CAPTURING YOUR BEAUTIFULLY PLANNED PROPOSAL 

SURPRISE PROPOSAL PHOTOGRAPHY

PROPOSAL PHOTOGRAPHER & VIDEOGRAPHER

Proposing is as exciting as it is nerve-wracking. I want to help you plan and capture this most unforgettable moment. I've captured plenty of surprise proposals, so I'm here to guide you every step of the way! 

Your proposal deserves to be captured so that you can both relive that moment whenever you'd like. My approach is very supportive before the proposal, discreet during the moment, and leaves you with that 'wow.. these are amazing' feeling afterwards when you see the photo gallery. 

I guide you every step of the way so your partner feels surprised, you feel confident, and the moment unfolds perfectly.

LET'S CONNECT ON A CALL

We hop on a call to design the perfect plan. We talk through your partner’s personality, how you want it to feel, what moment matters most. I'll provide my 'how to propose' guide and offer all the tips I can! 

THE PROCESS

PLANNING YOUR SESSION

Once you’re booked, I’ll send outfit recommendations and a few location ideas that fit your vision, if we haven't decided already. You will know exactly where to stand, and where I'll be hiding. 

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

I arrive 30 minutes early and position myself. I capture the build-up, reaction, and all the emotions. After the proposal, we can do a portrait session while you're still glowing. You'll receive your sneak peeks that evening so you can share with friends and family!

Hayley, is an amazing photographer and an even more amazing person. I had an intricate plan for my proposal and not only was she cooperative but super helpful and thoughtful throughout the planning process. She went out of her way to make sure my proposal went the way I wanted it too. She captured our proposal beautifully and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better to capture this moment than her!

Hayley did our proposal photos and I still can’t get over how gorgeous they are - she made us feel so comfortable and captured all these beautiful candid moments of our relationship in such a natural way. Nothing felt awkward or too posed at all. It started as a surprise proposal and Hayley also worked incredibly hard behind the scenes to make sure I suspected nothing. It was absolutely perfect! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her, she is truly worth every penny.

ALL YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Where are you located?

Victoria, BC! I also regularly take bookings in my hometown of Campbell River, traveling across over Vancouver Island and the rest of the world.

Why Do People Typically Choose To Work With You?

The couples I work with value: 

- iPhone video coverage, they want both photo and video! 
- Quick photo delivery, they want to share the excitement right away
- Plenty of guidance during photoshoots that lead to natural, real and joyful images. Nothing cheesy or overly posed
- High Quality Images of your choosing (aka you pick all the images you want to ensure you love every single one)
- Support, tips and advice for all things proposals! They value the support I offer leading up to the big day
- A quick turnaround time where galleries are delivered in under 4 weeks
- Working with someone organized - I help with location and activity planning, send pinterest mood boards to ensure we’re aligned, and assist with outfit choices

Most people aren’t used to being in front of the camera. My clients love how much feedback I give during these shoots, and I’m happy to show you behind the camera to further express how amazing you look together

Do You Offer Multiple Packages?

Yes, I have 3 main packages ranging from quick 20 minute sessions, to those longer, more candid packages!

What Is The Cost?

I have over 10 years in this industry and I’m confident in how much energy, time and support I give my clients before, during and after the session. Because I take a very limited number of bookings per year, you are my top priority. Prices range between $900-$1900

What Do We Wear?

Depending on your location, I will provide you with plenty of examples of what you can wear! You’ll receive an ‘Outfit Guide’ or a Pinterest Vision Board for your session to help inspire your outfit choices.

How Do You Ensure We Love Our Photos?

You’ll receive sneak peek images within 4 hours of the session! This way, if you don’t love the colours/edit of the image (which has never happened), you can let me know before I finalize the rest of the edits!

In 4 Hours: Receive your sneak peek images so you can share right away!

In 1 Week: Receive your ‘Proofing Gallery’ where you choose your final images

In 4 Weeks: Your final gallery will be delivered

I know you’ll love your photos because you get the final choices in images!
