PROPOSAL IDEAS

Bonus Tips for your Surprise Proposal Photoshoot

• TAKE IT SLOW- when you’re down on your knee, try not to rush through the proposal. This allows your photographer to capture as many photos as possible.
• STAY FOCUSED- It’s totally normal to be nervous during a proposal, but try not to overthink it. Do your best to be fully present and don’t worry about posing or looking at the camera. As a photographer, I love capturing these moments in the most natural and candid way possible.
• Choose your location- choose a location that is meaningful to you both. Once the photographer knows where the proposal is happening, they can give you details on where they will hide and what direction you should be facing.
• Decide what to wear- I think anyone being proposed to wants to feel confident and look good while it happens. Plan a date night or tell them you’re going to dinner, so it’s not suspicious when you encourage them to dress up. Bonus points: treat them to a manicure a couple of days prior, so their nails look perfect in the close-up ring shots. Those shots tend to be a go-to for social media announcements. 
• Choose the time- Let your photographer know the exact time you’re planning on proposing, and make sure to watch the clock. You may want to feel it out and go a little rogue here, but by doing so, you’re taking the risk that your photographer may miss that perfect opportunity to capture your special moment.
