See what's included →At Paparazzi Proposals we understand that you have a big life decision ahead, and it needs all kinds of support: from emotional guidance to help with logistics and planning. Over a decade of working and learning, we have developed protocols to make sure your proposal is executed in the most beautiful way.
A proposal is not just a photographer. Behind your date there is a team: coordinators and planners, photographers, editors and decorators, drivers and musicians. No last-minute cancellations, no no-shows, no unexpected changes (unless the weather doesn't permit). We are here for you, through what is likely one of the most important events of your life.
“You can go with one photographer you found online. It's not impossible, but you're taking a risk: we often get couples who are going through a last-minute cancellation, and we do our best to accommodate them, but a proposal planned on a tight deadline rarely ends up as perfect as you want it to be. Come to us from the beginning, and we'll support you with the whole team.”
Pick your date and we'll check availability and match you with the perfect package.

Tulum hands you a backdrop for every kind of marriage proposal. We've scouted every spot on this map ourselves: for the light, for the privacy, and for the angles that make the photographs worth framing. Tap any pin to jump to that spot, or let a Tulum proposal planner find the place where you two will want to get engaged.
Not sure how to ask? Start with the place. The spot you choose sets the tone of the entire moment, whether you want it hidden and intimate or grand and unmistakably Tulum.
Every idea below works beautifully on its own, or dressed up with full proposal decorations: a styled picnic, a candle heart glowing at dusk, or giant MARRY ME letters waiting as you round the corner. Your proposal planner arranges the permits, the timing and the setup, and your photographer is already in position, so all you have to do is walk them there.

The Mayan ruins at Tulum are located on a cliff just above the Caribbean Sea. El Castillo stands above a beach where the turquoise waters create an unrivaled scene. The early mornings are when you can enjoy these views without any distractions.
Gran Cenote is an amazing natural sinkhole which has crystal clear water with caves and wooden pathways, located just outside the town of Tulum. The sunlight falls through the cracks into the water. It is a very special place for nature-loving couples.
The structure of Azulik is characterized by the wooden design of the building with its winding walkways and roofs. It seems that the structure literally emerged from the surrounding forest. It creates a special artistic atmosphere in the photographs.
Playa Paraíso is a beach with white sand and palm trees, located just south of the archaeological site. It boasts turquoise water and is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Mexico. The tranquility of the surroundings at dawn makes Playa Paraíso an ideal place for a proposal.
Sian Ka’an is a UNESCO World Heritage site near Tulum that features lagoons, mangroves and deserted beaches. Cruising by boat through the canals is peaceful and remote. This is an ideal place for adventurous couples looking for a tranquil and pristine environment.

He emailed pictures of the site, maps of the path to take, and suggestions on the best times to propose. We were given pictures taken over the course of over an hour.
He acted like he was just a tourist taking photos of the sunset, and my fiance was so surprised with the setup. I was also sent the pictures within 2 days!
