Wonderful Mont-St-Michel Proposal Story
Captured by English-speaking photographer Sabina Dumont
Wow! What a proposal story this is ! For two reasons… the first you’ll already have seen and that’s Himath’s incredible red dress. It looked amazing against the backdrop of the world-famous Mont-St-Michel along with Shaan who looked dashing in his tuxedo, that had a matching red lining, and he even had shoes with a red sole.
So that’s only half of the reason why this is a wonderful proposal story. The rest is all about Shaan’s incredible organisation of the surprise. Let me explain…
Shaan and Himath live in Calgary, Canada and Shaan had explained to Himath that they were going on a trip and that he had organised a photo-shoot, but not where it would take place. He initially explained that they would be taking two flights but when they landed at the second airport and Himath headed to the arrivals to leave the airport, Shaan had to grab her to explain that they were actually catching a third plane. It was only at that point did Himath discover that not only were they leaving Canada, but they were also flying to another continent !
The big surprise was that they were coming to Europe to visit France, and they were getting on a plane to fly to Charles Le Gaulle Airport in Paris.
But that’s not all… when they arrived, Shaan didn’t tell Himath where they were going next. They picked up their rental car and started driving. It was only during the drive that Himath discovered that they were going to the world-famous Mont-St-Michel and that this is where they were going to have their photo-shoot.
Shaan had been in touch with me several months prior to their arrival and we’d planned the photo-shoot. Obviously Himath didn’t know about the proposal, so we simply planned to meet up and begin a couple’s photo-shoot. We met near the dam of the Mont-St-Michel and walked to the marshland’s area that Shaan had chosen for his proposal moment.
We chatted and started the shoot, and I then guided things so that Himath was looking at the island so that Shaan could get down on bended knee to surprise her with his proposal.
Apparently, he had speech in mind that he’d prepared but in the moment with all the emotions he couldn’t say it all as planned…but it didn’t matter. Look at the wonderful expression on her face as she turns to find him unexpectedly down on one knee to ask for her hand in marriage.
We then enjoyed a full engagement shoot on the island leading up to a wonderful sunset, which was a lovely surprise for a March photo-shoot.
