  • A Walk Through with Your Photographer. Before you drop to one knee and ask that very important question, you will need to do a walkthrough with your photographer. This will allow them to get a feel for how you want the moment to go, and plan the best course of action they can take with their camera. Finding the best hiding spots, as well as the best places to capture photos is a must. Not only will your photographer get an idea for your proposal, but this allows you to ensure your plan is fully thought out.

  • Finding the Best Light. Lighting is a must for every photoshoot. In fact, lighting can create its own unique ambiance for your setting. If you are planning a fairytale worthy proposal, you can use the natural light to create a romantic setting. Your photographer will also need the best lighting to capture those magical photos, and they can work with you to find the best spots to capture your photos and propose.

  • The Best Locations for Your Photos and To Pop the Question. There will likely be a lot more to your proposal than just dropping to one knee and presenting the ring. A longer and more intricate proposal will offer you a variety of shots for your photographer to capture your special moment. You may begin in one area and work your way to the perfect spot to pop the question. You and your photographer can work together to see what locations will provide the best setting for your photos and your big question.

  • Memories. Your proposal will be over in the blink of an eye. Your nerves may be running high as you prepare to pop the question, which may make it difficult for you to fully remember such a special milestone within your life. Capturing your proposal through photography will assist you with ensuring that none of the memories fade. You will be able to document every smile, emotion, and even tears of joy, letting you relive the excitement time and time again.
