Adorable Boardwalk Proposal

I had to be SO sneaky for this proposal, since it was on a narrow boardwalk as you can see! I went so far as to bring a decoy that I will not discuss here so as to not tip any potential future readers off. She had no idea that I was there though, so I mastered my job! Proposals are truly one of my favourite things to photograph. Emotions are high, and everyone is overjoyed.

A lot of planning has to go into proposals on my end. Typically, the proposer emails me with their date and ideal locations or set location. From there I do a site visit if need be, maybe take a few photos, and then I draw an illustration for the proposer of where to stand and what angles to ensure that they will be in an optimal spot so I can make sure to get those perfect reaction shot. The pre-planning is always well worth it and I think helps people feel a little more organized and taken care of before hand as well!

My only wish is that more people thought to have the moment capture in advance. If you and your partner have discussed getting married and you’re not engaged yet, there’s no harm in dropping hints that you want the moment secretly captured ;)
