Ready to propose? 

 

As photographers, we get SO excited to help you propose to the love of your life. 

 

It is fascinating and fun to be part of such a beautiful and emotional moment. At this point, you've probably already decided because you are crazy in love, and ideally, you are both excited about life together. It is an extraordinary moment and putting the pieces together to create something special requires some thought, a ring, and the desire to make your love happy. 

 

Ten tips to help you pop the question

 

 

  • Think about what she/he would like. Consider this to plan and get creative, and remember that it is all about them. Please pay attention to what is exciting, romantic, or fun to them. If you are still unsure, ask their friends for ideas or bring it up in a CASUAL conversation. 
  • Include family and friends. It means a lot to everyone, especially parents, and they will help you plan and execute. 
  • Find the location. Is it at the beach, the gardens, your favorite spot, or romantic Saint Augustine? Talk to your photographer to help you arrange it and, if possible, take a walk in the area. 
  • Make it personal and emotional with details such as flowers, favorite songs, favorite activities, or colors. **A bottle of champagne is always welcome.  
  • Hire a photographer. Those moments and reactions are priceless. It is a BIG deal, and we will be there with all the pro tips and tricks to help you propose to your love! 

  • Get it on Video! This is the ultimate gift!! Don't think twice; it is worth it. 

  • Get friends or family to help you get their nails done and give yours some love too! Hands are protagonists in these moments. 

  • Make sure she/he is photo-ready. There are a few excuses to make this work, including but not limited to: you are helping a friend with photos, reservations at a fancy restaurant, or an invitation to a particular dinner party.

  • The actual proposal moments go by really fast, so take your time to speak from your heart. No need to rush! Traditionally, most people kneel, but it is entirely up to you. Also, keep in mind that the ring goes on the left hand. 

  • Plan for a celebration after! Dinner, intimate party, or a surprise party, make the moment last with your loved ones. You bet they will want to show the ring around!
