Things I would say about your proposal if I wasn’t afraid of hurting your feelings

Filed in : Proposal

I’ve been photographing proposals for a long time, and it’s probably my favorite thing that I do. 99% of the time, I’d say that my client’s priorities are in the right place. In my opinion, that means… What do I consider to be bad priorities? Welllllll…..Trying to impress other people, caring more about the decorations […]

Things I DON’T do as a proposal photographer

It’s all about finding the right balance between… These two things are often in direct opposition to each other. Each couple has different priorities. Planning and […]

Sekrit Theater Greenhouse Marriage Proposal | Joey & Kendall

Filed in : Proposal

#MarryMeMonday🥂 This is why I tell people to 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 after a proposal. This isn’t a photo session. Your proposal is bigger than the photos. Talk, enjoy the moment, and truly ignore me.  Some of the best candid photos are taken in the moments afterward, so there’s no need to rush into taking “posed” […]

Austin Sekrit Theater + Mueller Lake Park Engagement Photos | Natalie & Jesse

Filed in : Engagement

Natalie & Jesse!!!! I feel like this is not enough exclamation points. What a fun engagement photo session. 🤩 They kept me on my toes…dancing, spinning, and dipping the whole time.
