SURPRISE PROPOSAL PHOTOGRAPHY
VIBRANT, CANDID & TIMELESS IMAGES
You're about to propose, how exciting! You & your future fiancé deserve the best experience possible. Thankfully, you’ve come to the right place.
Picture this - you arrive on the day of your proposal calm, cool and collected because you’ve hired a professional who will help you with the plan from start to finish.
As a published proposal photographer with hundreds of proposals under my belt, it’s safe to say I’m an expert.
I’m up for any idea you may have. I’ve captured proposals inside caves, on paddle boards (yes I brought my camera on the river!), and so much more. I have a wealth of knowledge on how to make your proposal go off smoothly.
Don’t have an idea of how you want to propose? I’d love to help you come up with the perfect plan. Also, I’ll provide a helpful guide to ensure your proposal goes off smoothly & you both have the most amazing experience of your lives.
Check out my portfolio and different collections and let’s make some magic!
“Melissa creates magic in her work. She captured the most special moments for my fiancé and I. She is super personable, professional as well as passionate about her work. The fact that she took her time and made an effort to make sure the setup and timings were perfect for us was above and beyond. She worked with my family to make it the surprise of a lifetime for me. We will forever treasure these moments that she captured for us. We highly recommend her and definitely hope to work with her in the future.”
“Melissa went above and beyond and blew my expectations out of the water! From the very beginning she was very informative and helpful. She took the time to help me plan out my surprise proposal and helped turn what I envisioned into a reality and so much more! Melissa would update me every step of the way as we got closer to the special day. I’m not very photogenic and tend to get awkward when it comes to photoshoots/posing, but Melissa made it super smooth and natural and the pictures show it! Not only did the pictures turn out amazing, but the overall experience couldn’t have turned out any better! HIGHLY recommend her!”
“Melissa was an absolute breeze to work with and captured the most beautiful photos of my Fiancé and I! She was responsive, professional, polite and I was very impressed with her turnaround time.
Melissa, thank you for being there (in a kayak in the middle of the lake with very expensive equipment LOL) to capture this moment!
I will forever cherish these pictures and recommend Melissa’s services to everyone who is in search of a photographer for any situation or event!”
“11/10 WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND USING MELISSA!”
