There is something so beautiful in the ability photos have to capture a moment in time, and preserve it forever. Looking at a photo takes you back to that moment and helps you relive the memories tied to it. They allow you to remember special occasions, loved ones, and experiences you want to remember forever.

We work with you to provide creative input and ideas for your surprise proposal. We encourage you to consider what your significant other would love — what is special to you both? Maybe it’s your favorite coffee shop or a street you take walks down together. Perhaps it’s where you met or somewhere you had your first date. I work with clients every step of the way to choose the perfect location, time of day, and secure the exact proposal spot — as well as unique add-ons like a champagne toast or any other important details!

A photographer knows just how to perfectly photograph the moment. We have both the experience and equipment to capture the perfect shot, even in challenging lighting conditions. I have photographed engagements in every weather condition from sunset to snow! After we solidify all the details in advance, I like to share our locations day of on our phones, and then secure my hiding spot as I wait. Part of photographing the proposal includes the proposal itself, followed by a series of portraits together as a couple as well as with any family and friends that may have also come for the surprise and to celebrate!

As part of your surprise proposal session, you will receive all edited high-resolution images sent to you in an online gallery ready to download and share!
