Proposal on the pier in Dubrovnik

16 January, 2026

Travelers come to Croatia to see the old cities of Split and Šibenik, bask on the beautiful beaches of the Makarska Riviera, or plan a destination marriage proposal in Dubrovnik.

 

This couple flew to Europe from China. They chose Southern Dalmatia for its historical, cultural, and maritime attractions. The young man also planned a secret proposal in Dubrovnik. Unbeknownst to his girlfriend, he was preparing a surprise. He contacted the best Dubrovnik proposal photographer, and we discussed the details. I recommended several beautiful locations where the crowds of tourists wouldn't detract from the romantic mood. For example, the engagement viewpoint on Mount Srđ above Dubrovnik, the proposal beach in Dubrovnik overlooking the Old Town, and the historic square near Pele's Gate. These places are not only beautiful, but also among the top 10 locations for a marriage proposal in Dubrovnik.

 

At the appointed time, I waited for them in the Old Town, pretending to be a regular tourist with a camera. As the couple approached, the man and I discreetly nodded to each other. This was the signal that I was beginning the secret proposal photoshoot in Dubrovnik. They strolled leisurely toward the waterfront, holding hands, and I secretly photographed these moments. The man was visibly nervous. He could no longer contain his emotions. He knelt before the surprised woman and, whispering words of love, asked, "Will you marry me?" She couldn't hold back her emotions and, with the words, "Yes, of course you do!", kissed him tenderly. This moment was a celebration of love!

 

The happy couple continued their engagement photoshoot in Dubrovnik, on the picturesque streets amidst ancient architecture. This day marked the beginning of their journey together and the first chapter in the story of their new family.
