The Bridge of Dee is beautiful, encompassed between two lush green banks; it's a wonderful place to set up a romantic proposal. The bridge has an outstanding medieval style structure and A listed structure grading and for many centuries was the only river crossing between Aberdeen and the South! Why not have a romantic picnic on one of the banks?

Make sure your photographer is on hand on the other side of the bank to get the winning shots.

If your partner goes wild for the wilderness, Donmouth Local Nature Reserve is a wonderful place to propose. With a preserved beach and a huge variety of Wildlife, you’ll have the Seals and Seabirds cheering you on for your romantic proposal. Why not make it extra special and propose at sunset or sunrise? And make sure you have an engagement photographer there to capture the beautiful moment and setting.

A beautiful five mile stretch of Sandy beach, Balmedie beach has won various seaside awards. You can even book Barbeque fire stands, perfect if you’re both avid foodies. Get that delicious BBQ food going, make a playlist of songs you both love and pop some champagne before you pop the question.
