Thoughtfully Planned & Beautifully Documented Proposal Photography in Boston

Planning a proposal is one of life’s most meaningful moments, and it deserves to be captured with intention, artistry, and care. As a Boston proposal photographer, I specialize in documenting surprise proposals with a seamless blend of candid storytelling and editorial portraiture.

With an intentional mix of documentary storytelling and artful editorial imagery, I capture the real emotion and excitement of surprise proposals. From a discreet distance, I document every kiss, embrace, and happy tear, preserving the fleeting moment so you can relive it for years to come. Once the happy tears begin to dry, we’ll transition into a relaxed engagement session.

Using natural posing and gentle prompts, I’ll guide you through portraits that feel playful, effortless, and true to who you are. My Boston proposal photography services are designed to create a cinematic, heartfelt story of this once-in-a-lifetime moment.

Your Step-by-Step Plan to Dream Proposal Photos

A proposal comes with many moving parts. My planning process ensures everything feels seamless while keeping the big moment a surprise and capturing your dream photos.

Discovery Call

We’ll begin with a call to get to know one another. I’ll learn about your love story, your proposal vision, and what matters most to you. This allows me to guide you through the planning process with confidence and care.

INQUIRE TODAY

Reserve your Proposal Date

A signed contract and retainer officially secure your proposal date. From there, we’ll begin planning the details of your special moment.

Seamless Proposal Planning

If you haven’t chosen a location yet, I offer an extensive list of scenic proposal locations throughout the Boston area. I’ll even help you select the ideal time of day to ensure the best possible lighting.

In-Person Location Scouting

Whenever possible, I recommend meeting at the proposal location ahead of time. This allows us to map out exactly where you’ll propose and where I’ll be positioned to discreetly capture the moment. If you’re traveling from out of town, I’ll location scout on your behalf and share the plan with you through photos and videos.

Pop the Question

The big moment of your proposal is finally here! From a discreet vantage point, I’ll document the emotion and energy of the moment as it naturally unfolds, giving you the freedom to experience it without interruption.

Engagement Session

After the proposal, the remaining time is used for a relaxed engagement session. This is the perfect way to document the next chapter of your love story. With fun prompts and natural movement, I’ll guide you through effortless portraits that allow authentic personalities—and newly engaged joy—to shine.

Gallery Delivery

Within 48 hours, you’ll receive sneak peeks to share with family and friends. Your full online gallery of professionally edited, high-resolution images will be delivered 3–4 weeks after your proposal, ready to be relived again and again.
