STEP 1:
BOOKING YOUR DATE + TIME
The most important part of planning your proposal photoshoot is picking your date & booking your photoshoot with me via my ‘book’ page (found here). Once we pick out the perfect date & time for your surprise proposal, I send over our digital contract to e-sign as well as the invoice for your retainer fee (read more about retainer fees here). And then it’s time to move on the the second most important part of the planning process…
STEP 2:
SHARING WITH ME YOUR PROPOSAL VISION
My most favorite part of the planning process—curating your own special theme & vibe! Are you picturing a coastal session? The woods? Or maybe the International Rose Test Garden in Portland? Are you wanting to include props or a table setup? Whichever you choose, simple or all-out, I will make sure to execute your vision as perfectly as I can. Capturing what means most—the moment & memories themselves!
STEP 3:
CAPTURING YOUR PROPOSAL
The moment itself…your proposal! I always arrive to our location about 30 minutes - 1 hour before our scheduled session (depending on the extent of your setup/props) to ensure I get everything ready. I then act super nonchalant & normal as a tourist taking photos of the scenery, and once I see you walk up and kneel, I start shooting away—capturing every moment & emotion that unfolds.
STEP 4:
YOUR ENGAGEMENT PHOTOSHOOT
After I capture the initial proposal moments themselves, I give you two a few moments to really soak up the moment. I then walk up and introduce myself to the both of you! Then we move into the next part of your session where I help pose & give you fun prompts to capture all the candid + authentic emotions that you two are feeling—it’ll feel as if you’re absolutely floating! My goal is to always make sure you two feel as comfortable and confident in front of the camera.
