She Said Yes! Capturing the Magic of a Surprise Proposal

There’s something undeniably special about being invited to witness (and photograph!) one of the most life-changing moments in a couple’s story. A few weeks ago, I had the absolute honour of capturing a surprise proposal and let me tell you, my camera wasn’t the only thing shaking from excitement!

While the couple were out enjoying what she thought was just a casual stroll and a cute photo session, he had a different plan… 💍

With nerves running high, me pretending to take landscape photos, dropped to one knee, and popped the question. Her reaction? PURE JOY. Shock, laughter, tears, and that golden word: "YES!"

I live for moments like these. Unscripted, emotional, and absolutely overflowing with love.

Here’s why I LOVE photographing this surprise proposals:

They’re packed with genuine emotion
There’s something magical about capturing a secret plan unfold
It’s the perfect blend of planning + spontaneity A beautiful couples session after the proposal
And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a good happy cry?

If you’re thinking about popping the question and want someone to discreetly document every moment, from the nerves to the "yes!" I’m your person. I’ll help you plan the logistics, scout the perfect location, and be your stealthy sidekick behind the lens. (Bonus: you’ll have professional photos to remember it all forever.)

To the newly-engaged couple: thank you for trusting me to capture your love story. May your journey together be just as magical as that unforgettable moment.
