Surprise proposal experiences in Cancún & Playa del Carmen — planned, designed and cinematically photographed, so all you have to do is drop the knee.
Drop the Knee is a proposal planning studio based in the Riviera Maya.
We design the setup, scout the spot, coordinate the timing, and capture every second of it, so the only thing you have to focus on is the question.
No stress, no guesswork, no generic beach setups. Just a moment that looks as good as it feels.
Most proposal companies plan first and book a photographer later. With 10 years of photographing couples in the Riviera Maya, we design every setup around how it will look in the photos: the light, the angle, the exact moment they turn around.
We know which beaches get crowded at 6 p.m., where the light hits just right, and how to keep your partner from suspecting a thing. That local knowledge is what makes the day run smoothly.
Forget the same red rose arch you’ve seen a hundred times. Our setups are bold, romantic, and a little bit unexpected, made for couples who want their proposal to feel like them.
Discreet communication, a separate proposal account, and a clear game plan. We coordinate everything behind the scenes so the surprise stays a surprise.
Fill out the form with your dates, location, and the vibe you’re going for. We’ll get back to you within 24 hours.
Setup, location, timing, logistics, and a step-by-step plan to get your partner there without suspecting a thing.
We handle setup, capture the moment, and pack everything up afterward. All you have to do is ask.
Already planned your own setup? Photography-only coverage is available — just ask.
We recommend booking at least 4 weeks ahead, especially during high season. Last-minute? Reach out anyway — we’ll do our best.
We monitor the forecast closely and will work with you on a backup time or location so your moment still happens. Weather options depend on each venue, so we talk through timing flexibility and a practical backup plan during planning — never leaving it to chance on the proposal day.
We offer setups on a public beach, as well as at private venues such as beach clubs, rooftops and cenotes. For private venues, the rental is included in the package.
Not from us. We communicate only with you and plan every detail to keep the surprise intact.
Yes, we do! We’d be honored to plan a memorable, custom experience to celebrate your love story — anniversaries, Mayan blessing ceremonies and vow renewals can all be arranged.
Not a problem! Our creative team will come up with two unique, thoughtful ideas based on your relationship, so you can choose the one that feels right for your moment. Sometimes it’s something as simple as a paparazzi-style shoot while you walk along the beach — whatever fits your personality.
