Proposal photography, planned in secret

A proposal session is 60 minutes for $450, including time to set up hidden before your partner arrives. We pick the beach access, the exact spot and a signal with you ahead of time, photograph the question from a distance, then do a short couples session right after. You get 40+ edited photos.

How does a surprise beach proposal work?

We plan the spot, cover story and timing with you before the day.

  1. We text or call to plan the spot and the cover story.
  2. We arrive early and hide or blend in as a beach photographer shooting someone else.
  3. You walk to the marked spot at the agreed time.
  4. We photograph the question and the reaction.
  5. We do a short couples session after.

Where should I propose?

We pick a quiet beach access with a clear meeting spot near the walkover. Our proposal guide covers dunes, easy-access beaches and calmer bay-side spots.

Where to propose

What time should I propose?

About 30 to 60 minutes before sunset, when the beach is calmer and the light is warm. Summer sunset is near 8 PM and winter is closer to 5 PM. The booking page shows sunset for your selected date.

What if it rains or storms?

One free weather reschedule. We make the call 2 hours before the session. Summer storms often pass by evening, so we watch radar together.

Can I add signs, flowers or a setup?

We can help with a simple setup for an extra fee. Ask when you book.
