We're Beacon-based Hudson Valley & Catskills wedding + elopement photographers who love to capture natural, authentic moments for all couples in love.
Planning your proposal can be an intimidating process. It’s a process full of time, effort, and love. That’s why you should consider secret proposal photography for your Hudson Valley proposal. Capturing a proposal will make for the memory of a lifetime.
Hudson Valley proposal photography will bring you constant reminders of a happy time in your life. Create a beautiful memory that will stay with you long after the engagement and wedding. Here’s how to plan secret proposal photography in the Hudson Valley:
Setting a date for your proposal is important for when you’re finding a photographer. Having your date and time planned out will make the process go smoothly. Whatever your proposal plan is, lock it in and make sure there’s no way for you or your partner to cancel plans that day.
Set a location with details in mind. You’ll want somewhere that’s pretty well lit. That way, your photographer can be sneaky and not have to use flash. It becomes obvious when there’s a person with a camera following you around using flash.
Keep your eye on any impending weather situations. Sometimes things might not be absolutely perfect when it comes to your proposal plan. The weather can’t be controlled, but you can work around it. Make sure you and your photographer are aware of the weather and have a backup plan in place. Of course, if it’s a torrential downpour, you might want to consider other options.
Take a look through Instagram or use one of the ways to find a Hudson Valley wedding photographer. You’ll have to be extra sneaky and make sure you’re not leaving any traces of your research around to be found. Reach out to photographers and see what their rates and availability are for a proposal like this. This kind of mission can be a lot of fun for a photographer!
Meet with your photographer or chat on a call ahead of time to make sure you are absolutely coordinated on your proposal plan. Get ready to pop the question by running through where, when, and how it’s going to happen. Make sure your photographer is actually there to capture it before you propose. That seems like an obvious point, but you may have the jitters and not have double checked.
When it comes down to it, this memory is about you and your partner. Capturing it will just mark that memory for years to come. Don’t be too concerned about how you look or how they look. Just focus on being present in the moment with the one you love.
If you plan to get down on one knee, make sure you hold there for an extra few seconds. This way, the photographer has time to get any reaction shots and important framing that might take a few seconds to capture fully. If you’re not going to be on one knee, make sure your ring reveal is held for an extra few seconds.
We are ready, equipped, and happy to help with your secret Hudson Valley proposal. Contact us and let’s have a chat! We want to know how you’re popping the question.
Either way works for us! We’ll be in touch in no time at all to book in a chat with you and, yes, we’re sure Cordy and Phoebe will pop up and say hi.
