A Christmas-time surprise proposal at the Shangri-La Paris, photographed by Daniel. He went down on one knee on the private terrace of their suite, the Eiffel Tower filling the skyline — a hotel terrace is the most intimate way to propose in Paris: no crowds, no onlookers, just the two of you and the view. After the yes, the celebration moved inside the palace itself — portraits on the marble grand staircase beneath the stained-glass windows of what was once Prince Roland Bonaparte’s home, then twirls and kisses among the white-and-gold Christmas trees dressed for the holidays. Her feathered white mini dress against his black tuxedo, a bouquet of pink ranunculus, and a brand-new diamond made it a proper winter fairytale.
