If you're thinking about taking one of the most important steps of your life, Cartagena could be the perfect setting. This magical city has it all: breathtaking sunsets, colonial architecture, the Caribbean Sea, and an energy that inspires romance.
Below, I share four unforgettable ideas for proposing in Cartagena, all based on real experiences I've photographed as a professional.

1. Sunset Boat Trip in the Bay 🚤🌅

Imagine sailing with your partner through Cartagena Bay as the sun sets behind the city walls. The golden light of the sunset, the warm breeze, and the sound of the water make this moment an intimate and magical experience.
💡 Tip: You can coordinate with the captain to pause in the middle of the water just when you're about to pop the question. A perfect spot for cinematic photos!
2. Marriage proposal at the dome of San Pedro Claver Church 🏛️💍

This is one of the most iconic spots in the historic center. From the top of the dome, you can see all of Cartagena: the sea, the walled city, and the sky.
Ideal for those looking for something elegant, symbolic, and steeped in history.
📸 Photography tip: The light here is beautiful in the late afternoon, and the colonial setting gives the photos a timeless feel.
3. A proposal with a Flying Dress 👗🌬️

The famous Flying Dress is perfect for original proposals with an editorial touch. This concept has become a trend, and Cartagena is one of the most photogenic places to do it.
The result: a blend of fashion, emotion, and scenery that will be remembered forever.
4. Surprise dinner at a romantic restaurant 🍷🕯️

Some of Cartagena's best restaurants offer private dinners on terraces overlooking the sea or in colonial courtyards surrounded by flowers.
You can arrange a special dinner and propose amidst drinks, candlelight, and an intimate atmosphere.
🎥 Bonus: Many clients hire me to capture that moment as a surprise, and then we do a mini photoshoot right afterward.
