Magical Mont-Saint-Michel Proposal at the Meanders
By experienced English-speaking locally based photographer Sabina Dumont.
Thibault and Anna’s surprise Mont-St-Michel proposal was an unusual one because it had a last minute change of plan that I actually instigated, but don’t worry. It was for a very good reason. Normally the client who contacted me about proposing choses the proposal location from a choice of the three best spots that I offer. Thibault chose in the ‘Marshlands Proposal Spot’ so I had sent my ‘secret’ website page that explans exactly how to find the location and how we spring the surprise proposal and we agreed on the time.
Then as I drove to the Mont-St-Michel I drove past a location that is often featured in photos online that’s called ‘the Meanders’ It’s a naturally occuring feature in the marshlands field that gives a super effect of drawing the eye to the Mont-St-Michel and is popular with instagrammers and influencers.
This location looks pretty all year round even when it is just grass but a few (very unpredictable) days a year, when the conditions are right (depending on the tides and/or rain in previous days) this little ‘wiggly’ line fills with water and looks SO pretty.
Now I’ve been to the Mont-St-Michel probably around 100 times in the last three years and I’ve never been lucky enough to see the Meanders full of water and yet on this day as I drove past the entrance to the field on the way to the main car parks I saw it… Yes, the meanders were full!

I decided to contact Thibault. I had no idea if he’s be able to see my message just before arriving as obviously clients who are springing surprise proposals are having to be discreet about messages between us on their leading up to the proposal. Luckily we were able to exchange messages and I was able to send him a quick map showing him where the Meanders are in relation the usual Marshlands Proposal spot and try and explain the best place to position himslef for his magical Mont-St-Michel proposal to Anna..
I’m so glad it worked out. Look at these photos of their wonderful proposal moment.at the Meanders and their engagement shoot that followed directly afterwards on the island itself.
