This past weekend, I had the absolute joy of capturing a proposal that was nothing short of magical. David and Viktoriaa’s engagement at the iconic Twelve Apostles Hotel in Cape Town was like something out of a romance novel, complete with all the details that make for unforgettable moments.

From the start, their arrival set the tone for what was to come. David surprised Viktoriaa by arriving in true style—by helicopter. The scenic flight itself must have felt like a dream, soaring over the Cape Town coastline with views of the sparkling ocean and majestic mountains below. When they landed, Viktoriaa's expression was one of awe, perfectly hinting at the beauty yet to unfold.
As they were guided to their destination, a breath-taking setup awaited them. Overlooking the endless ocean, a private gazebo adorned with flowing white drapes, lush floral arrangements, and a carpet of rose petals created an enchanting scene. Every detail had been arranged to perfection—a cosy picnic setting with plush cushions, lanterns casting a soft glow, and a blanket of petals that led to the spot where David would ask the question that would change their lives.
Being there to capture David and Viktoriaa's connection was a privilege. As David took Viktoriaa’s hand and twirled her, their laughter and the sparkle in their eyes brought a sense of intimacy and joy to the photos. Viktoriaa’s happiness radiated, her red lipstick adding a striking pop of colour against the serene, white drapery and lush green background. David’s calm and confident smile mirrored his excitement, and together, they created a moment so pure and heartfelt that it was impossible not to feel the magic in the air.
This proposal wasn’t just about the picturesque setup or the luxurious hotel; it was about two people deeply in love, celebrating their future together. Capturing these moments reminded me of the power of photography—to freeze emotions and memories that will be cherished for years to come. Congratulations to David and Viktoriaa! May your journey together be as beautiful and unforgettable as your engagement day at the Twelve Apostles.
