Surprise Proposals
You may be surprised...(see what I did there? haha), but what I enjoy most about shooting surprise proposals is planning them with you. This is one of the biggest moments of your life and I want to be as involved in making it special as I can be. We will discuss everything from location ideas, timing based on your proposal plan, backstories, contingency plans, and even the direction you need to face before dropping the knee to ensure you get the moment captured perfectly! This is a prequel to your wedding and should be treated just as if not more serious.

Traditional Engagement Sessions
Let me start by congratulating you both on finding true love and your person. Now it's time for me to tell your story visually with my camera. Leading up to your session we will discuss locations that are special to you (i.e. where you met), ideal session times for the best possible lighting conditions, outfits, and photo inspiration and preferences to ensure your engagement session is uniquely captured perfectly!
