A Question, A Lifetime
Pull Off The Perfect Surprise Proposal
Discreet planning. Genuine reactions. Cinematic storytelling.
Why Choose Me?
A surprise proposal is a once-in-a-lifetime moment — and capturing it takes more than just showing up with a camera. Unlike photographers who document from a distance, I use discreet, believable misdirection's to naturally blend into the environment — allowing me to capture your proposal up close without giving away the surprise. I don’t rely on the same setup every time — each location, setting, and scenario may call for a completely different approach, whether that’s posing as a tourist, content creator, fellow visitor, or something tailored specifically to your plan. The result? Genuine reactions, raw emotion, and intimate moments captured as they naturally unfold, all while keeping the surprise completely intact.
The Process
Step 1:Send me an inquiry with your proposal date and ideal location (if you have one in mind). If you’re still deciding, I’m happy to help with location suggestions.
Step 2: We’ll schedule a phone consultation to go over your vision, proposal plan, logistics, and answer any questions you may have.
Step 3: Once you're ready to move forward, we’ll finalize everything through contract signing and retainer payment to officially lock in your date.
Step 4: Relax and enjoy the moment — I’ll work with you behind the scenes to make sure everything runs smoothly while keeping the surprise completely intact.
Please note: For proposals taking place more than 1 hour from Vancouver, WA, travel fees may apply. Send me a message for a custom quote.
 
Covert Proposal
Nervous about pulling it off?
You don't have to figure it out alone...
 
Pull off the ultimate surprise with The Covert Proposal — a discreet, professionally planned photography experience designed to capture one of life’s most unforgettable moments without ruining the surprise.
Just like in my viral Cathedral Park proposal video, I’ll blend in naturally as a casual photographer, tourist, or passerby while secretly coordinating every detail with you beforehand. From timing and lighting to positioning and backup plans, I’ll help make sure everything unfolds seamlessly.
Prefer something even more low-key? A fully discreet approach is also available, where I capture the moment from afar with no direct interaction at all — keeping the proposal completely unsuspected.
This is more than just a photoshoot. You’re investing in genuine reactions, cinematic storytelling, and an experience intentionally designed to feel natural, emotional, and unforgettable.
Every “yes” only happens once — let’s make sure yours is captured perfectly, without giving a thing away.

FAQ

For sessions or events that are in OR or WA and are located more than one hour from my base location, additional travel time will be billed at a rate of $75 per hour beyond the first hour to and back.
This ensures I can accommodate your session while covering the time and resources required for extended travel.
