Wonderful Winter Proposal at the Mont-St-Michel, France

Wonderful Winter Proposal at the Mont St Michel. Captured by experienced professional Photographer Sabina Cowdery   Are you considering a wonderful Winter proposal at the Mont St Michel but aren’t sure how the weather might affect it? Yes, it’s true that Winter in Normandy is often overcast and sometimes rainy but don’t let that put you off. Firstly, you’ll see from the images below that cloudy weather gives a soft, flattering light and I feel brings out all the colours. Additionally it means no strong shadows and contrast that can cause squinting as it’s too bright.   The second positive factor is that the island is a lot less busy in the winter months, meaning fewer other visitors. Whether it’sRead more “Wonderful Winter Proposal at the Mont-St-Michel”

Unforgettable Mont-St-Michel Proposal

Engagement Photography, Mont-St-Michel, My Blog, Proposal Photography, Wedding Photography

An unforgettable Mont-St-Michel Proposal …for both the couple and for photographer Sabina Cowdery!   This was most definitely the most unforgettable Mont St Michel Proposal I’ve ever captured ! The calm looking but striking image of the Mont-St-Michel above gives a hint of what was to come!   It was a December photoshoot so good weather can’t be guaranteed here in Normandy in Winter. It’s often overcast (which creates a lovely soft, flattering light that brings out the colours) and sometimes there can be rain showers so I always offer to stay flexible as to the time on the day allowing the client and I to adjust should rain be forecast. For this couple due to their travel plans weRead more “Unforgettable Mont-St-Michel Proposal”

Fabulous Mont St Michel Proposal Captured by bilingual photographer Sabina Cowdery   Eric’s proposal to Alanne was an unusual one as both their mums were on the trip to France with them. It occasionally happens, that family are with the couple. That’s absiolutely no problem with me. I love that their loved ones are there to witness their special moment. I then always offer to take family photos to include everyone in the moment. I give those photos free of charge even if the Silver package with 20 images is chosen.   They’d all travelled from Brazil to enjoy a very special trip to France. They were running late due to car rental issues that morning in Paris but EricRead more “Fabulous Mont St Michel Proposal”

Spring Mont-St-Michel Engagement Shoot Photos captured by English speaking photographer Sabina Cowdery   This Mont-St-Michel engagement photo-shoot wasn’t as orginally planned. Antoine had originally booked it to be a surprise proposal photo-shoot but then Covid happened. Their trip over from California sadly had to be postponed. Not wanting to wait, he proposed and in time let Lauren know what he had originally organised.   So when they were able to reschedule their trip after any risk and restrictions had been lifted Antoine got back in touch. As they were staying overnight a the Mont I blocked both days. The reason I do that is because the Normandy weather can be unpredictable and I always thinks it’s important to keep ourRead more “Spring Mont-St-Michel Engagement Shoot”

Magical Mont-St-Michel Surprise Proposal

Engagement Photography, Mont-St-Michel, My Blog, Proposal Photography, Wedding Photography

Magical Mont-St-Michel Surprise Proposal Photos captured by English speaking photographer Sabina Cowdery.   This was a wonderful, sunny, early evening magical Mont-St-Michel proposal. I’d been contacted a few months beforehand by Lukas, looking to capture his proposal to Tait. A few days beforehand we’d checked the weather forecast, as I always do, and chosen the time and place.   What worked best for them as thay were staying overnight on the island itself was to do the proposal on the bridge not far from the entrance. It’s always a fun challenge capturing a proposal so close to the Mont. There can be quite a few tourists and I obviously have to try and make sure the crucial moment isn’t blockedRead more “Magical Mont-St-Michel Surprise Proposal”

Carlie and Auxane’s surprise proposal and engagement photoshoot at the Mont-St-Michel was simply wonderful! Carlie had contacted me about three months beforehand, looking for a photographer to capture her proposal at the world famous Mont-St-Michel. She explained that both she and Auxane lived in the US but that Auxane’s family were orginally from France which is why she thought of proposing whilst over here on holiday.   In her email she asked tentatively if I’d captured a same-sex couple’s proposal before and I sensed a concern as to whether I was a photographerRead more “LGBT Friendly Photographer – Mont-St-Michel Proposal”

Winter Proposal at the Mont St Michel

Engagement Photography, Mont-St-Michel, My Blog, Portrait Photography, Proposal Photography

Winter Proposal at the Mont St Michel. Capture by Proposal and Engagement Photographer Sabina Cowdery.   This winter proposal at the Mont St Michel was the first of the year on a Saturday in January. Normandy winters are mostly overcast and can be rainy so I can never guarantee good weather. Let me say that photoshoots in overcast weather aren’t a bad thing because cloudy weather gives a soft flattering light and can be really beautiful too.   For Matthieu’s proposal to Ellie this certainly wasn’t the case. There had been a cold snap for a few days and there had even been some snow and chilly weather was forecast. To fit around Matthieu’s plans, as they were driving toRead more “Winter Proposal at the Mont St Michel”
