2. Let's Plan It
I’ll respond within 24–48 hours and we’ll set up a phone call to plan everything. We’ll talk through location, timing, lighting, and how I’ll stay hidden if it’s a surprise proposal so everything goes smoothly!
3. Lock It In
After our call, I’ll send over a contract and invoice for your deposit to secure your date and time.
4. The Big Moment + Delivery
About a week before your proposal, I’ll check in to confirm final details and make sure everything is set. On the day of, I keep communication very limited (especially for surprise proposals) to help protect the moment—so finalizing everything ahead of time is really important!

FAQ
How do surprise proposals work?
For surprise proposals, I’ll work with you ahead of time during our planning call to create a plan that keeps everything discreet while still capturing the moment naturally.
We’ll go over timing, where I’ll be positioned, and how I can stay hidden based on your chosen location. In some cases, I may also arrive early to scout the area so everything feels smooth and stress-free on the day.
Do you help with choosing a proposal location?
I can definitely help if needed! Start by thinking about places that are meaningful to your relationship. Maybe it’s the beach, a favorite park, or somewhere that’s been a special part of your story together. If you’re not sure where to begin, don’t worry, that’s what I’m here for!
During our planning call, I’d be happy to recommend a few beautiful locations around the Delmarva area and help you find the perfect spot for your proposal.
What happens after the proposal?
Once you’ve had a chance to celebrate and soak it all in, we’ll use the remaining time to capture photos of the two of you together. I’ll guide you through a mix of natural poses and candid moments while you enjoy being newly engaged!
