Personalize your save the dates

Most couples use their engagement photos for their wedding invitations, but a proposal photo can be a great alternative! You won’t have to wait until your engagement photos are ready and the proposal photos bring your family and friends in on the moment.

Have a mini engagement session

Chances are you’re already both dressed up and fancy, and with a photographer there too, why not capture a few more images? These don’t have to be your official engagement photos, but taking photos together is a great way to capture the raw feelings of the moment. If you do intend on taking engagement photos, take a look at my Engagement Photos to give you an idea of what to possibly expect.

You don’t have to rely on less experienced friends or family

Of course, you can ask a friend to take photos or film your proposal, but they may lack the skills or be too obvious and ruin the surprise. Not only does a professional photographer have the experience and skill to capture high-quality, frame-worthy images, but they also know how to take photos from a distance to maintain the intimate feel of the proposal.
