If you’re reading this, you’re likely planning one of the most meaningful and exciting moments of your life. Proposing is a big deal, and making it a surprise? Even more thrilling.

As a professional photographer who’s captured countless heartfelt proposals, I’ve put together this quick guide to help you plan it smoothly, pull it off secretly, and make sure it’s captured in a way that you’ll treasure forever.

 

Why Hire a Proposal Photographer?

Proposals happen in seconds — but the moment lasts a lifetime if it’s captured right. My role is to:

  • Help plan the moment discreetly (timing, lighting, angles)

  • Stay completely hidden until it’s go-time

  • Capture the “YES!” in real time with emotion, clarity, and artistry

  • Transition into a quick post-proposal portrait session

I’m not just showing up with a camera — I’m helping choreograph one of the biggest days of your life.

The 4 Keys to Pulling Off a Surprise Proposal

1. Choose the Right Location

  • Think meaningful: Where did you meet, your first date, or somewhere with a stunning view?

  • Consider lighting: Golden hour (1 hour before sunset) is chef’s kiss for magical photos.

  • I can also help scout perfect proposal spots if you’re unsure.

2. Timing Is Everything

  • Avoid crowded times if you want privacy.

  • I’ll arrive early, find the best angle, and wait until you’re in position — so nothing is left to chance.

3. Have a Distraction Plan

  • Coordinate with a friend, say you’re taking couple photos, or suggest an outing.

  • Need help with an excuse or setup? I’ve helped tons of couples make it seamless.

4. After the “Yes”

  • Once the moment happens, I’ll reveal myself and guide you both through a short portrait session.

  • These fresh, joyful moments make for some of the most heartfelt images.

What You’ll Get With Me

  • Discreet coverage of the proposal moment 

  • Mini portrait session after the “yes”

  • Location consultation and planning help
