Step 3: Choose the Right Time

Timing is everything when it comes to proposing. Choose a time that is meaningful to both of you, whether it’s a special anniversary or just a day that holds special significance. Additionally, consider the lighting at the location you’ve chosen. We tend to shoot during golden hour, that is sunrise or an hour or two before sunset.

Step 4: Plan the Details

No proposal is complete without a few special touches. We offer:

Flowers, Haku Lei’s (flower crowns), champagne, “Will you Marry Me” signs, etc. Think about what your significant other would enjoy, and plan accordingly.

Step 5. Get your Partner Camera Ready

This tends to be the most challenging part of the plan if you want to keep this a surprise. I would suggest telling them you have plans to go to a fancy dinner, but you wanted to do a quick stop to look at a view/sunset on the way to dinner.
