The proposal, the moment it all begins
The proposal is where your wedding story begins. Whether it’s on a rooftop in Vienna, among the vineyards of the Cape Winelands, or overlooking a lake in Tuscany, I can help you plan the perfect setting. For couples in the UAE, I can suggest a number of romantic spots that work beautifully for that once-in-a-lifetime question.
I stay hidden until the moment is sealed with a ‘yes’. From there, we’ll have some fun capturing a few natural portraits together – genuine, unposed, and full of emotion.
Your proposal session includes discreet planning support. It also includes a private online gallery of edited photographs for you to share with family and friends.

Couple shoot, getting comfortable on camera
Not everyone is at ease in front of the camera, and that’s exactly why I offer pre-wedding shoots, sometimes called engagement shoots. Think of it as a gentle rehearsal, a chance to get comfortable, confident with me and the camera. By the time your wedding arrives, you’ll already know how it all works, which means your photographs will look and feel even more genuine.
You can choose a location that means something to you, or I can suggest somewhere cinematic with beautiful light and atmosphere. You’re welcome to bring a change of outfit to capture different moods. Some couples use the session for their hair and makeup trial, bring their dog along, or simply make a day of it.
Afterwards, you’ll receive a private online gallery of around 50 edited images, perfect for ‘save-the-dates’, your wedding website, or as a personal collection of memories.
Lyall took time to understand what I had in mind and what mattered most to me, respecting my needs and supporting me throughout the process. The photo shoot itself was a wonderful experience. He knows how to make you smile when you’re feeling a little nervous and does everything he can to help you feel comfortable. All of this comes through in the photographs. You can see how much thought and care goes into every image.
