You've been holding onto this for a while now.
The ring, the timing, the place you keep picturing it happening. You don't need a photographer who just shows up. You need someone who helps you plan it, then disappears until the moment you need them.
This is a moment you only get once.
WHY HIRE SOMEONE FOR THIS
You could try to capture it yourself — a friend with a phone, a tripod propped against a rock, hoping the angle works out. Most of the time, it doesn’t. The light’s wrong, the framing’s off, or worse, she notices the camera before she notices you kneeling.
You’ve thought about it for weeks, maybe longer. The way she’ll look at you. What you’ll say. Whether your hands will shake.
You shouldn’t also have to think about whether someone caught it.
Four steps, and only one of them is yours.
HOW THIS WORKS
01
You tell me about vision
Not just logistics — what would feel like the two of you. That’s how I find the right spot and the right angle before you ever show up.
02
We plan it together
The location, the timing, the story you’ll tell her to get there without raising suspicion. I know which overlooks hold up in photos and which ones get crowded by golden hour.
03
I disappear
You walk in like it’s any other day. I’m already positioned — far enough back that she won’t notice, close enough that I won’t miss it.
04
You ask the question
That’s the only part that’s yours to carry. Everything else has already been handled.
LOCATIONS
Somewhere quiet, away from the crowds.
Lake Tahoe
Quiet overlooks, lakeside trails, spots away from the crowds.
Yosemite
Valley viewpoints, granite ledges, places that don’t show up on every map.
Have somewhere else in mind? Tell me. If it’s reachable, we’ll plan around it.
SESSIONS
Two ways to hold onto the moment.
The Moment + Video $ 1,050
Up to 1 hour · Photo and video
Everything in The Moment, captured two ways — photos for the full story, video for the moment itself, exactly as it happened. The location is scouted in person beforehand, so I know exactly where to stand and where to stay out of sight. Photo by the next day, full gallery in 2–3 weeks.
Includes:
Up to 1 hr · Photo + video · In-person location scout · Next-day photo · Gallery in 2–3 wks
The Moment $ 750
Up to 1 hour · Photo only
Before the day arrives, I scout the location in person — confirming the spot holds up in light, checking for crowds, finding exactly where to stay hidden. On the day itself, you walk in like it’s nothing out of the ordinary. I’m already positioned, far enough back to stay unnoticed, close enough not to miss it. Photo by the next day, full gallery in 2–3 weeks.
Includes:
Up to 1 hr · Photo only · In-person location scout · Next-day photo · Gallery in 2–3 wks
A FEW THINGS YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING
Before you reach out.
-
That’s most of what I do. Tell me about her and the place you’re picturing, and I’ll work out the timing, the location, and the cover story with you.
-
I scout the spot in advance and position myself somewhere I won’t be noticed — far enough back that nothing feels staged, close enough that I don’t miss it.
-
Yes. If the location matters to you, tell me where, and we’ll plan around it.
-
I stay. The minutes right after are usually the best part — the relief, the calls to people who’ve been waiting to hear. I don’t pack up the second the question is asked.
YOU’VE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS ENOUGH
Let’s plan it.
Tell me about vision, the place, and the date you’re circling. I’ll help with the rest.
