Get Help Planning The Big Moment
Get the best engagement photos by having the secret proposal photographer hide nearby at a comfortable distance. They will capture your big moment candidly to keep the surprise!
If you are proposing in a city you are not familiar with, your local photographer will know all the best spots. We’ll be able to suggest a few places for you to pop the question, the best time to go for crowds and lighting, and where the proposal photographer can secretly hide out while they wait for your arrival. You can even discuss a secret signal so that the photographer knows exactly when to start snapping the surprise.
Capture The Post-Proposal Glow
Post-proposal glow is a thing. After you pop the question, you can reveal that you had a photographer capturing the entire proposal. You and your fiancee will be extremely happy and excited, so it’s the perfect time to capture engagement photos.
The post-engagement photoshoot often lasts around 1 hour or longer and while it might seem fairly short, it can still give your photographer the opportunity to capture the post-proposal glow. You can even take advantage of the opportunity and get photos taken at a few nearby spots.
