A marriage proposal at the stunning Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, Florida was where this magical moment unfolded, and I had the privilege of capturing it. The love, the anticipation, and that life-changing "yes" are the moments I live for as a Florida-based photographer.
Marriage proposals are one of my favorite types of photography assignments. They're exciting, unpredictable, and filled with raw emotion. Each proposal I photograph brings its own unique challenge and joy. On average, I have the honor of photographing around 20 proposals a year, which means I've become quite the expert on how to capture these once-in-a-lifetime moments.
But here’s the thing about photographing marriage proposals—not everything happens perfectly in the moment. There are split-second decisions, changes in lighting, and spontaneous emotions that make every single proposal an exciting test of my skills. With my years of experience, I've learned how to plan and execute proposal photography sessions that make the experience stress-free for my clients while guaranteeing them stunning, unforgettable images.
Why hire a professional like me for your marriage proposal photography?
When you're planning your proposal, everything needs to be just right: the setting, the timing, the lighting, and of course, the moment itself. But here's what many people overlook—capturing it the right way can be just as important as the proposal itself. And sure, you could rely on a friend with a phone camera, but will they know how to handle shifting light at sunset, unforeseen angles, or even an unexpected breeze?
That's where I shine. Hiring a professional proposal photographer ensures that every little detail is captured beautifully. Lighting alone can make or break a photo, and I know how to use it to create vibrant, intimate shots where you and your fiancée are the stars. Beyond that, I make it my mission to know exactly where to position myself, how to use my lens and flashes effectively, and, most of all, how to be unobtrusive so the moment is all about your love—not the camera in the background.
Marriage proposals often present split-second moments that require me to adapt on the fly. Whether it’s repositioning myself for the best angle mid-proposal, tweaking my flash to complement suddenly dim skies, or adjusting my lens for tight or wide shots—I’ve got the experience to roll with the unexpected. Every decision I make behind the camera is about making sure that the moment shines in every frame.
When the moment arrives and the question is asked, you can trust that I’ll capture the joyful tears, the wide-eyed surprise, and the heartfelt laughter in all their beauty. Face-to-face shots of you and your fiancée are my specialty because I know how important it is to capture the emotions that make this moment so special.
