Meet Lena, the insider of the team. She is a certified Paris tourist guide, so she knows the city beyond the postcards: the quiet courtyards, the calm corners, the spots where a proposal feels intimate even in the heart of Paris. With more than 100 surprise proposals behind her, Lena reads the moment perfectly. Her style is organic and spontaneous, letting the emotion unfold on its own, yet she directs with elegance whenever the scene calls for it. And her famously warm nature means even the most nervous proposer arrives at the question feeling calm.

Lena and her assistant were excellent from the beginning.
First of all, Lena made it so easy to communicate with her, in order to plan my proposal and suggested the perfect location, free of crowds. She also kept in touch prior to the big day in order to ensure I had the exact location by sharing the pin on Google maps. On the day, Lena and her assistant acted as tourists to mark the exact location for me to stand at and guide my fiancé to be to. This meant they remained completely inconspicuous until after I proposed. They then conducted an hour long photo shoot taking us to three perfect locations. Lena gave excellent guidance for all of our photos and for two people who are a little shy in front of camera, she made us feel completely at ease and we spent most of our shoot laughing together.
