Payment
Half on booking to hold the date, half on the day.
How do you stay hidden?
We plan it together before the day: where you will stand, where I will be, and the signal. I arrive early and stay out of sight until you give it.
What happens after the yes?
We stay for photographs. Most of the hour goes on the time after the proposal, once the nerves have gone.
Can I propose at a holiday rental or a venue?
Yes. Check with the host or venue first, because many list "no events" in their rules. Most are glad to help once asked.
How soon do we see the photographs?
Five sneak peeks within 24 hours, so you have something to send family that night. The full gallery follows within two weeks.
Is an engagement shoot the same thing?
No surprise involved. It is a planned shoot for the two of you, at one or two places you like, with more time to wander.
Who films the video?
I do, on a camera-mounted phone, while I photograph. The photographs come first. The films are set to music, because a camera-mounted phone does not record clear voices from where I stand.
If we book our wedding with you later?
$100 off an elopement or small wedding booked within 12 months of your proposal or engagement shoot.
