A Ferris Wheel Proposal in Antibes, French Riviera

A Meaningful Symbol and Plan

This story follows A and M. Ferries wheels were important to them and their story, so M knew that the proposal had to take place somewhere that reflected that part of their journey together. Along the French Riviera, Antibes offered the perfect setting, with a seaside Ferris wheel that made the moment feel both playful and deeply personal.

The Proposal Above the Riviera

On Bastille day, the session began at 11:45 and continued until 13:45, creating a relaxed two-hour experience. We quietly captured A and M as they approached and stepped onto the Ferris wheel, with A completely unaware of what was about to happen.

Wandering Through Antibes

After the proposal, we continued the session through the streets of Antibes. In mid-July, the town is filled with colour, bright bougainvillea climbing warm stone walls, flowers spilling from balconies, and sunlight reflecting softly through the old streets.
