Quick Surprise Proposal Checklist:
For those couples that want to want to have that moment photographed! Every couple is different and some couples would rather celebrate quietly and without any fanfare. But for the madly-in-love couples who want to have their story told through photos, you can count on our experience and creative eye to document the moment beautifully and organically, capturing all of the joy, the tears, the laughs and the kisses of your surprise proposal.
Your Photographer will help you choose the best spot for planning, the best time for the proposal to happen and even a plan B !
Your photographer will have pro equipment that is fast and can endure the weather elements. The experience of the photographer also is important as we know how to anticipate for the best angle and coach you on this as well! ( They will also anticipate any photobombs)

You are so swept up in the proposal that will be so precious to have some visual aid to remember how it felt!

Laura went above and beyond to capture our wedding day. We had a few special requests, like some photos with our dog and photos of each table, and she took these in stride. We wanted the focus of the photography to be on our families, since we are rarely in one place at one time, and I feel like she succeeded in this 100% - all of the photos reflect the love and importance of family togetherness. She was so kind, compassionate, and incredibly easy to work with. She made the process effortless so that I could focus my time and energy on other aspects of the day and did not have to worry about the photography side of it at all. I would highly recommend Laura!
We are so incredibly happy that we chose Laura as our wedding photographer! Throughout the whole planning process, she was open, friendly and extremely helpful. She was quick to respond to all of my questions and I always felt like we were on the same page. Through every step of the process, she was there for us with her amazing ideas and suggestions. I really appreciated Laura’s calm demeanor on the big day – she was very professional and non-intrusive. Even more than being very organized and pleasant to work with, she is an exceptionally talented photographer!! We are so happy with all of our photos.
Laura’s wonderful work is going to help us remember how beautiful and joyous our wedding day was for the rest of our lives. Thanks so much, Laura – we appreciate you more than you know!
