When you think about a wedding proposal you probably think about a big diamond ring, a man on bended knee and a woman shrieking with surprise. Whether a proposal is highly public, in the middle of a crowded city, restaurant, or arena, or whether the proposal is intimate and private, in a secluded park, or over a homemade dinner, the proposal is one of the sweetest and most tender moments in a couple’s relationship. Sadly, the proposal often goes undocumented.
Want more than an iPhone photo?
Okay, so the proposal isn’t totally undocumented. After a quick phone call to both sets of parents, the happy couple will probably throw an iPhone shot of the newly ringed finger on Facebook and Instagram. This is all good and well, but it doesn’t get to the heart of what a special moment a proposal is. Why not consider having a photographer present for the big moment?
Include a photographer in your proposal plans
A future groom would do well to connect with a photographer as he is planning his proposal to ensure that this once-in-a-lifetime moment is well documented. There are millions of stealthy ways for the photographer to hide or blend into your surroundings, depending on your plan. Without intruding on the moment, a professional photographer can capture the raw emotion of the event. Proposals come with so much anticipation and surprise that we sometimes get carried away and don’t get to truly savor those moments. What a wonderful gift to have the event captured on film.
Proposal photos last a lifetime
Proposal photos will be treasured by the couple, but also by the friends and family who weren’t there. Even in a crowded place, most proposals don’t involve family and friends, so it’s a treat to see the proposal unfold on film. And, your future children will love being able to see the pictures of when dad proposed to mom.
