A Perfect Proposal at the Shangri-La Hotel in the Shard


There's nothing quite like capturing the magic of a wedding proposal, especially in a stunning setting like the Shangri-La Hotel in the Shard. I recently had the pleasure of photographing a truly unforgettable moment for a lovely couple visiting from Chicago.


The groom-to-be had planned the proposal down to the finest detail, enlisting the help of The One Romance, who specialise in creating dream wedding proposals. And what a fantastic job they did! The special room was adorned with flowers, rose petals, soft lights, and a huge neon love heart that set the perfect romantic atmosphere.

As a London wedding proposal photographer, I always get excited about these moments. The anticipation, the surprise, and the overwhelming joy are all part of the experience. This proposal was no exception. When he popped the question, she was absolutely over the moon – and yes, she said yes!


After the emotional proposal, the couple celebrated with a glass of champagne, taking in the breathtaking views of the London skyline. It was a beautiful moment that I'm sure they'll cherish forever, and I'm honoured to have been a part of it.


Capturing these special moments is what I love most about being a London wedding photographer. The city provides such a fantastic backdrop for love stories, and the Shangri-La Hotel in the Shard is one of the most iconic venues around. If you're planning a proposal or a wedding in London, I can't recommend it enough.


To the happy couple, thank you for letting me be a part of your special day. And to anyone reading this and thinking about a proposal in London, don't hesitate. It's a decision you won't regret, especially with the help of experts like The Once Romance to make your vision come to life.
