She had no idea.
She thought they were just going for an early walk. That’s the thing about Paris at sunrise. Nobody suspects anything. The city is too quiet, too golden, too much like a dream to feel like real life.
I was already there, waiting by the trees in the Tuileries. I watched her come down the path. I watched the moment her partner dropped to one knee.
Her hands went to her face before her brain caught up.
That reaction. Twenty years of this, and it still gets me every time.
We spent the rest of the morning together. The Louvre, the bridges, the archways. Two people newly engaged, still a little stunned, holding hands like they couldn’t believe it had actually happened.
Which is exactly how it should feel.
If you’re planning something like this in Paris, I’d love to be there for it. DM me or find me at photographers-paris.com.
