A Morning Private Proposal at Colline du Château, Nice

Proposal Planning

This session took place in late May from 8:45 to 9:45. M wanted to propose to H in a very private, quiet location, so we chose Colline du Château in Nice. Arriving right when the park opens at 8:00 ensures a peaceful atmosphere, with very few people around. For this morning timing, the recommended spot for a proposal is the viewpoint facing Port Olympia, which we used for this shoot.
