Behind the Scenes of Matt & Megha’s Engagement
Matt reached out to me a few weeks before his trip, and we carefully planned every detail of the surprise proposal—from the meeting spot to timing and lighting. We chose a quiet and picturesque part of the city, perfect for a peaceful and emotional moment.Megha had no idea what was about to happen. As they walked hand-in-hand, Matt dropped to one knee, and I was there discreetly capturing the exact second of surprise and joy on her face. She said yes—of course! After the proposal, we continued with a relaxed photo session through the charming streets of Toulouse, capturing their love in golden light. From laughter to quiet moments, the result was a gallery full of authentic, emotional images that they’ll cherish forever.
