Best locations to do a couple photoshoot or propose in Madrid

Do you want to do a couple photoshoot? Are you planning to propose to your partner? Would you like to do it in Madrid?

I work as a wedding and engagement photographer so I’m used to capturing beautiful surprise proposals in different areas in Madrid. Also, I have work in different cities like New York, Los Angeles, Paris, London and San Francisco and I have captured more than 400 proposals.

This city is the perfect place to do a magical and dreamy proposal. It will be a special and unique moment in your lifes , so I would love to help you during the process and photograph the moment without your partner noticing anything.

Also, hiring a proposal photographer will allow you to capture and relive that moment again and again.

If you are interested in organizing a marriage proposal in Madrid and you want me to be the photographer of such a beautiful moment, let’s talk!

On this post, I want to help you to discover my favorite places to do a surprise proposal in Madrid. Obviously all the photos below are taken and edited by me. Let’s take a look!

Campo del Moro Gardens (my favorite!)

(20 min walk and 10 min drive from Plaza de Oriente)

Honestly, this is my favorite option. It’s a park that opens from 10 AM to 6/8 PM (depending on the season). It’s much more private than Retiro Park, and the views are spectacular. There are three entrances to the park, although I recommend the Principe Pio entrance as it’s the main one and always open.
