An Edinburgh photographer caught a “surprise” proposal on camera at a popular tourist spot.
Sharing the adorable moment on TikTok, the romantic gesture saw over 50,000 likes come in and collected over 500,000 views after the sweet couple celebrated their proposal with the photographer witnessing and capturing the moment.
Photographer Ezra explained how he pretends to be a tourist before capturing the wholesome moment. However, he said it was the “busiest proposal” he had ever photographed and has pleaded to others who may witness future engagements in Edinburgh.
After asking various people to get out of the shot, Ezra began snapping the couple as the male got down on one knee at The Vennel. As he posted the moment on social media, he added he “edited everyone else out” and explained it’s all part of the job.
Filmed before the beautiful moment took place, the couple can be seen approaching the photographer to ask for a picture. They started posing for a normal photo before the gorgeous proposal began to unfold.
Ezra said on TikTok: “This was the busiest surprise proposal I’ve ever had the pleasure to photograph. It wasn’t a pleasure editing everyone else out though but all part of the job.”
