Proposal photographer in Mallorca

A proposal is the one session where the photographer must not be noticed until after the answer, and on this island that decides the location more than the view does. The Parc de la Mar below La Seu always has walkers, runners and people with cameras, which is exactly the cover we need: one more person photographing the cathedral draws no attention. Formentor is the opposite. At sunrise the viewpoint is nearly empty, and a stranger with a long lens is obvious, and getting someone up before dawn and onto a cliff road without explaining why is a plan in itself. Deià sits between the two, busy enough in the evening, and the last hour lights the village from the front. A proposal photographer here starts with the question of how you will get your partner to the spot without a reason, and works back from it.

When to book in Mallorca

Aim for the hour your partner would expect to be out anyway. In Palma that is the early evening walk, which in summer means the hour before sunset, after the heat has eased; La Seu is lit at any hour, so the timing can follow the plan rather than the sun. In Deià it is the two hours before sunset. Check the wind: a breeze ruins the reflection in the pool at La Seu and makes a speech hard to hear on a viewpoint. April to June and September to October are the easy months. In July and August pick a weekday if you can, when the popular spots are less crowded.
