CLAUDIA & ALE - ENGAGEMENT PROPOSAL DESTINATION DUNES OF MASPALOMAS (GRAN CANARIA)

When Claudia asked me to photograph her engagement proposal, I was overjoyed. I had known Claudia for 13 years - we had attended university together long ago, before I dropped out to pursue a career as a fashion photographer just two months in. Remarkably, Claudia was the first person I ever photographed, as an inexperienced 18-year-old full of dreams.

Though I'm currently based in Newcastle, I travelled to Gran Canaria for the engagement shoot. We captured breathtaking images at two stunning locations on the island - Barranco de las Vacas and the renowned Dunas de Maspalomas. It was magical to document the couple's love in such a romantic, timeless setting.

At the end of the shoot, Claudia asked me to photograph their wedding, and I was thrilled to accept. However, Ryanair had other plans, changing my flights five times. Due to this unpredictability, Claudia had to find another photographer. But no worries - I'll be there when you renew your vows on your 25th anniversary! xoxo
