A real proposal, photographed from a distance.
I arrive before you and wait among the other people at the viewpoint, camera down, long lens on. You walk your partner to the spot, you kneel, and I photograph it from where I am standing. Everything in your gallery happened exactly when you see it happening.
You look at each other. I take the picture. And then, once the ring is on, twenty minutes of relaxed portraits.

Alvaro was the most important part of my trip to Spain with my now fiancee! He took excellent photos of us and made our engagement absolutely magical. Would 100% recommend you book him for any occasion that could use expert photography.

Simply brilliant! Helped me plan the proposal months in advance and gave me some great advice on where to do it and what time. He was there on time and the photos are perfect. Thank you so much for capturing our moment.

We’re so grateful that Alvaro was there to capture our engagement in Barcelona. The photos are incredible, we will cherish them forever. He made us feel comfortable and confident. He knew all of the best spots so we were able to get many photos in just an hour.

Álvaro was great! I found him through local lens.com, he helped me with my surprise engagement while on vacation in Barcelona. We met via video call about month before the photo shoot date. He went over some location and logistics with me, which were really helpful. The day off we pulled the suprise of and he does a mix of poses but also caught some beautiful natural shots. My fiancé and I would definitely recommend.

Alvaro is FANTASTIC! reached out a month before my planned visit. We discussed potential proposal locations and he made everything easy. Day before we discussed again quickly. Then the day of, he sneakily found me and boom we made the moment happen, all to the surprise of my fiancé. The next hour was great taking all kinds of pictures. And lastly he sent everything over in a couple of hours and even sent more pictures than I was expecting. Thank you Alvaro for making this day so magical. Absolutely recommend him for pictures in Barcelona.

I hired Alvaro to photograph my proposal in Barcelona and I cannot recommend him enough! He helped me plan where and when would be the best time to shoot, and we are able to coordinate it in a way to keep it a surprise for my fiancée, right up until I was down on one knee. Even when the weather and traffic threw us some difficulties, Alvaro was able to improvise to make sure everything went off perfectly. And the final result is phenomenal - we love the photos that Alvaro took, and they were delivered to us quicker than expected. If you are looking for a talented and professional photographer in the Barcelona area, Alvaro Gonzalez is definitely your guy!

FAQ
Before you book
Can we do it somewhere private?
Barcelona is a very touristy city, so I'll be straight with you: in August at sunset, a private spot is close to impossible. The honest answer is early morning — at that hour almost everything is empty, even the places that are packed by noon.
If you want privacy guaranteed, it has to be a paid location: a hotel terrace with views, or a boat. I can point you to the ones that work.
How far in advance should I book?
Two to four weeks is comfortable. Sunset dates in spring and autumn go first, but last-minute is often possible — just ask.
Will my partner notice the photographer?
Almost never. I shoot from a distance with a long lens, in ordinary clothes, among the other people at the viewpoint.
