Windermere

A boat trip on windermere was what Matthew and Suzanna did on one of their first ever dates. So Matthew decided to surprise her by hiring a boat for myself, and a boat for them early morning in the Lake District. After a longer than normal planning meeting to make sure the details were perfect, this proposal was one of the toughest but one of my favourite to date.
