Why choose a photographer…
I’m not going to lie…every proposal that I have helped organise and document has been full of adrenalin and emotion (and that’s just me)! When you reach for the ring and get down onto one knee that time is so surreal that often I hear that people forget that actual moment.
Hiring a secret proposal photographer and organising an engagement couple photoshoot for your surprise engagement will allow you to capture and relive that moment again and again.
Your engagement photos will be ones that you'll cherish for a lifetime, so why settle for selfies? Preserve it with stunning engagement photos that you'll fondly revisit for years to come. Plus it will make the whole experience even more special.
How do I create the best engagement proposal experience?
`
Planning the perfect proposal is deeply personal, but here are some creative ideas to ensure it's unforgettable while maintaining the element of surprise. Reach out to me, and together, we'll craft an experience tailored to your unique story.
Mountaintop Couple Photoshoots: (most popular) Arrange a mountaintop portrait photoshoot as a holiday activity. Dress up for the occasion, and when your partner least expects it, you can seize the moment and propose on one knee. (A previous couple have also used a backstory that their work had given a couple photoshoot as a prize which I thought was quite cunning)
Private Proposal followed by Engagement Photo Shoot : Let me suggest a breathtaking location for your proposal, and I'll discreetly document the moment from afar. Afterwards, we can enjoy a leisurely walk and capture the magic and pure joy with a engagement couple photoshoot. (This may be more suited if you or your future fiancé is more shy and would prefer the moment to be just the two of you)
Unexpected Proposal: I'll scout for an amazing location and approach you, posing as a stranger needing a photo. Then, I'll offer to take a photo of both of you, creating the perfect opportunity for you to pop the question and get, in the moment engagement photos. The possibilities are endless!
Let's work together to make your proposal a moment you'll cherish forever.
