An unforgettable Tromsø proposal

Planning a proposal is one of the most exciting milestones in life, and when Luis contacted me, he wanted something a unforgettable Tromsø proposal for his girlfriend, Maria. His dream was not just to get engaged but to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience in the Arctic. They traveled all the way from Costa Rica to Tromsø, Norway, to make it happen.

A Romantic Arctic Proposal in Tromsø

Luis envisioned an epic proposal surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, so we planned a full-day adventure in Northern Norway. Tromsø, often called the “Gateway to the Arctic,” is known for its stunning fjords, dramatic mountains, and remote beauty — the perfect setting for a surprise proposal.

To keep the plan secret, I posed as their guide and picked them up at the hotel. At the very first stop, Luis couldn’t wait any longer. Nervous but determined, he asked the big question. Maria’s reaction was filled with joy — tears, laughter, and a heartfelt YES. Champagne was popped, and the celebration began.

Why Daylight Was the Perfect Choice

Many couples come to Tromsø dreaming of a Northern Lights proposal, and it’s easy to understand why. The aurora is magical, romantic, and a bucket-list experience. But sometimes, expectations can ruin the surprise. Maria already suspected that a proposal might happen during their Arctic trip — especially under the aurora.

Luis, however, wanted to plan it differently. A proposal was in the cards, but he wanted to make sure it was a true surprise. That’s why he chose to ask the big question in daylight, during the very first stop of their adventure. This way, Maria didn’t see it coming, and the emotions were raw and genuine.

The choice of daylight also gave us another advantage: beautiful, natural engagement photos. The soft Arctic light, the dramatic landscape, and the chance to capture every detail made the moment even more powerful. While the Northern Lights are stunning, daylight proposals often allow for clearer, more emotional storytelling through photography.

Waterfall Adventure in Lyngen

After the proposal, we continued the journey to a remote waterfall in the Lyngen Alps. This part of the adventure made the day even more special. Standing by the powerful waterfall surrounded by raw Arctic nature was both thrilling and romantic. The atmosphere was magical — the sound of rushing water, fresh mountain air, and dramatic scenery created the perfect backdrop for unique and emotional engagement photos.

They started off with a romantic picnic overlooking the waterfall, enjoying som hot chocolate, reindeer sausage snacks and handmade northern lights chocolates.They even got to experience a local husky pack getting their daily workout.

These moments turned into images that captured not only the proposal but also the spirit of adventure and love in Northern Norway. Proposals like this are what make Tromsø one of the best places in the world for couples looking for a meaningful, unforgettable experience.
