ERIKA & JAVIER
A Romantic Surprise Proposal at Ciutadella Park, Barcelona
Javier reached out to me with a heartfelt plan to propose to his girlfriend, Erika, and wanted a beautiful backdrop for this special moment. I recommended Ciutadella Park, a stunning location perfect for a surprise proposal, especially on a warm October afternoon.
We arranged to meet at 5:00 PM, with the iconic fountain as the chosen spot. I planned to casually offer to take a photo of them, setting the scene for the big moment. As Erika posed for the picture, completely unaware, Javier dropped to one knee and asked the question that would change their lives forever.
Erika was absolutely surprised and overwhelmed with emotion as she said yes. After the proposal, we continued with an engagement photo session, capturing their love and excitement around the beautiful fountain and lush gardens of Ciutadella Park.

Planning a surprise proposal in Barcelona is a magical way to create unforgettable memories. I'm Gaby, a Barcelona photographer specializing in couples' love stories—surprise proposals, engagements, anniversaries, and maternity shoots—capturing timeless memories with a candid, joyful style in Barcelona's most magical spots.
Here are three ways to plan your proposal:
Option 1: Spontaneous Surprise
I’ll be at the location and approach you as a "passerby" photographer. After asking to take your photo, you propose, and we capture the joy.
Option 2: A Planned Session
Your partner thinks it’s a regular photoshoot. At a pre-planned moment, I’ll cue you to propose in an intimate, natural way.
Option 3: The Grand Finale
Save the proposal for the session’s end at a meaningful spot. I’ll provide the perfect cue for you to pop the question.
