Travelling from London for a holiday in the city, he had arranged a private setting on the terrace of their riad, beautifully prepared by the hotel with flowers and champagne for the occasion.
On the day, I arrived ahead of the couple and discreetly positioned myself out of sight, ready to document the proposal without interrupting its intimacy. Solène had a slight feeling that something might be planned, but the moment itself remained a surprise.
As Benjamin presented the ring, I photographed the occasion from a discreet position, allowing the two of them to share the moment privately before revealing my presence.
The surprise was followed by champagne and a celebration on the terrace, before we continued with a portrait session throughout Royal Mansour. Against the property’s distinctive architecture and carefully considered interiors, we created a series of photographs capturing the first moments of their engagement.
From the anticipation of the proposal to the celebration that followed, every detail came together to make their stay in Marrakech particularly memorable.
