Tenerife is one of the most beautiful places in the world to propose: sunsets over the Atlantic, hidden coves and good weather almost all year round. If you’re thinking of taking the step, here are a few ideas to make the proposal perfect and, above all, to capture it forever.

A romantic picnic set up just for you

One of the ideas couples fall in love with is a romantic picnic prepared in advance on a beach or at a viewpoint: a low table, cushions, flowers, candles and every detail taken care of. All you have to do is arrive hand in hand and let the moment happen.

For the setup I wholeheartedly recommend Picnic Canary, a team that specialises in romantic picnics and proposal set-ups in South Tenerife. They handle all the decoration, the logistics and choose the location with you. It’s the ideal option if you want the scene to be perfect without having to worry about a thing.

My part: capturing the moment

This is where I come in. As a proposal photographer and videographer in Tenerife, I capture the whole moment just like any other photo session: the knee on the ground, the reaction, the embrace and the first happy tears. These are seconds that never repeat, and they deserve a proper proposal video and photos to match.

After the surprise we do a short engagement session right there, relaxed and celebrating, so you have beautiful portraits from the day you said yes. You can see how I work as an engagement photographer in Tenerife, shooting proposals and events, on my event, wedding & proposal photography page.

The best locations to propose in South Tenerife

  • Beaches at sunset in Adeje and Costa Adeje, with golden light falling over the sea
  • The cliffs of Los Gigantes, dramatic and highly photogenic
  • Quiet coves near El Médano or Playa San Juan
  • Mountain viewpoints on the way to Teide, for something more intimate and dramatic

The time of day matters as much as the place: sunset light transforms anywhere, so we choose it together based on where you want to propose.

The perfect combination

The formula that works best is simple: Picnic Canary sets the scene and I capture the moment. That way you only have to take care of the one thing that truly matters that day, which is the question.

If you want to propose in Tenerife and keep that memory forever, get in touch and let’s talk.
