A Secret Proposal in Jardin Exotique of Èze

Planning the Perfect Surprise Proposal

On this special day, T planned a heartfelt proposal to M at the Jardin Exotique in Èze. Because they were travelling with a friend, T had to coordinate a timing that kept the moment a complete surprise. He incorporated a personal touch by having M’s favourite artists appear in a video message, which she saw just before the proposal—creating a beautifully emotional and unique start to the moment.

Entry to the garden is 200€, plus general admission fees, but it’s well worth it. This is the only location in Èze that offers unobstructed views of the village without booking a private venue.

The Proposal

After watching the video, T proposed to M in the garden, and her reaction was full of emotion. She had no idea it was coming, and you can see the joy and tears in every photo. Our team captured the moment from both angles, ensuring that every detail, from the smiles to the small expressions of surprise, was preserved.

Lighting Tips

The afternoon sunlight was a bit bright, so for future shoots at this location, we recommend either earlier or later in the day for softer light. Despite the timing challenges, the photos came out beautifully, perfectly reflecting the intimacy and excitement of this secret garden proposal.
