Capturing a big moment means that you'll want to share your news with friends and family right away, so I turn around select images within 24 hours—same day if possible. The rest arrive within a couple weeks.
Proposals
$600, includes a mini-session
Proposals are incredibly personal. You know your significant other better than anyone, so I'll encourage you to prioritize elements that make your proposal unique to you. Choose the place you had your first date or your favorite hiking spot. There’s beauty everywhere so don’t be afraid to go outside the Beltway. You’ve probably never done this before so I can help you plan for the time of day, the ruse to get your partner there, and where to kneel to get the best lighting. It’s going to be amazing!
Pure joy
Proposal Stories
“The turnaround time for the sneak photos was so fast! We got photos in a matter of hours.”
- Obed
Plan a dinner or show for after your proposal. It's the perfect cover to ensure your partner is dressed to impress when you bend the knee.
Q: Any tips to get my partner to dress up a little?
Don't let a little rain deter your plans. Though, if a downpour is imminent, having a backup indoor location is ideal. Consider finding a greenhouse, record shop, or cozy café to pop the question. Avoiding big-name companies often provides more unique aesthetics, and try choosing a location that will not be too dark and prevent me from seeing their reaction.
Q: What if it rains?
Proposal FAQ's
The monuments can be tricky. There are literally bus-loads of tourists, most often in the afternoon and evening, that risk stepping between you and my camera. If one of the monuments is special to your relationship, the mornings are your best bet to reduce complications. Tell your partner you're going to a brunch, Smithsonian, or early movie date afterward to help keep your plan a secret.
Q: Do you recommend DC's monuments?
Absolutely. Your proposal story should reflect who you are as a couple. If that involves us sweating a little to capture the moment, I'm good with it.
Q: What if I want to propose on a hike or other activity?
