R and B spent the day hiking through Montserrat, just enjoying the trails and the views. At least, that’s what B thought. R had been planning something all along, and I was there to capture it without giving anything away.
When he got down on one knee, there were tears and a big yes. Moments like that can’t be staged, which is exactly why I love capturing real reactions instead of posed ones.
Montserrat turned out to be the perfect place for it. The endless mountain views give a proposal room to feel as big as it actually is, and a day spent hiking together beforehand means the moment lands as the natural high point of the day, not just a quick stop for photos. If you’re planning a surprise proposal near Barcelona, it’s hard to beat.
