Florida Proposal Photography — Palm Coast & St. Augustine

I’m Paola, and I photograph surprise proposals with discreet coverage and calm guidance—so you can stay fully present, keep it a surprise, and relive the “YES” forever.

  • Discreet coverage (I blend in, you do your thing)

  • Planning help: timing, light, location, and simple cues

  • Gentle direction after the proposal for natural portraits

You plan the moment. I’ll help make it effortless (and secret).

 

  • Discreet approach: I arrive early, blend in, and stay out of the way.

  • Simple proposal plan: location + timing guidance that photographs beautifully.

  • Day-of support: quick texting so you’re never guessing what to do next.

  • Backup options: crowds, weather, and lighting plan B.

  • Celebration portraits: we transition into a mini engagement session right after.

 

Your proposal shouldn’t feel staged.

 

 

If you’re worried your partner will notice a photographer (or you’ll feel awkward), you’re in the right place. I’ll help you choose a plan that feels natural, give you an easy cue, and then step back so the real emotion can unfold. After the “yes,” I’ll guide you with simple prompts so your portraits feel genuine—not stiff.

How it works

Step 1 — Inquire

Share your date (or trip window), your location idea, and the vibe you want (beach, downtown, private, epic, simple).


Step 2 — Plan (in secret)

We’ll create a simple plan: best time for light, where you’ll stand, where I’ll hide, and what your “cue” will be.


Step 3 — Propose + Celebrate

I capture the full story—then we take a few just-engaged portraits right after while the emotions are still fresh.

Not sure where to propose? I’ll help you choose a spot that feels like you.

If you have a dream location—amazing. If you don’t, that’s normal. Tell me the vibe (private, scenic, historic, beachy, downtown), and I’ll suggest a few options that photograph beautifully for the time of day you’re planning.

 

  • Flagler Beach + Palm Coast overlooks and dunes

  • Washington Oaks Gardens (romantic + lush)

  • Downtown St. Augustine streets + historic corners

  • Beach proposals near St. Augustine at golden hour

 

Some locations may require permits; I’ll guide you if that applies.

 

What it's like to work together

 
 "We had such an amazing experience with Paola and her team!! She was so incredible to work with, and she was almost as happy and excited as we were about the engagement! It created such a positive atmosphere and she captured memories I will cherish for a lifetime. Before the engagement, I learned my fiancé coordinated on several occasions with her to make sure everything was perfect, and she made sure to be discreet so I was none the wiser. I would highly recommend Ohlson Photography for any special occasions in your life, you won’t regret it!"
