You get to capture something to remember. Proposals are supposed to be exciting, memorable occasions. It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of the moment and forget the finer details so photography can help you to capture it and remember it over and over. Whether it’s the surprise on your partner’s face or the excitement in fifty years you feel when you look back, photographs serve as a reminder that this is a (hopefully!) once in a lifetime experience. Finding a photographer that specialises in this type of photography is key, however!
Preserving the moment. You’ll get to put aside this huge occasion into your albums, knowing that whenever you need a moment to feel happy and mushy, you’ll have high quality photos capturing a moment that will be preserved forever. Hiring a professional photographer means no shaky hands, no missed opportunities and a timeless outcome. You want the photos to be vibrant and detailed, and that’s why you pay a professional for the privilege.
As a total surprise! You can book a professional photoshoot photographer simply because you want this moment to be captured in surprise for your partner. If the proposal you’re planning happens to be a surprise one and you want it to be a big, exciting moment, then booking a photographer to catch that moment is a wonderful way to immortalise it. Having professional photos taken during the proposal creates an added layer of thoughtfulness and effort. You can show your love with the effort you make and your partner will forever thank you for it.
The expertise. Hiring a photographer for your proposal ensures that you get the expert angles and eye you need. Lighting, composition, timing - all of these things will be considered when you book wedding photographers, so why not with your proposal photographer, too? Instead of a self-timer on your phone or asking a friend, a professional can get the job done in a way no one else can!
It tells your story. Your entire wedding will be photographed and videoed and every event after that will also be caught on film to immortalise it. So, why not the proposal?? These photoshoots don't just catch the ‘yes’, but also capture the moments leading up to it. A good photographer captures candid moments, like the anticipation and the conversation you might have on the beach before getting down on one knee. They’ll even capture moments of joy afterwards as you embrace and sit in a bubble of love, knowing you’re together for good. It’s the perfect way to relive the entire process from start to finish.

6. It’s a keepsake. That photo album you get from the photographer is a keepsake for you both. It’s nice to be able to not only look back, but show your children and then possible grandchildren the moment you said yes. It’s that moment that created them and their children in the future because you said yes and built a life together. Having evidence of that is a keepsake you can’t say no to.
7. You can capture friends and family reactions. Proposals done in front of friends and family are always a risk, but if you know it’s the right thing for you both as a couple, the photographer in question won't just focus on you as a couple, but all of you together. They’ll capture the reactions and tears of joy from loved ones. Whether it’s family cheering or mothers wiping their tears, those images are set.
8. Stunning engagement photos are a good follow up. Once you have the proposal done, you can book an extended engagement shoot and keep that mix of joy and overwhelming happiness in the photographs. You can easily transition into an engagement shoot from here and make the experience feel like a cohesive one that’s so worth the time you spend on it. Many packages can combine the proposal with the engagement and it's super worth it!
9. It’s an exciting day. Every exciting event in your life deserves to be relieved and you get to do that with a proposal shoot. You can look back at yourself when you’re young, seeing all of the little details you may have missed before. You can even use the shoot images as part of your invitations to the wedding! This way, you can showcase your proposal to all of your friends and family if they weren't there for it. It’s a lovely way to give them their own gift, too.
10. You get a stress free experience. You don't want to set up a tripod for it to fall down in the wind or get stolen, so having someone else take the photos gives you the reassurance that you are going to capture the moment without any of the stress. Photographers can be discreet, hiding around corners and keeping themselves out of sight so that you can get the moment you want without any of the interruption.
Proposal photo shoots may not have been on your to-do list, but it should be. You want the keepsake, the memory to treasure and the chance to give your partner the gift of the future in one photoshoot. Photoshoots are not something to skimp on if you can avoid it so pick a package that works for you and make it your future.
