There\u2019s no random foot traffic walking directly behind your proposal moment. The sand is clean, the ocean backdrop is uninterrupted, and the Ocean Terrace provides elevation and visual depth.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1901\" data-end=\"1949\">From a photographer\u2019s perspective, this matters.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1951\" data-end=\"1985\">When planning a proposal, we need:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1987\" data-end=\"2116\">\n<li data-start=\"1987\" data-end=\"2010\">\n<p data-start=\"1989\" data-end=\"2010\">Clean horizon lines<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2011\" data-end=\"2033\">\n<p data-start=\"2013\" data-end=\"2033\">Open walking space<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2034\" data-end=\"2083\">\n<p data-start=\"2036\" data-end=\"2083\">Backlighting opportunities during golden hour<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2084\" data-end=\"2116\">\n<p data-start=\"2086\" data-end=\"2116\">A predictable flow of people<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2118\" data-end=\"2358\">The Ocean Terrace allows for discreet positioning with a long lens. That means I can stay far enough away to preserve the surprise while still capturing facial expressions, hand gestures, and the exact second she realizes what is happening.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2360\" data-end=\"2475\">The difference between \u201ca proposal\u201d and \u201ca beautifully documented proposal\u201d often comes down to location logistics.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">When Mike called me asking questions about proposing to McKenna he had no idea how. He spent lots of time online researching the best places to propose in South Florida. \u00a0He made plans for a fancy dinner and he wanted the moment photographed. \u00a0While the place he picked was romantic, it wasn&#8217;t private enough and the timing was not conducive to getting the shot of her saying yes or a close up of her face showing her emotions. \u00a0 He had planned on taking McKenna to the beach side dinner at The Harbor Beach Marriott. \u00a0The problem with him proposing during the dinner was, it was too late in the evening and it was not private enough. \u00a0So I suggested that they take a walk outside on the hotels Ocean Terrace and propose out there. \u00a0In addition, I always include engagement pictures taken after she says I do.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>I arrived at the Harbor Beach Marriott early and prepared for the moment. \u00a0This meant, using a long telephoto lens, and a camera designed to capture the action.<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">After I was ready I sent Mike a text to let him know I was in position and ready for him and McKenna to walk out to the terrace. \u00a0It took some time and event though we planned on 5:30Pm it was close to 6:00Pm before the arrived on the Ocean Terrace. \u00a0During the time that McKenna was getting ready for what she thought would be a casual stroll and view of the ocean, Mike was texting me, &#8220;She isn&#8217;t ready yet&#8221;. my reply was, &#8220;let her take her time, don&#8217;t act like you need to rush. \u00a0I didn&#8217;t want her to have any idea what was soon going to unfold.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3716\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3716\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3716 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/jeffkolodny.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/02-Proposal.jpg\" alt=\"Best places to propose in South Florida\" width=\"640\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/02-Proposal.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/02-Proposal-480x600.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3716\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Look at that Ocean View!

South Florida\u2019s weather can be as unpredictable as love itself. Planning around the rainy season (June to October) might save you from unwanted showers. Aim for golden hour \u2013 the first or last hour of sunlight \u2013 for the most breathtaking natural lighting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-body font-regular text-gray-800 leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\" dir=\"ltr\">When it comes to keeping the proposal a surprise, communication with your photographer is key. Many photographers offer consultation sessions to help plan the logistics. Decide on a signal for the big moment, pick the perfect spot, and ensure there&#8217;s a story in place to get your significant other to the location without raising suspicion.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3723\" src=\"https:\/\/jeffkolodny.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/10-Proposal.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"669\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/10-Proposal.jpg 669w, https:\/\/www.kolodnyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/10-Proposal-502x600.jpg 502w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 669px) 100vw, 669px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"font-bold text-gray-800 text-h3 leading-[36px] pt-[21px] pb-[2px] [&amp;_a]:underline-offset-[6px] [&amp;_.underline]:underline-offset-[6px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Location, Location, Location!<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-body font-regular text-gray-800 leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\" dir=\"ltr\"><b><strong class=\"font-bold\">1.
