Best Locations for a Boat Proposal
in Montenegro
Bay of Kotor
This bay is one of the most popular places for a boat proposal in Montenegro. Propose near Perast or in front of Our Lady of the Rocks. This small island with a white church looks great in photos. The sea is often calm, and the views are amazing.
Budva Riviera
This area is known for its beaches and nightlife. But you can also find quiet water here. A sunset proposal on a boat near Budva is simple and beautiful. You can see the old town and the sea at the same time.
Sveti Stefan
This famous islet looks great from the water. You cannot go on the island, but you can propose in front of it. It is great for sunset photos.
Hidden Bays and Beaches
If you want full privacy, go to a small bay. Some boat captains know secret spots. You can ask them to stop at a quiet beach for your engagement on a boat.

Engagement Photoshoot in Montenegro
D+L
As I read through all the reviews, I can only confirm every single point. Mariia played a huge role in the success of our engagement. From the very beginning, the communication was fast and easy, and everything from payment to planning was handled smoothly and professionally.
She was incredibly responsive to our individual wishes and provided organizational support whenever we needed it.
But most importantly – her skills as a photographer are truly outstanding. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful, beyond anything we could have imagined.
What made the experience even better was that Mariia had everything under control – lighting, angles, timing – which allowed us to fully focus on each other and enjoy the moment. She stayed discreetly in the background, yet perfectly captured every important detail.
Thanks to Mariia, we have these memories preserved forever. We will never forget this moment, and we can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone!

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Maria and Vasilii for our engagement photos in Montenegro. They went above and beyond to make our day special. They met us right by the cruise ship and drove us to the beautiful town of Perast. From there, we took a boat to a stunning island, which made for some incredible photo opportunities. After the shoot, they even waited patiently while we enjoyed a leisurely lunch.
What really impressed us was how quickly they delivered a few stunning photos within just a day, allowing us to share those special moments right away. The rest of the pictures, which were equally amazing, were sent to us within two weeks.
The whole experience was seamless, and I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. We will definitely reach out to them next time we’re in Montenegro. Highly recommended!

Reasons you should choose Maria to capture your special moments:
1) She is an extremely talented photographer. She is very good at using natural light in beautiful settings. Her style is warm, bright and natural without looking “too edited”.
2) She is a great communicator who makes the planning process very easy! This is especially helpful if you’re coming from a different country to visit.
3) She is so nice and such a pleasure to work with!
4) She prepares the photos quite quickly and can share them with you online.
We absolutely loved working with Maria and highly recommend that you work with her too!
