A single hour to ask everything: a photographed pedida de mano in San Sebastián.

Highlights
Outing Highlights
An hour to make the promise indelible
The experience is compact—an hour focused on the proposal itself so emotions and reactions are captured candidly and with intention, producing a set of images that preserve the moment.
From hidden seaside nooks to Belle Époque streets
Locations are chosen together to match your idea: a secluded lookout over the sea, a bridge with history, or a street with period charm—each offers a different backdrop and mood for the proposal.
A photographic narrative, not just portraits
The session emphasizes storytelling—light, emotion and sensitivity are used to tell your love story rather than staging obvious poses, producing images that feel intimate and genuine.
