A Romantic Couple Photoshoot and Surprise Gift in the Gothic Quarter

Frances contacted me with the idea of a couple photoshoot with her husband, Alberto, during their visit to Barcelona. She had a clear vision and chose the charming Gothic Quarter as the backdrop. For this location, I always recommend scheduling sessions in the morning to capture its quiet beauty. We coordinated all the details ahead of time to ensure everything was perfect.


A few days later, Alberto reached out with a heartfelt plan to surprise Frances during the shoot. He had designed a unique wedding band for her, crafted with gold and stones from one of his mother’s cherished pieces. Alberto wanted this to be a special moment they would always remember.


We decided to stage the surprise in front of Barcelona Cathedral, a breathtaking location. On a serene September morning, as I captured their photos, Alberto dropped to one knee and presented the ring to Frances. She was overwhelmed with emotion, moved by his thoughtful gesture, and filled with joy.


This session is one of my favorites because it captured not only their love but also their deep connection and the meaningful moments they shared.

If you’re planning a couple photoshoot in Barcelona or want to include a unique surprise, I’d love to help you create and capture memories that you’ll treasure forever!

Gaby and her photography skills are nothing short of STUNNING. We booked our first ever photoshoot to celebrate our recent marriage. She gave my husband and I great direction, amazing pictures and an unforgettable experience! We're introverted people, and we were nervous about the prospect of being in such an exposed position when we were planning the session. Those concerns vanished as soon as we met Gaby, she kept us focused on each other, laughing and just overall comfortable with the experience.

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.
