Photography & film by Arbo Rae

Pedro and Gil’s marriage proposal took place beside a lake in the Tromsø region, with the Northern Lights above them and a fire on the shore. I photographed the proposal and took portraits beneath the aurora afterwards.

I also made a short cinematic film of the proposal and the surrounding night landscape, adding movement and sound.
