Frequently Asked Questions About Surprise Proposals in DFW

How far in advance should I plan my proposal with a photographer?

We recommend reaching out at least 2–4 weeks in advance, especially if you want help with planning or need a permit for your location. But we can absolutely make magic happen on shorter notice too—don’t be afraid to reach out!

How do we keep the proposal a surprise?

We’ll work closely with you to plan every detail and stay in the loop. We can even stage the session as a “casual couples shoot” so your partner won’t suspect a thing. You’ll also get tips from us on timing, cues, and positioning so the moment is as natural as possible.

Can we do an engagement shoot right after the proposal?

YES! Many couples love transitioning straight into a mini engagement session while emotions are high and the excitement is fresh. We’ll guide you through fun, relaxed prompts so you’ll have gorgeous photos from both the big moment and the happy aftermath.
