”WAIT,…WHAT DOES THIS SECRET PROPOSAL STANDS FOR?”

The term of the Secret Proposal or Surprise Marriage Proposal is a quite well-known event not only in the United States. You can think of it as an upgraded Marriage Proposal, when one of the partners decides to propose to their significant other; however, on top of that, they decide to simultaneously book in advance a photographer for the same place and time to capture these unique moments! (Yes, the other partner has no idea what’s about to happen) And that is why this proposal is called the ”SECRET PROPOSAL” or ``SURPRISE PROPOSAL!``

& JÖKULSÁRLÓN

ICE, ICE BABY!

I was contacted by Nick on very short notice as he was looking for someone to capture his secret marriage proposal here in Iceland. His idea was kneeling at the diamond beach with a sunset behind him. Once I heard his idea, I had to be honest with him during our initial video call and prepare him for a more likely scenario - rain, cold wind, and winter darkness.

During our second call, we had easy going discussion to find out the plan for the upcoming secret proposal for Nick. As we went deep into the planning, several potential options had emerged, and we had chosen the most optimal ones for both of us. I needed flexibility and majestic surroundings and Nick relative privacy - the Diamond Beach was our final pick.

Luckily enough, as I was arriving at Jökulsárlón and Diamond Beach, the sun actually peeked out and sent us some of its last amber rays of sunshine for that day. I was positively challenged with many different light conditions, ranging from super bright sunset laser beams to very blue darkness full of icy tones after the sunset. After the Proposal, I was introduced to his just-proposed fiancée, Makayla. We have then decided to continue alongside the Jökulsárlón coast to take some more pictures from this amazing location.

SECRET PROPOSAL

SHE SAID

YES!

Victor´s girlfriend, Lexi, is a big-time horse enthusiast. Therefore, he has decided to visit one of the most interesting Icelandic stables and spend the whole day in the company of these unique creatures. Ultimately, that's when he also wanted to propose to her at the same time!

On the day D, Icelandic weather was showing its full powers through strong gusts and heavy rain penetrating through our clothes. However, we all remained calm and witnessed one of my favourite moments within secret proposal photography of all time here in Iceland when one of the horses sensed the very importance and high emotional vibrations in the air and decided to cuddle with the just-engaged couple of Victor and Lexi!

A quick stop in between the actual horse rides gave us the opportunity to visit one of the local, more private waterfalls as well, so we made sure to use every opportunity we had on our hands.

STOKKSNESS BEACH

The Icelandic East Region has many epic sites like Stokksnes Beach and its view of Vestrahorn mountain. I was contacted by a young and very charismatic man from Canada. His idea was to propose with a background of the stunning Vestrahorn cliffs, which are jaw jaw-dropping site and definitely worth visiting even if you are not planning to propose to your beloved one.

As our photoshoot began, the unpredictable Icelandic weather provided us with better conditions, so we were lucky enough to also visit one of the local waterfalls and enjoy this even more secluded site almost alone for a few hours.

SECRET PROPOSAL

Proposal on The

BLACK SAND BEACH!

This cute couple from Canada decided to visit Iceland. Harrison decided to propose here in Iceland in the best way - as a SECRET! Their schedule pretty packed, therefore, we have decided that best solution would be the famous black sand beach of Vik (Vikurfjara). Despite some harsh strong winds, we have managed to capture some the main Vik´s cliffs in the backround of the moment of the actual proposal. Wind blasted in our faces together with the black sands so we hid below mountains of Reynisfjalla.

WELCOME TO ICELANDIC

HIGHLANDS!

This photoshoot was my first experience to photoshoot same gender secret proposal with a cute couple from the United States. At first, I thought there might be at least some tiny differences, yet very quickly, I reassured myself that “love is love” and continued with my photoshoot as usual.

This time we visited a secluded area of mighty Háifoss (Haifoss) waterfall, which is located within a vast and eerie region of the Icelandic Highlands. This waterfall is truly epic, and to truly see its size, you need to follow the hiking path leading to the canyon below easier and more visited viewpoint.

At one moment, the sun hit the stream of the Haifoss Waterfall and literally exploded in colours which were spreading through the canyon. As we burst into screams and run close, I tried to snap a few shots of this truly magnificent moment before it was gone…

SEBASTIAN`s

SECRET PROPOSAL

ENGAGED

IN the STORM!

Sebastian has decided to propose his beloved partner in South Iceland at the black sand beach of Vik (Vikurfjara). As I anxiously monitored the weather forecast, we witnessed one of the worst storms approaching Iceland. We quickly decided to change the plans when one of the local caves provided us with a cozy shelter. The scene was mesmerizingly illuminated by raging storm.

“…We had such an incredible experience working with Ondrej

On the day of, both Ondrej was friendly and easy to work with, which really helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera. The photos turned out even better than I could have ever hoped for—they truly captured the moment perfectly.

Highly recommend Ondrej if you’re looking for someone who is not only talented but also thoughtful, prepared, and genuinely kind.”
