Krishna + James’ surprise proposal at Kenoza Hall was straight out of a Jane Austen novel.

5 Tips for Choosing Your Wedding Photographer! ➡️

Your choice of photographer is so important in the grand scheme of things, and an investment in your visual legacy.

Tziona + Lee’s October wedding at The Garrison is now live on my blog. Go check it out - link in bio.

When I asked them what their favorite memory of their wedding day was, this was their response -
“THIS IS TOUGH! But both Lee and I keep saying our favorite memory of the day was the time we spent with Caitlinn and Laurel wandering around in the woods all dressed up in the gown and suit. It was picture perfect in every possible way. It gave us time to be our goofy selves in beautiful nature/foliage on our special day before standing in front of all of those we love dearly to say “I do”. Other fan favorites were Lee missing the glass under the Chuppah the first time and Tziona falling over the chair being lifted during the hora (only a favorite because she was ok!). We loved the moments that did not go perfectly, as it was just simply US!”

Why I transition right into your engagement shoot after documenting your surprise proposal…
The time is now!
The excitement, passion, love, and vibes are at their highest. Everything feels new and exciting, why wouldn’t we want to thoroughly document that moment?!

My surprise proposal collections are essentially a proposal and engagement shoot in one. They typically last about 2 hours (more if we go to multiple locations) and I absolutely love photographing them.

The proposer and myself work together for weeks to months in advance planning the location, timing, and making a plan on how to get their partner to dress in something they would want to be photographed in, without giving the surprise away.

All the planning is ALWAYS so worth it. And I love sharing with their partner - how much time, consideration, and effort went into this moment. If it’s quite simply - if they wanted to they would.

And when it comes to Alex + Annie, he wanted to, so he did, and it was all for her. ❤️

If you’re planning to hire a photographer to document your proposal - don’t wait until a few days before to reach out, it’s never too early to start planning this moment.

Gosh I love my job. These two are magic in human form. Photographing proposals is starting to feel like a calling. Thank you to everyone who puts their trust in me to capture this ridiculously romantic moment in their lives.
