A quiet, emotional proposal by the sea — planned from start to finish with discreet photography at Aposelemis Beach, Crete.
This romantic proposal took place on the peaceful shores of Aposelemis Beach in Crete, a location known for its open horizon, soft light, and calm atmosphere — perfect for an intimate “yes”.
Archie & Monica traveled from the United States with a simple wish:
a meaningful proposal, free of stress, focused on emotion rather than spectacle — exactly how I approach every
proposal photography in Crete.
Together with my wife Maria, we handled the planning, timing, and discreet setup so the moment could unfold naturally — just the two of them, the sea, and the light of a Cretan sunset.
In the days leading up to the proposal, we coordinated every detail remotely — from timing to light — as part of my
romantic proposal photography in Crete — location choice, timing, light conditions, and how to keep everything a surprise.
We arrived early at Aposelemis Beach to prepare quietly and blend into the surroundings. As the sun lowered and the beach became calmer, the moment came naturally.
No instructions.
No staging.
Just a genuine reaction, a deep breath — and a heartfelt “yes”.
After the proposal, we stayed for a relaxed photo session, capturing their joy in a calm, unforced way, letting the light and the emotion lead.
“Please, please, give this incredible man an opportunity to capture your special moment.
He helped me plan my proposal from start to finish — words cannot describe how happy I am.
Would give 100000 stars if possible.”
