Propose at sunrise with hundreds of hot air balloons behind you — planned discreetly, captured professionally. 100+ proposals in 13 years.
BEFORE THE DAY
Your photographer confirms the plan privately on WhatsApp: timing, the spot, and how to keep it a surprise. Easiest cover story: "I booked us a sunrise photoshoot." Bring a small backpack for the ring box.
ON THE DAY
Hotel pickup in Göreme, Uçhisar or Ortahisar before dawn. We track the balloons live and drive you to a crowd-free viewpoint. We rehearse poses at the first spot; at the second, while your photographer takes solo shots of your partner, you step in from behind and kneel — we capture every frame up to the "YES".
AFTER THE YES
A 3-hour private engagement shoot continues at 2–3 more locations (Love Valley, Red Valley).
WHAT YOU GET
• 300–400 unedited photos within 2 days
• 20 retouched images within 2–3 weeks

ADD-ONS (paid on site): classic car €100 · running horses €150/person · carpet gallery €100.
I pick up guests from their hotel in Göreme, Uçhisar, or Ortahisar before sunrise. One day before the experience, I contact the lead guest via WhatsApp to confirm the pickup time and location. On the day of the shoot, I arrive at the hotel entrance with camera gear and greet them by name.
